quite a while ago, the following blog was posted,,, with a pretty good response to playing the game.
emphasis by omission, or not. the other day i replied to someone, in my usual slapstick haphazard attempt at humor. told the recipient to add punctuation as they wished. just fill in the blanks to the following. (((don't___stop___now___ ))) get the meaning you desire, or not... one of the commentors played along real well, i thought.
(no filling in of blanks and no punctuation.. you get the meaning... or not!!!)
1. Don't stop now!! (followed by soft moaning)
2. Don't! Stop now!!! (followed by a slap across the kisser)
3. Don't stop me now. (followed by unbuttoning of his shirt)
4. Don't you stop that now... (followed by a sexy wink)
5. You don't ever stop ..do you now? (followed by a puzzled look)
6. Why don't you stop that now?
7. I don't know how to stop smiling now! (said after something wonderful whilst most prolly doing this----> )
8. don't stop banging your head in that brick wall now...(cuz that is what ya are probably doing right now, see my responses, heynet Max, buddy??? )
we can change the whole meaning, by punctuating, just a little differently. or not...
