Subject: RE: BS: Resuscitate the Dead Circle
Remember I'm on a roll

The circle must be alive and well or else you wouldn't be able to roll. A spherical shape is a requisite of rolling. Well actually squarish cubes roll. Think crapshoot!

And while we are on the subject of crapshoot, and reportedly, life is just one big one, isn't it marvelous that since Mudcat reflects life, it must also be one big crapshoot? Some people sure do shoot off a lot of crap in here, myself included.

Back to squarish cubes, could we make a game of rolling former beatniks to see if we can make them cool sphericloids again? They often didn't punctuate academically in their everyday speech, but did very effectively in their poetry.

Now onto the subject of expiration of punctuation sometimes known as the death of Grammar (may she always be well and appropriately remembered). Properly appointed punctuation is always appropriate in schalarly and academic vein. However, it is often neglected in the cybersubculture of blogs and forums such as this. Why! Are we lazy? Well yes, but we have also been indoctrinated into the practice of dispensing with punctuation in the limited bandwidth/limited character space of texts and tweets. So forum really does dictate format.

How did I get into this? Think I will make some typographical symbols roll off the page
