You tripped on your cock on this one :naughty:

Hmm, I guess the tone got lost in it somewhere. I do know the original phrase to be beck and call. So I was making 2 points, beckoning call, though not the original saying, is a perfectly correct phrase in terms of context and grammar. The second point is that I have always enjoyed the "beckon call" illiteration for the reasons given. in first post.

Edit:
There have been discussions on the correctness of using "beckon call", "beckoned call" and "beckoning call" as substitute phrases for "beck and call". While beckon call, as verb-noun, doesn't make grammatical sense in the context of the intended meaning, it has always charmed me. At first it was kind of funny seeing it, but then I started thinking, "Wait, wtf is up with beck? Nobody uses that word."

So the whole point of the edit was to point out that I think grow4dough is probably too young to know the phrase. So I'm guessing he googled it and came up on the urban dictionary post, since his post seemed to be lacking any sincere thought.

Fortunately, no, you don't actually get the last word if you disappear from the forum. You see, your account here doesn't continue to post requests and brainless spam automatically while you're gone. That's something that requires your human error.

If by chance you meant "last word" to mean that you won't be reading my replies, it doesn't really concern me whether or not you read my posts. I have a strong inkling that you don't actually understand my posts even in the slightest. So, really these posts aren't for you, they might as well be written in pin yin.

Sometimes I feel like I do charity for myself rather than for other people. grow4dough was so moved by my gesture, that he sent me a heartfelt PM expressing his deepest appreciation. You say you do these things for other people, but when you see things like this, you can't help but just feel really good about yourself.

His thank you letter in a PM:

I'm happy it all worked out between you two. :inlove:

Isn't it great? Sometimes it's the shortest of words that can express the deepest of meaning.

Next stop: "I know you are but what am I?"

I've recently taken to the interesting habit of getting people to react on an emotional level online. Can't quite place my finger on it, but the same people who generally get caught up in the inanity of questions like the meaning of life, also seem to reckon (not beckon, for the britfags here) that the interwebs means anything, much less life.

It's been an interesting few days for me, and I am noticing a similar change here. I could only hope macky can trouble people at a mental level for years to come.

And you did succeed in making me angry some time ago, even though you were someone I never met in real life. I wish I could understand myself...

Edit: oh, and macky, I agree that grow4dough was unfairly rude to you and other people.

It's because the interwebz is seriouz business. But seriously alot of the fodder that get wound up are spotty teenagers with hormones raging and very poor emotional control. It's sort of like fish in a barrel, or that game of torching ants with a magnifying glass when you were a kid, they can do fuck all about it, but it's still fun.
In Oleg's case he has never really wanted to move on from being a teenager so he gets lumped in the same category, although he isn't as much fun to wind up any more since he usually agrees with me.
But back to you, I wouldn't class getting bittards to bite as a big victory, it is on the same level as getting a galvanic response from a frog, but it can be an interesting pastime.
