Maybe he means both?

What was that about a pearl handled revolver and someone from New Orleans again?

Whichever you hold in the highest esteem, of course...

For goodness sakes, can't we just have a little fun without all the criticism?

I believe we are only now getting the first inklings of the horror that is a naked Strings. Perhaps we should stop.

Speaking of naked inklings, how's the movie career?....

Gasping over the potential monumental effort that will be involved, the challenge now is to take 21 pages of disparate words and incorporate ONLY those words into a lucid commentary.  (If you'll note I have used 7 of the 8 letters from the previous word.  That would be another challenge; how many letters of the previous word can you incorporate in the new word.  The more, the brighter you are.)

I think you are grasping at straws about being smarter for incorporating more letters from the previous word. However, as I just used 100% of the letters from your word, you may be on to something...
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Errr.  I don't seem to see an R in my word or the previous word. =D

There was no R in your word. However, are any of the letters missing?: using 100% of the letters =/= ONLY using your letters....

With the arrangement of letters of the word "amateur" in the previous post, it would appear that proper spelling is as endangered as the infamous snail darter.

The question now is - how to use the word retard in a post without insulting anybody in it?

Ah, I think I got it.

Well done. You'd have been quite a dastard to use it to apply to any of our members.

"Dastard"?  I had to look that one up in my dictionary, since I'd never heard it used.  It is a word.
