I must have missed that one. What constitutes a "silly" breakfast?

These two guys were trying to talk business over breakfast but the waitress kept drawing clown faces on their pancakes with whipped cream.

Silly breakfasts = bad.

A Denny's Grand Slam is a manly grown up breakfast.

Excuse me, but I have a complaint. Your line, "WHY WASN'T I INFORMED?!!!", is MY LINE. I have exclusive copyright to this sentence on DP. Here is evidence of such:


There are a few others, but due to forum rules, I cannot link to them. Now, quite obviously, I have substantiated my copyright to this phrase on DP. In lieu of a royalty check...wait, changed my mind. Send me a royalty check.

You have "WHY WASN'T I INFORMED?!!!" copyrighted? WHY WASN'T I MADE AWARE OF THIS?!?!?!?©

But I edited it. See the "WTF?" in front of it? That's what makes it different. It's like the "ting" that makes the beat of Ice Ice Baby different from Under Pressure

Incorrect assertion. Notice each of my posts. There is a qualifying sentence prior to the WHY WASN'T I INFORMED?!!! Your "WTF?" was also a qualifying sentence, because of the "?". Now, if you had used a comma, instead, and kept everything to one sentence, you would have a leg to stand on in Patent Court. However, because of your punctuation failure, you do not.

You forgot to put © or ® after each instance. It becomes community property after that because it is assumed that you have relinquished your rights to the term.

Sorry, dems da rules! ©

I disagree. Due to the use of a "?" and all caps it is actually an interjection and all a part of the same sentence.

Not at all. But let us examine the definition of the question mark. From Wikipedia:

The question mark (?), also known as an interrogation point, question point, query or eroteme, is a punctuation mark that replaces the period at the end of an interrogative sentence. It can also be used mid-sentence to mark a merely interrogative phrase, where it functions similarly to a comma, such as in the single sentence "Where shall we go? and what shall we do?", but this usage is increasingly rare

The important point is "a punctuation mark that replaces the period at the end of an interrogative sentence." Notice. END of a sentence. Therefore it is not part of the same sentence. But wait. You could say it can be also used mid-sentence to mark a merely interrogative phrase. There are two problem with this possibility. Firstly, you capitalized the word "WHY" denoting a new sentence. Secondly, even if the capitalization is moot, the second sentence, or, as you are claiming, the second part of the same sentence did not have a question mark, but had a period. You cannot have an interrogative point and a statement in the same sentence. Again, punctuation is your enemy. If you had stated: "WTF? WHY WASN'T I INFORMED?" then your position that this was one sentence would be reasonable. You did not, so it is not.

It was a madhouse and so many people were not even leaving tips I must wonder just how many servers got stiffed

*If you are broke, homeless, etc. can understand not tipping but cheap folks that think they should not tip cause it is free really piss me off*

What is sad about it? If that person is homeless and has not had a nice hot meal in forever? It probably did taste like a meal fit for a king or queen.
