Grebo and the case of the missing 'E'
GreeboTCat Posted Jul 5, 2001
Hi Coley... ~sigh~... No thats not my missing E... its the other E in my name being in two places at the same time... so that me can once more be Greebo... Me thinks my missing E will not return now... ~another sigh~... If anyone does come across it though.. me would welcome it back into my name... ~hopeful grin~

Well, at least it seems that you still got your R. I was worried when I read Coelys post!

Greebo - I think that your "cloned" e is most becoming anyway - it seems to have given you a new symmetry - a certain streamined effect.
It makes you look MUCH younger

Ottox! Have you been looking at my Rs? 
That poor e. All that rushing back and forth in this heat.

I have recently come across further evidence which points to the possibility that there is indeed a conspiracy afoot ....
While listening to ABC radio (in Sydney) I found these commmonly uttered examples of vowels disappearing in much the same way as Greebo's e ....
p'lice med'cine f'nance - note the missing vowels
and I recoil in horror at "nucular" (ibid)
are these particular to Australian English or is it happening elsewhere?

I think I've noticed that too
But then again, I live in Australia too

Sorry Greebo, I was just feeling a little like Marvin so I had to do this

Are we still missing an e?

Yep the "e"'s still missing but now it looks like we've lost some "h"s too

Maybe I'd better go and put some e's and h's on my page too

Let this be a lesson to you, Greebo...You shouldn't carry your Es on you like that...It'll only lead to trouble at best (as you found out) or death/imprisonment at worst...If you can't 'Just Say No' then you should at least leave your stash somewhere safe.

Okay, I admit...It is POSSIBLE that my name might be a cover...a disengenious ploy to deflect attention...but let's face it, if I WERE dealing in illicit letters, wouldn't you expect to find me dealing in the rarer (and thus more expensive) ones such as 'X'...and, furthermore, you'd expect to find some residue about my person somewhere...and there are no Es anywhere in Xtrapol8ral...not even by accident...So I think it a LITTLE unfair to suspect me of stealing your E...

There is more of a demand for "e"s. But , I don't suspect you of stealing an "e"! 
No, no! This is a list of suspects for catnapping Greebo!
