Dog attacks Morrissey

[JackT]

And I've had it up to here with Johnny Marr pissing away his talents in lesser bands and if rumor is to be believed wetting himself at the prospect of playing with Will Sergeant and running away scared.

Anyone who played "Girl Afraid" on Hatful of Hollow scored an infinite number of lifetime points and is therefore impervious to any and all unfortunate choices he or she might make at a subsequent time.
I don't make the rules.

Thanks for being nice about my unfortunate copy and paste job. From what I understand, you have a reputation for being a grammar and punctuation stickler. I like that.

'Girlfriend in a comma' being a particular favourite Smiths song of his.

Last week I got into no fewer than two punctuation debates, the first pertaining to punctuation inside/outside quotation marks. The second was regarding the number of spaces after a period.

It may shock some of you that I have always been an advocate of punctuation outside of the quotation mark, but it's true. And yes, only one space after the period, please.

Hmm.......remember when Madonna "fell off a horse" and supposedly broke her arm but it didn't "interfere with her tour" and she returned from the hospital looking all refreshed? Maybe it's a I-want-to-get-some-work-done-but-won't-admit-it-so-I-have-to-cook-up-a-reason-for-being-in-a-hospital (in another country even!) scam! I'm not saying it's true, but I'm not NOT saying it either.

Punctuation outside the quote mark? Oh, dear. Aside from a sentence-ending mark, like a period, question mark, or exclamation point, I will have to disagree with you. ", just doesn't look correct to me.

It is becoming increasingly common in scientific writing to conserve space; therefore, I have been trying to adopt the new "one space after the period" rule. I'm still working on it.

I think we've got the point.

Hey, Billy, do you know I'm an editor? ;-)

Since Jack has been largely missing from our lives as of late, that was for his benefit, darling.

Hey, Billy, do you know I'm an editor? ;-)

I don't suppose you edit Nympho Nurses Monthly?

I don't suppose you edit Nympho Nurses Monthly?

I am accepting any and all editing work. This sounds pretty scientific to me. I'll look into it for you.

Throwing out his own fans – has Morrissey finally lost it?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicbl ... issey-fans

'As bad gig experiences go, you'll have a tough time beating David Tseng – who, earlier this week, flew more than 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to Copenhagen only to be surrounded by security, kicked out without refund and later told (via a public statement) that the artist he had devoted his life to had banned him from his concerts. "You know what you did," he was told as security marched him out. "Er, I don't," he replied.

He might have had an inkling, though. Tseng is the owner of Morrissey-Solo.com (or "so low", as the singer calls it) – a popular fansite he has been running for nearly 15 years and whose extremities of love and loathing have earned it a contentious reputation. As one fan recently put it: "Moz once sang that it takes strength to be gentle and kind, but that's not the mentality of the trolls who comment on Solo." It's safe to say Morrissey isn't a member.

The singer recently took to the stage with a "FUCK MORRISSEY-SOLO.COM" T-shirt, while his spokesman declared war this week: "Mr Tseng, via his poisonous website, has caused so much intentional distress to Morrissey and Morrissey's band over the years that Mr Tseng is not welcome at any Morrissey shows."

. . .

The main issue, Tseng says, seems to be vitriolic criticism of Morrissey's "stagnant" new material and a backing band that some fans think needs desperately to be changed.'
