No worries, I personally dislike the 'off-topic' statement. To me the only thing that is actually off-topic is if you read a thread, want to reply but accidentally post your reply in the wrong thread. Then it belongs to the other topic ... otherwise it's all on the topic as far as I'm concerned.

There are a bunch of very random people gathered here, methinks. *Eyes Nightwolf and Rose, Queen of Randomness* :P So what's on topic for them may be completely unrelated for others ... but it's always something triggered by the topic at hand. And that's what counts.

Also doubt that Nightwolf was accusing you of off-topicness, she was just noticing a bit of interesting randomness methinks.

So no worries, please continue going off-topic if that's where your brain leads you. :D

My mistake, Empress. Please forgive my rudeness and allow me to prove my loyalty by slaying the enemies of your Randomness: Duke Conservatism and Prinses Narr Owminded.

As for meep and cheekin! (the only true wrong spelling!) ... You're my Empress and sis so that statement doesn't go for you. Only other, less fae people who do it for different reasons. :P

*Grins and inclines head* But of course. I'm always noticing something completely random. Like on halloween as I ate at a restaurant I noticed a jack o lantern and I wondered why they had the name jack to add to a jack o lantern and where'd the idea for a lighted pumpkin came from. This was in reference to how much I'd pay on my credit card for our collective food. lol

If you got confused, it's all right. Most people do when I open my mouth and speak ^_^

Now if you'll excuse me, I must run around and cheer for randomness and deciphering purposefully misspelled words :D

*Turns to Yetaro and bows*

So be it, I accept.

I shall smite thee and thy linguical poverty in the name of randomness!

*throws a yellow sock at a random bystander*

Arm thyself, fiend!

(Nice one, by the way .. actually made me laugh. :lol: )
