Do I read Terry Pratchett? Actually, I don't, but my friends do, a lot; does that count?

Is it considered impolite to question the purpose of this game?

Well, Et, perhaps he was referring to another post which he deems impolite? My goodness, do you always throat-jump so easily?

Wouldn't a discreet clearing of the throat serve as an adequate response?

If the turtleneck wasn't really a full turtleneck, would that be an example of mockery?

Isn't that the whole point of the thread, realizing that there is a rule to be followed, and then figuring it out ?  And then never stating it in so many words, but simply following the rule in your posts?

Life having plagued me with scoffers lately, the type of muffler I currently prefer for scoffers is one wide enough to serve as a bacalava, with my being allowed to assist with the fitting. The bacalava application might leave less-compelling physical evidence than would the tempting garotte application.
  I need to find that screenplay-writing app I recently downloaded.

The assessment of a post for countability counts for something, I gather.

Life having plagued me with scoffers lately,
  Try to feed your scoffers with   baklava . They'll sweeten down and leave you in peace or/and they will come down with a debilitating tooth ache.(?)

how do you spell hi, Jack?  I don't readily know how to hijack what lacks a rudder or other obvious means of control. Nice scoff, though.

I instantly mis-guessed baklava to be one of the flat breads of the world (does every culture have one or more?). Some of those pictured look formidable, so much so that I'd like to take them on about now.

Is the icon posing a question or is it merely demonstrating confusion?
