Sorry, but your post struck me as the epitome of snarky. I attempted as much snark in reply as I could.

So in the spirit of kindness, I won't mention your run-on sentence in the quote above. Instead, let me recommend a book for you: Perfect English Grammar: The Indispensable Guide to Excellent Writing and Speaking. It's only $10 on Amazon.

I do applaud your love of Rush, though.

And do you ever wonder why they don't put windmills on freeways? You have all these cars driving 80mph producing enormous wind. (If you've ever broken down on the side of the freeway you'd understand.) Why not install some small windmills somewhere along the freeway to capture all that wind being generated by the cars?

When I was a kid, for years I thought Stan Musial was Stan Musical. I had read about him and it was only when I finally heard it pronounced aloud that I realized my mistake.

Stan could be musical on occasion

I used to play golf with Stan Musial. I’ve forgotten what his last name was.

SAllen- You ever heard the expression "Don't get in a peeing contest with
a skunk"? No? Look it up, learn it, apply it... I don't respect your incorrect
corrections and will not be persuaded otherwise- it's a non-starter.

To the folks who actually understand the spirit of the sandbox (as close to the
Rush reference I could get), keep it up!!

I have heard of this Rush you speak of. From my understanding from many PBS after school specials in the 70s. This is the best song ever and second place is so far behind we as a species have not made up that word yet. I hear a heroic dose of psychedelics really helps.

That's a classic! Did you know that Rush's first single was a Buddy Holly cover?
