Nightgaunt

Planning on it. My sister's in town from L.A. and we're going to drag her along.

Gimme good ol' Ben Nye.

Now that the weather's getting nice, Summer Fun Cthulhu has come out of hibernation at Casa del Tszura y Nightgaunt...

Create an army of egregores and conquer the near astral. Hail Eris! All hail the Red Queen!

You mentioned 'em in the title... The Groovie Ghoulies!

Hello and welcome! I'm glad you found us.

I don't know if I brought it on myself. I think there's a generational curse at work.

I can understand LOLcat, but it's annoying as hell to read. I don't think anyone is going to rant and rave because someone spelled something wrong, but I have to say that there is a difference between making a spelling error and simply not caring. I may be able to understand a paragraph full of bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation, but the statement is going to lose some impact if I've got to take time out to parse what the person is trying to say.

Here's one that I've noticed more and more in the last couple of years. People type "would of" or "could of" instead of "would've" or "could've". The "'ve" is a contraction of "have", thus "would have" becomes "would've". Heil.

I'm not a perfect grammarian or speller, but I do try my damnedest. What really frustrates me is the number of people that use an apostrophe to denote plurality: car's, book's, etc. Every single memo and sign at work is full of these, from upper management on down. I counted 19 spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors in the CEO's Christmas letter to the employees...and it was only a paragraph long! Here's another one: it's vs. its. Aaarrrrrggggg! It's (it is) your mother tongue! Learn it! All hail the Reich!

I have a really hard time finding jeans that look good on me. Old Navy are the best I've found; they fit well and seem to last forever.

Being Steampunk, gear is a must. There are some great how-to guides here...
