Congradulate?

He must be so proud of his gratuates.

I find the whole grammar nazi thing really grading.

Was going to be a grammar and spelling Nazi, but I can see here my work is already dun.

Do you ever wonder if twins/triplets/multiples of any number wish they'd have gotten the other ones' name instead of their own?

So, here's a real life no-joke quote concerning twins in my high school: "Jenny, do you ever wake up and think that you're Mandy?"

Lets see here. How can I join the grammar nazi party? How about this one...

"Heh. Clearly Subby didn't graduate from high school!"
No ...that is too obvious.

"I wish my dad's name was Dad. It'd be a lot easier forging his signature!"
No...not many people noticed he capitalized the "d" in dad. That one is no good.

Oh! Here is one:
"Hey, submitter, you fail at making headlines!"
Hmm. That seems fairly weak.

I'll just share a mug of Fail with subby and go about my business.

When I think triplets, I rarely ever think that they're.....guys.

does that make me dirty-minded, or the product of a porn-obsessed internet?

 
ripple123 2009-05-31 05:19:31 AM  
yeah i came across this story when i searched for "triplets" and "live video link" on google. swing and a miss.

Congrats graduating from high school, you officially have a pulse.

Anyone else thinking of 3 smoking hot high school girls until you got to 'sons' in the headline?

CarnySaur 2009-05-31 05:23:28 AM  
Maybe "congradulate" was a pun. You know, the same thing spelled forwards and backwards.

 
Bomb Head Mohammed 2009-05-31 05:27:17 AM  
Because this would have been too hard for a couple of 14 year olds with laptops and skype to accomplish? Really, this is not 1967 vietnam, and the only hero here is the TV station's marketing manager for convincing people like subby that such blatant promotional gimmicks are "heroic."

 
unicron702 2009-05-31 05:27:30 AM  
I hear the word "triplets" and I hear the word "sons" I am a sad panda.

So I'm not the only one. First thought: Yeah, but are they hot? Then came the word "sons." My day's done. I think I'll go to bed thinking about 18-year-old triplets of the more enticing variety.

When I read the word "triplets" and "high school," I didn't even bother to finish reading the headline, so when I clicked through to the article and saw the picture, I was sorely disappointed.

Sons? Who cares...

Ironically, this might be the most troll-tastic headline of the week.

 
MrHappyRotter 2009-05-31 06:03:41 AM  
Um, "i" before "e" except after "c" unless it's on Sunday in which case we randomly replace "t" with "d".

 
SparkerFarker 2009-05-31 06:04:05 AM  
It's spelled congraduate, moran !

Subby works for a cheesey greeting card company methinks.

"Congradulations on gratuating"

What, like Notlob?

This is definately a wierd thread.

Congradulate?


It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Wait -- male triplets? Totally gay four-way potential? Why is this not bigger news?

Subbys headline is full of fale.

The Onanist:

Are we sure it isn't a play on all of those lame Hallmark graduation cards?

'ConGRADulations! Here's some money!'

/probably not

Came to say this.

 
Nakito 2009-05-31 08:08:48 AM  
According to advertising experts, "congradulations" is an acceptable play on the spelling of "congratulations" during graduation season. Some experts take the position that it is the only acceptable spelling to use in that context.

I predict that within 20 years, it will be the only spelling that survives at all.

lazymojo: SAPPY?

I'm guessing the Hero tag is for dad. The rest of the story would be more like sappy.

Approves of triplets.

jmr61: So it wasn't them?

Sadly, I guess not.
The headline had me at 'triplets' and lost me at 'sons'.

Came in anyway hoping for something along the lines of your pic.

Subby must be a former cake decorator.

Came to see posts banging subby for use of HERO tag, left disappointed.

Oh, triplet boys? Well, who gives a shiat then...

 
doglover [TotalFark] 2009-05-31 10:03:35 AM  
aar0on: Oh, triplet boys? Well, who gives a shiat then...

Damn skippy. There's only two kinds of triplets: three girls who look different and three girls who look alike.

Three boys in the same cooch is just as unremarkable as a dog that likes steak. Calling them triplets cheapens the value of the word.

As for mixed liters, we've all read a song of fire and ice. Mixed twins be rockin' the cradle all night long. Three kids just do it in a big pile like hamsters. Nasty.

THIS. The news on that station had been hyping this for a couple days leading up to the graduation. Even my computer illiterate wife knew that all they needed was some geek with a webcam and yadda, yadda, yadda, soldier dad would be able to see them graduate. Also, the "media" trumped this up as "these are the only 3 kids in America whose parent is overseas and won't see the kids graduate. OH NOES!"

If your dad is proud of you for finishing high school ; he must not think much of you.

My thoughts, too. High school is not hard to finish. They'll give any idiot a diploma these days.

Hell, my parents didn't even want me to bother with my high school graduation ceremony. College graduation was the big farkin deal.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Did your parents skip your high school graduation ceremony?

I thought not.
