"Indeed"!
Seems to have ended in a stalemate, though.

Sounds like Barbie needs a /hallmark poli****ng/, apparently, Hammy.

You mean /advice/, right Barbie?
Look it up: http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/advice.html
Heh... another for the collection.
Here's a short list of a few of the misspellings Barbie has put out,
sometimes in the subject lines of threads:
Harlot:
But Dad got mad and beat the lad.
"You little harlet you!
Get out my door, you little whore,
forget I ever knew you!"

Testicles:
"Missing Testicals" (Mar 25, 11:57 am by Barbara Cat)
Eaten:
Children too free for the dangers out there,
you were a mother who took care of me,
and would feed us whatever you could find.
You shouldn't have ate that day, Vonnie Leigh.
-Barbara's Cat (Sun, Sep 21 2003 6:29 pm)
Eaten:
when everything digests just as it should.
Instead, they call when it's bad. Like after
you'd ate seven Soft-Shell Taco Supremes
-Barbara's Cat**** (Fri, Jun 4 2004 12:31 am)
Breathe:
I want to warm my face
in your sapphire splendor.
I want to breath your air
until our mouths go dry.
I want to wash my hands
in your silver river.
-Barbara's Cat (Sun, Feb 1 2004 8:30 am
Urm... that's enough Barbie Cat**** for one morning, but ya'll get the
idea.
