[Revoltingest]

English. We are so concerned about keeping our sentences separate that we use 3 indicators: Capitalization, a space and a period. This leads to grammatical flexibility. We can begin a sentence with 'But'. We can use a single word to imply that it is our sentence.

And....
- Ellipses
- Semi-colon

Might not be kosher, but we do it anyway.

Can you imagine the mildew there? I would die. There are not enough allergy medicines to keep me alive in a flooded city. I would need a space suit.

I grew up in a hilly town...I love heights

One time I had seconds of Taco Bell. Boy did I wish I had a semi-colon.

Someone brought in donuts this morning, from a small (independent) donut shop that everyone is raving about. Then claim that all the various donuts they sell have a base of a Cider Donut.

There were plain "Cider Donuts" in the boxes as well and I decided that I was in the mood for a good cider donut.....Sadly...it was not a good cider donut. It was much better than a Dunkin Donuts plain donut and did not leave a strange aftertaste.....but it was, by comparison to a cider donut I get an apple orchards, rather disappointing and pretty bad

I'm going to eat some bacon....& put more fuel on the fire.

It is interesting when you find out from multiple, unsolicited sources, that someone you work with, who you thought was ok, is in reality a lying, weasel, faced git, snake in the grass.

And more nails in the coffin too

 

[Revoltingest]

Bacon has been eaten (along with chocolate & acorn squash).
Fire has been fueled.

 

[Revoltingest]

And more nails in the coffin too

No coffin for me.
My corpse will be donated for study, useful organs,
experimentation & practical jokes (if I'm lucky).

Please...don't tell me you eat bacon and chocolate in the same plate...
Pleaaase

And the elusive interrobang....

I had never imagined St Mark square in Venice could turn into a swimming pool...

With climate change causing sea level rise and Venice sinking, it's doomed sooner or later. It seems sooner.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

So how many years do I have left before Global Warming offs me, at this rate?

 

[Revoltingest]

Generally, no.
But I did once have chocolate covered bacon.

We need the rhetorical question mark

and the irony mark.

Just don't live in super low lying areas and you'll be fine. Maybe.

Did you finish it anyway?

Maybe I should put on stilts.

And people even ask why so many towns in Italy are built on the top of a hill...
