Your over sensitivity to criticism about your misuse of punctuation (And now you’re accusing me of the same thing, how sad). Your tendency to go overboard replying to a good natured tease, e.g., your stealth condom remark. Your willingness to throw a hissy fit at the slightest provocation. Now can you blame me if I get the impression that your behavior is a bit effeminate?

Like I said, when you confessed to being a cheer leader, I got this mental image of a big Canadian lumberjack with three days growth on his face, dressed up in traditional cheer leader garb, and it was you. I got a good laugh out of it, and moved on. I think if everyone here was honest with you, they’d say pretty much the same thing because it’s funny. Have you ever heard of Monty Python?

BTW, I don’t think you’d recognize an independent clause if it came up to you and bit you on the ass. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. An independent clause uses a semi colon, NOT A COLON. This is a semi colon ; Here’s an example of how to use a semi colon: “Oh, by the way, a stealth condom wouldn’t have made it any easier to see it coming; your mouth was closed.” The independent clause: a stealth condom wouldn’t have made it any easier to see it coming is, in and of itself, a complete thought, i.e., it can stand alone.

Furthermore, you don’t know a colon from your rectum. “A colon is used to mark a major division in a sentence, to indicate that what follows is an elaboration, summation, implication, etc, of what precedes.” (Dictionary.com) This is a colon :

Apparently, you suck at a lot of things: you don’t have a sense of humor, you don’t know how to punctuate, you’re Canadian, and you don’t have a colon.

You don’t have to thank me for the grammar lesson. I don’t mind helping losers like you improve your writing skills.

FYI, the best thing to come out of Canada was Preston Scout House.

Still having trouble with the punctuation, eh genius? FYI, when you use a colon you have to have an independent clause ahead of it: like this. For a guy who goes around correcting others you sure suck at it.

Oh, by the way, a stealth condom wouldn’t have made it any easier to see it coming; your mouth was closed.

See how easy it is to not make a sexist comment?

I’ve spent most of my working life in male-dominated industries, and never mind being underestimated. My guess is that anyone who looks at Wilka as “just a cheerleader” does so at his peril.

On second thought…nevermind. Ha ha

Recently, I read an article on Rick Perry that led with his having been a cheerleader at Texas A&M. The context was pretty clear — that he’s dumb, and being a cheerleader was the highlight of his academic career. Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott was another politician who got the “he was a cheerleader in college” treatment.

Sorta appropors, I have a niece who was a cheerleader at West Point (before graduating, then doing 2 tours in Iraq). They have male cheerleaders at West Point as well.
