Up early to go to a Home Depot 6 am company meeting. Killing time. Here's something I surfed onto. Someone had tweeted the intro and outro to Jonny Quest. Chase Bannon Good Doug Wildey stories.
Woke up early this morning and realized in my rush I'd forgotten Beata!! Unforgivable. She was one of the first I'd planned to put in, but got lost in tracking down people's avatars, running out of time, etc., etc...
The best advice on possessives I've heard is "spell (and punctuate) it like you say it." E.g., "Ellis's" or "Marty Davis's," but if it belongs to Blair and I both, "The Davises'" etc.
I agree "Ellis's" looks weird, but it should be correct if you unravel it grammatically...or so I believe!
Marty, drop me an e-mail at tomandpatty@cox.net so I can put your e-mail in my address book. I lost a lot of e-mail addresses when I got a new hard disk and motherboard.
(Now I'm afraid he wants to castigate me privately for this bit of TV bastardy...I swear the title was gonna be "Ellis & Tom's Laugh-In" but it was too many new letters to do!)
FUNNY!
ReplyDeleteGenius!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteSweet! That is a great idea.

The Laugh In era.
ReplyDeleteBeata sent me a cake I want a slice with the Boy Wonder Cape icing.
ReplyDeleteBefore I go to work. Check out how your screwed up brain works.
ReplyDeleteDANG IT!

Beata, don't think you are not loved!
El, a Sunday 6:00 meeting? Sounds more like AA than HD!
ReplyDeleteDude, hope the peoples are good to you today. And I loved the Rave Bannon doc--and Beata's cake!
Happy Birthday Ellis!
ReplyDeleteBatman looks like he's gooey fruitcake swirled with banana cake covered with licorice icing. The least tasty item on the cake.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Ellis possessive Ellis'
Great post Marty! Happy Birthday Ellis!
ReplyDeleteSchmitz is a pretty good stand in for Dick Martin.
ReplyDeleteEven though temperament-wise he's more of a Rowan.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for all the Birthday shout outs.

ReplyDeleteSure thing, Tom.

Happy late birthday, Ellis! Hope you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteI was kind of hoping you'd do this very thing, Marty!
ReplyDeleteNo worries about not including my avatar --
I'm not a Virgo.
And wipe that smile off your face.
I was just reading Ellis's new Bernie Wrightson CREEPY book.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marty. Special gift.
