Yes!

My bonus arrived today, so convincing Louise to go out shopping should be easy, plus I'm off all day Monday for St. Patricks day with nothing to do. So anytime this weekend would be good

No begging, please.

I think it's cool that there is this level of care and dedication put into a game. Of late I've played some really buggy games. I don't have people pestering me for what I've been doing on my hold. Because I think only Chaco is the only person that has managed to finish what I have done. Ok, I'm rambling, but its only because I'm listening to Linkin Park at the moment.

That bank balance is precisely what many of us don't have. And if I were going to pay that much, I'd probably want to go too! Moreover, who puts a computer game over their love life? Really, I doubt he wanted DROD most, and I believe he simply meant that it would be a nice way to fill the time, if he must be deprived of her presence!

We dish the jokes out but we just can't take 'em. Or men are just clueless, which is probably more likely.

Most hats would likely be harmful to eat. Even a simple straw hat would be rough on the digestive tract.

And here we have demonstrated a classic problem with Internet forum usage.
You see, in normal communication we have tone, expression, and gesture, which compose perhaps up to a quarter of the total message. In the forum, mere words are not automatically accompanied by these. Thus, if one wishes one's words not to be taken literally once and perhaps for all, one must format and/or contextualize the words properly to communicate the desired effect. Smilies are most useful for indicating emotion, while color & b/i/u/s & size tags all create emphasis. Plain text, when these are available, tends to evoke the inference of literal statement.

Then you fixed incorrectly. 2 things:
Primo - I sarcastically said that Raygun is REALLY needed, so I didn't mean that Raygun isn't needed, but that Raygun isn't really needed, so I mean, that the game can do very well without Raygun. I suppose it was allusion that Raygun is confirmed TCB feature, or something. Right?
Secundo - It is just my opinion, right?

×May I nit-pick please? - substitute "blooming" for "bloom".

But that'd make 8 syllables...?

no it wouldn't; "flowers" looks like it's 2, but it's pronounced as one; we don't say "flow - ers"

seriously?

flowers as in "flou--ehrs"

well that would make schep's version correct of course. Over here it's flow'rs so:

Else-where flowers bloom; but here
*      *      *      *     *    *   = 6

Sorry schep! I really didn't intend to make this into a tutorial on language structure!

Yes, we do. /ˈflaʊ-ər/, or [flou-er]. I can't even get my mouth to say flow'rs, although that pronunciation is legible, and accepted for the purposes of songs and poems.

Edit: And in this case, the two-syllable pronunciation is preferable for grammar, as filling in the gap left by contracting it using blooming makes an awkward sentence, grammar-wise.
