That's the deal. Jim's lapse in his normally good judgement will cost him dearly as he rear-ended a Subaru full of nuns who now suffer from severe whiplash, one and all. Jim describes this crappy turn of events as only Jim can: "Fuc me" In defense of Jim’s second message, he was texting - while driving actually - so he was otherwise occupied - or he should have been.

That’s the deal. Jim’s lapse in his normally good judgement will cost him dearly as he rear-ended a Subaru full of nuns who now suffer from severe whiplash, one and all.

“Fuc me”

I bow before the master. Awright, awright, I’ll concede the point: Jim is one of the giants of modern American literature. I bow before the master.

A complete communication with nary a wasted byte. Clearly, the second post was made to illustrate the fallacy of G.D.s argument. Omitting the k just doesn't measure up -- lacking the forceful visual conclusion. It's like sex without climax. And the period of the first post shows polish, professionalism, clearly denoting the completion of thought -- worthy of inclusion in the WAW record book. The second offering leaves one hanging. The assemblage is reminiscent of off-topic amateur ramblings. However, once again, he scores his point in want of unnecessary filler. Bravo!

Or maybe he sent it as a text message. The "F" word happens to be a gift to the English language when used with passion, creativity and restraint. I give you R. Lee Ermey's solilloquy from FULL METAL JACKET as an example. When he's pacing around that barracks of Marine recruits, his "Welcome to My Beloved Corps" orientation speech has a grace and eloquence that's quite moving. It's f-ing beautiful.

Now I gotta come up with a whole new metric too: Words per Post. Jeezus. Hey Jim, were you using the word as a verb or or an interjection? If I'm gonna do this statistics stuff, I might as well do it right. Not really NTI, but since I appointed myself the WAW statistician, what choice do I have?

He could have dropped the "k" and gotten the same message across. I thought Jim’s comment was self-indulgently long. He could have dropped the “k” and gotten the same message across.

You wanna check the record John? However, It does pretty much say it all. Well put. Well Jim, that has to be the most succinct comment ever posted at WAW. You wanna check the record John?
