I started Banterist in 2003 after this conversation with my cat. It led to all sorts of good things.
You besmurch the memory of our late patriarch at you’re perril!

If you shoot a busty gypsy fortuneteller by mistaqke one day, Mr. Gypsy is gonna be pissed. ‘Cause she should have seen it coming.
Maybe we could distract you somewhat by sending you slightly southward,
where the right to bear arms has its own unique set of potential horrors all gift wrapped in snazzy paper and waiting like a BOO! waiting behind the closet door to give the next passer-by the scare of his or her life.
Be aware, though… when this information is applied in conjunction with egregious acts of inattentive and outright grammatical and punctuational laziness it could get a little messy.
