i've got no concrete idea
[could put a fullstop right here actually, but won't]
as to what to write about at present.
anybody know a good limerick?
the one about the old man from calcutta perhaps ...
a funny gag? there was an englishman, an irishman, and a scotsman ...
does anybody 'out there' ever feel like puking
if they brush their teeth soon after drinking a glass of orange juice?
or is this perhaps indicative of a stomach ulcer?
i hear there are some really putrid / bitter, yet effective, herbs prescribed by practitioners of chinese medicine, for treatment of such ulcers.
yes and do u realise
['that everyone u know ...']
that green tea & black tea are from the exact same plant; the key difference is how long each is roasted.
i haven't really got any further ideas at this juncture
well, at least none that i can be arsed to translate into type right now; so i think i'll leave it about there, for now
although i will add that i do wonder, not infrequently, as to whether or not i may tend to over-use semicolons; and on a related note, i do also wonder as to whether or ont i might, at least occasionally, use semicolons somewhat inappropriately.
certainly i think it is fair to say
that i generally prefer usage of the semicolon over the colon.
actually i've just recalled my discussion of sigmoid colons in my last post; but i assure u that my present discussion of these punctuation marks was not consciously intended to provide any form of link [tenuous or otherwise] to that post.
what i was going to say was that as a kid
i did favour semi-trailers over 'regular' trailers.
especially the ones that had those little compact bed/cabin things right behind the driver's seat.

Sir,
I must regretfully inform you that I have removed the link to your blog from my own. This situation will remain until you post something interesting or at the very least coherent. My hand has been forced by the sense of duty I feel to my own legion of loyal readers. Good Lord, sir, the sigmoid colon indeed.
The nausea produced by the interaction of orange juice and toothpaste parallels the palpable phsyical effect of your blog upon my constitition. At the very least, please deign to punctuate your prose in a manner consistent with convention.
Good day.
Dear Sir,
It is with great regret that i read your comments. At present i have no riposte, no argument. All i will add is a request that u perhaps reconsider your decision. Actually let me finish with the question: 'why should i align my punctuation eith convetion?'. And in doing so I've used a colon.
Simply put: in order that your diverse audience may better comprehend you, sir.
The vagaries of your meaning will defy understanding on their own account. Removing additional and unnecessary impediments can only aid the reader's plight, and therefore enhance their chances of engaging with you in the grand commerce of ideas.
in the grande market-place - bazaar - of ideas i carry only loose change; no plastic ...
