The picture has potential, the caption kinda screws it up. To bad.
PS: First.
TOO bad.
Cool, someone else used my name. But yes, too bad, I keep mixing those 2 up.
…and then there’s your inane, basement dwelling attempt at superiority thru being the ‘first’.
re “First:” Alone–silly; pointless. Attached to a topical comment as a PS–acceptable; playful.
.
re LOL: Your mother called. She wants her coat back.
Yeah, what happened, cape was at the cleaner’s?
LOL His mom needs to lock her vanity area. I think he got into her hair products, too!
* When going TO the store, take the shortest route.
* My god, there are TOO many Os in this word.

Am I a harsh grader? When I vote, LOLs with spelling errors get 86ed for bad delivery. I hope this LOL didn’t get through because the vast majority of voters didn’t notice the error. There is no shortage of well-executed LOLs. I’m baffled.
You clearly over-estimate the average LOL-voter’s ability to spell and catch grammatical errors.
Unfortunate as that may be…
I am too picky. These are, after all, LOLs. Thanks for talking me down!
)
*eyetwitch* I know…what’s with the plague of misspelled LOLs recently?
Kuro, you and I are sitting here having eye twitches, and the authors of the misspelled LOLs are giggling and making more. Who’s having a better time?
Hmm…we should fight back! With gramatically correct LOLs! *strikes Superman pose* Grammar Nazi Force…assemble!
mind if i join?…..sounds fun. >)
Of course you can join! We can use your Death Angel skills, certainly! ;o)
omg you’re retarded
If it involves smacking misspellers with rulers, I’m IN!!

Well, split my infinitive! Welcome aboard, Slan Man!
Actually, could we lose Sgt. Semicolon? He looks a little too winky to me…
Can I bring my Dangling Participle of Death to beat people with?
I’m sorry……with which to beat people. No prepositions here.
Prepositions are things up with which we cannot put!
*Hanging* prepositions, that should be. (What a time to screw up!)
That’s all right; in this randy crowd we’re far more likely to end a sentence with a proposition.
LOL!! You have a good … what are you wearing, big boy?
A hopeful expression. :^D
*prepares to pounce*
Oh, really…?
Oh, absolutely!

Of course, but might I suggest you make that your
“Dangling Participle of Death [tm]?”
What do you think of “Ruler of Grammatical Vengeance [tm]” for my weapon?
I could let you borrow my HammAr of GrammArâ„¢
Arrr, that’s the pirated version.
WOW!! Most impressive! Jump on board, Max!
Oooh, ooh, ooh, can I have the job of administering pain to people who misuse quotation marks? Prettypleasewithsugarontop!?
Naturally! You are a perfect addition to our merry band. As a Swede, you can stand on high moral ground, correcting the first language of others! Make sure you’re extra brutal on those apostrophe felons!
Oh, thanks for mentioning those, I just realised that I omitted them from my Dream Job description.
)
.
A pet peeve of mine is the “it’s” where it should be “its”. Not to forget the similar ugliness of “you’re” where it should be “your”.
.
Argh. I hate making huffy posts about grammar and spelling, they always result in my own posts being inexplicably full of errors for a while. Damn that Murphy.
Ah, Grasshopper–You have the spirit, but you have forgotten the most disgusting abuse, that of pluralizing with apostrophe’s! <—like that
Another apostrophe error in your charge is the ‘lazy quote.’ <—like that
-
LMAO!! I just finished correcting a mistake I made above–ACK!
Forge ahead, Dear: Grammar policing is tough business; but we’re fighting the good fight, keeping PK safe for all responsible users!
I’m much more irritated by the reverse. “Your stupid!” Your stupid what?
:headdesk: Read that as My stupid what?
Hear, hear. I should have added “and vice versa”.
)
LOL!! On seeing “your” for “you’re,” I invariably ask that question in my head. My main mystification is “Where are you at?” It’s *shorter* to say it correctly, even. The song “Glycerine” is one of my favorites, but I cringe through “I’ll never forget where you are at.” Even for cadence/rhyme, it grates my noives!
For some reason the “at” at the end rides fine with me if the whole thing is in poor grammar. What I mean is that when it goes as far wrong as “Where you at?” grinds less on my nerves.
P
.
The “as long as it’s way wrong”-factor doesn’t always work on me, though. Even in lolspeak, I get frustrated at “IZ IN URE HOWSE”, because it should clearly be “UR”.
See? Those damned fairies stole an it. Can I borrow your gnome, please, please, please?
(
zOMG–Get Out of my Head!!
I thought I was the only one who got pissy over misspelled LOLspeak. It kills me when “the” is spelled “the,” and not the established “teh.”
What has this world become??? ;o)
Can I be Colonel Comma?
We would be delighted!!!!! Not only that, but you can also be in charge of periods and overuse of exclamation points!!!!!
Haha.. I noticed after I made it but neglected to care, as this was definitely not one of my favorite lols. Also, it’s hard to put the extra effort in for a quick spell check when your submitting from a cubical without a back wall in a high-traffic hallway during work hours (this comment included).
I’m actually really surprised that it was my first to make the front page. Even when I made it I didn’t think it was particularly funny.
*shrug* Apparently someone liked it.
along with that misspelling.. shouldn’t it be “tell” rather than “told”? “Anyone ever tell you that…”
Anyone really care?
I was looking at this one thinking, “What joke do I make with someone dressed as a gay, fascist Superman? Nope, not gonna touch that!”
How about “Thanks to this guy, everyone viewing this photo can now feel one notch higher up on the cool scale.”
A little too wordy…
I agree, but had to laugh. It reminds me of the scene in Amadeus in which the court composer critiques Mozart: “Too many notes.”
Hah! I love that movie.
That was a great one. I often think of the last scene when things are going nuts at work…
This is…a…very nice girl… :^)
*mwah*
Lol, I’ll remember to say “too many words” next time! I loved that movie,
need to see it again.
Or better yet, “too many letters”.
Now you’re talking! ;o)
The real question is, is the guy in front of or behind the warning tape? Maybe he’s the danger what with his super powers of fashion sense!
He’s behind the tape. Maybe they’re gonna quarantine the guy in the Superman costume, so they can keep it from spreading.
Meh. And I’m confused about the guy in front, it looks like he should be the one talking, but he’s not facing “superman”. Either that or the caption should be about him. Right now he’s just randomly hanging out.
I agree. A little cropping could have gone a long way on this one.
Anyone ever tell you that if you post on here more than five times a day, it means you have no life ?
Or you’re at work and bored… but obviously troll, you dont know what having a job is like, or you’d have thought of that option.
Minataur (sic) is just bitter and nasty and looking for a fight to make him feel better for being a loser.
I think Minataur (sic) meant, “…if you post on here more than five times a day under the same misspelled name…”
Cheers Rho, that’s been bothering me too. ; )
I just figured he was gender confused, you know O = masculine in spanish,
A = feminine. That kind of deal. But hey… maybe I was being too nice and he
is just stupid.
Yeah, we had a pow-wow about that notion. I think the outcome was that s/he meant to spell “Minitard.”
That one has my vote!
You’re good peeps, Eds!
)
Awww, thanks! You are too y’know!
)
;o)
So why do you come here? Does your life really revolve around insulting people that you don’t know? My folks taught me that values included being polite to people, fairly easy when you have to pin your own name to something, not so easy when you can remain anonymous. I think that if you decided to have a conversation on this site, people would respond to you differently, even if you agree to disagree. So I challenge you to step up to the plate…I’ll even tell you how to spell BOB backwards.
Hmmm BOB backwards… B… Q…. F*CK! Looks like Im no better….
I guess I’ll have to go clean the erasers again
*slips Max a Mini Dust-Vac*
I hate the grammatical degradation of Pundit Kitchen.
Leave politics to the big boys, kids.
Why?
Yes, why should the Neotenous adults get all the fun?
I daresay that if a person (Usually children or teens from the age of 12-19) cannot use english in a way to make themselves sound intelligent and aware of what happens in the world today, they are mentally unable to handle the intricacies, trials, and tribulations of American Politics.
Now, do you see how I made myself sound way more intelligent than I really am? Most people my age (17) have no clue what half of those words mean, and don’t even know who Joe Biden is. So, due to my intellect and composure and mildly vast vocabulary, I am able to bluff myself into the political scene. Kind of like Bush or Palin, except I don’t have to have an aide to tell me what’s going on in the world.
So, no. I’m not saying children and young people of America should not get involved in politics. I’m simply saying that they should learn how to properly speak before any involvement.
Nah, that’s no fun.
Yes, having a good grasp of a language easily gives power. I don’t think that those who lack language skills should be forbidden to participate, though. (Once upon a time I basically did think so, but have learned that it just ain’t that easy to recignise eejits.
P)
I disagree… idiots are easy to spot, but it’s not always wise to presuppose a lack of typing ability is an indicator of overall intelligence. some of the most glistening pieces of grammar on PK I shiver to think of raising pigs, let alone children…
Well, yes. The idea that language alone does not indicate the idiocy level of the writer was what I was trying to convey. I will immediately claim that my post was meant as an example of how using reasonably correct grammar and spelling is not always enough to make your ideas come across. ;oP
—
(Also, excellent language skills sometimes appear in the most block-headed induhviduals under the sun.)
And, now, having read these posts a few more times I think I simply misread your post – the sentence “some of the most glistening pieces of grammar on PK I shiver to think of raising pigs, let alone children…” I, for some reason, read with a pinch of irony; that you by “glistening” meant terrible. It was a very weird mis-read, and I apologise for causing more confusion than necessary.
No, I meant the people who, despite being able to construct a sentence, seem to have the sensibilities of Gilles de Rais.
While bad grammar generally makes my skin crawl, I have to agree with you here Uncle Fester. People can be book smart and incredibly stupid at the same time.
“Some of the most glistening pieces of grammar on PK I shiver to think of raising pigs, let alone children…”
Hey, Unc–What do you have against pigs?
I can certainly see how that post made you sound like an elitist shmuck. Do you know what that word means?
Shmuck? Isn’t that what Smurfs do after shmoreplay?
Theyah’s ONLY ONE Smurfette…..Theyah’s MOAHR than one REason ouwah BALLS ahre BLUE.
I dunno. I’m thinking some of those blue boys may be “batting for the other team.”
And then they have a shmoke after?
Absholutely!
P
Is the guy in the back having a pee? :O
Man, I’ve seen that guy before. He wanders around the presidential palace in Lima. Peru. I think he dresses up like that every day, what a odd little dude.
Lois Lane is so stupid it’s annoying. ZOMG he put on the glasses, now he is Clark, not Superman.
To avoid further embarrassment for her obvious lack of observance and overall intelligence known for getting herself in trouble, she later changed her name to Ann Coulter
awkward sentence, please don’t fry me grammar nazis.
My wang… Is not feeling it tonight.
z’ok, D, I’m sure someone here will feel it for you …
That might cheer me up enough. ; )
That mental image made me lol. It’s like a baby playing peekaboo!
Ok how does lame crap like this make it to the front page? Honestly!
I agree and I made the lol. This one was really half-assed even in my own opinion.
“Little did Carl suspect that the 3rd wish would include crime scene tape, armed policemen, and wearing a bad copy of a Superman costume all while visiting Juarez.”
OK, as a five dollar caption, that is funny…
whats with the superman?
The guy with the superman suit is just a fellow who dresses like that every day. He just wanders around the “Plaza de Armas” in Lima, Perú. Some days he works inviting the people to enter in one of the various business in the surrounding streets. That’s his work, i think.
The picture was taken in the “Plaza de Armas” (i recongnize the classical yellow painting of the buildings there. Surely it was closed for some accident or a street repair. That’s why the cops are there.
And, yeah, i live in Lima and that’s the reason why i know all this and the reason of my lame english too.
I was looking at this and going “That cop looks NOTHING like Clark….” So I E-mail it to my mom, who goes “Honey.. they’re talking about the guy in the Super Man suit..” “Huh? There’s no guy in a… well I’ll be damned..”
Didn’t notice that fellar at ALL lmao!
I think the person who wrote this either needs a few classes in spelling or better Clark Kent glasses.
