#378 - Jr. Pantheon Games: Wakey, Wakey
Previously - There was a big turning point for the Norse pantheon when they put in the effort and discipline necessary to succeed in the last Pantheon Games.
Currently - I guess you can’t expect lightning to strike twice (at least, where this pantheon is concerned).
Bed washing event? Sounds exciting! “And Thor takes the lead by adding the detergent before even turning the washer on!”
Also, I wonder if the squirrel that bonked Thor was a trained squirrel, or just a very well-hidden Scotsman?
Or maybe it was just a innocent acorn falling from a tree?
But I like the trained squirrel idea. Trained in the art of warfare. Or pillaging. Or… both.
It’s probably one of those squirrels that give Tyr such a hard time.
Perhaps it is Ratatosk himself helping out…
I think that I had that grammar troll in school myself, as well as his brother, the spelling troll. But then, I also had a mother who was a teacher in the same school system.
Spelling has its bee. It can’t have the troll too. Trolls is for grammars. >wham<
Nothing like going to sleep covered in sudsy soap to get a bed clean. Yep, Thor mastered that technique, alright.
this should be interesting!
Did we ever get a glimpse of the grammar troll? I don’t think we did because I feel like I would remember something as awesome as that.
Shh… I was dropping a small hint of things to come in a future storyline. My literature pixie tells me it’s supposedly a literary device called “foreshadowing”, but I think he suffers from syllable envy.
But let’s keep all this between you and me.
The “foreshadowing”… not the syllable envy. You can tell anyone you want about the literature pixie’s syllable envy.
My lips are sealed.
As a Grammar Troll, I resent being called ’stupid,’ as I am not. Also, ’stupid grammar troll’ is an appositive in that sentence, and should be preceded by a comma, not a period. As it stands, that’s a sentence fragment.
Time to bring out the rack.
Spoken dialogue is not required to meet written grammar rules. Spoken dialogue is plagued with inappropriate grammar for connotative meanings left unsaid. I’ve got my ruler.
I fear not your ruler; kings have fallen to us previously, often after splitting infinitives once too often. Meanwhile, ‘plagued ‘ is an apt word. Perhaps it is time to address this ‘loophole.’ I shall introduce the idea at the next MLAT (Modern Language Association of Trolls) convention.
If nothing else, it will provide an alternative to burning Clemens in effigy once again.
P.S. If any of my students address me as ‘grammar troll’ in the weeks to come, I’ll know who to blame.
