A Conversation for Grammar

I really must pay more attention to what's going on around me, I suppose I've already missed the fishing trip?

Afraid so, Jonny. If it's any consolation, so have I (or, should that be so has me?).

Me really don't know, grammar's all Greek to myself (or should that be: "I really dont know grammars all greek to me"?)
Personally, I blame Spartus' conceptual humour kick - although that all sounds sort of irrelevant now I've typed it.

As far as me can tell, "Spartus' conceptual humour" = Spartus thinks it's funny.
But what would me know. Now me sound like Bizarro Superman.

Actually, Cookie Monster. "C" is for cookie, dat good enough for me.. Perhaps someone should tell C?

Spartus Posted Jun 4, 1999
No, the conceptual humor of mine is the stuff that was funny in my head, but once I typed it out, it wasn't funny any longer, just strange. Or stuff that only I know the punchline for. See, this is another example: conceptual explanation. Forgive me.

That's a bit of a non-sequetor (if that's how it's spelt) isn't it? Why's Cookie Monster even interested in recording media?

Jonny, as far as I can tell, this thread really has no discernable topic, so non-sequiturs would be hard to define. Like this, for instance: I've just explained why there couldn't be a non sequitur in response to your response to Krissy's supposed non sequitur. The only way I could remain anywhere near a topic (if there was one) is if I mentioned I was going conceptual-humor fishing with Bizarro, Cookie Monster, and some chap named Non Sequitur.
At least, I think that's how it would work. I really have nothing to say, I just wanted to stick in a post because I'm here.

My point was that:
dat [DAT is] good enough for me
Doesn't really follow from:
"C" is for cookie.
I wasn't trying to imply that this, or any other, thread had any sort of coherent topic. You see, conceptual humour.

This is you being mean to me again, isn't it?
Ah, it's a pity. Boost bars are readily available all over London. It'd be a shame if I forgot to buy some, wouldn't it?

Me? Mean? I don't have a mean bone in my body!
You're missing the point (deliberately, I suspect).
Conceptual humour is stuff that you think is funny, but that just comes out strange, but then... and this is the bit you're forgetting... I generally think it's funny too, even though by all accounts it should only be funny to you.
Or something. I don't know. Either way I suspect I'm only going to get to enjoy the Boost bars vicariously.
