Eloquent Eloquence is a compilation of the ten best comments of the week. Comments in film reviews are not eligible for inclusion.

10. “Wow, you’ve got some really bad spelling errors, there.”

Let’s discuss your punctuation first. Or should I say:

Let’s discuss your punctuation, first. I Love Beets

9. Maybe John G. was being a hunter by attacking and you should praise him for being old school. Juicy Weatherbee

8. I am going to develop a sex act and name it in honor of Peter Dinklage. I love him that much. Jerry

7. Sorry for the typos, I was blinded by first-world rage. Moviefraud

6. Napoleon Dynamite was a comedy? I thought it was an act of revenge against movie audiences everywhere. Craig

5. It is SO not fun mocking dresses with just the boyfriend.

Me: Julianna Marguiles is such a disappointment tonight.
Boyfriend: She’s so hot.
Me: Why can’t Christina Hendricks find more flattering dresses?
Boyfriend: BOOBS. So much boobs.
Me: Oh my GOD what is Gwyneth we….
Boyfriend: WHERE DID THE BOOBS GO?! Julie

4. Your comment offends me, Paddydog. I demand a retraction, followed by an apology, followed by full-page ads taken out in the New York Times, the LA Times, The Lincoln Journal Star, The Boston Herald, The Washington Post, The New Orleans Times-Picayune, and the Chicago Tribune, all which demonstrate clearly and unequivocally your remorse for that thoughtless and rude comment that made my every sensibility blush to it’s core. It’s a callous disregard for human feelings and expressions such as yours that cause babies to cry, wars to be fought, famines to break out, and dogs to hump legs.

May God have mercy on your soul. Ghisent

3. Makes perfect sense. Llamas are native to the mountains of Peru. This is merely photographic evidence that Taylor Lautner has evolved to walking up the side of mountains in a circuitous manner. His right leg is obviously four inches shorter than his left. Wednesday

2. Beav, it was the STUPIDEST. Like Barbershop Quartet meets ‘50’s federal prison rapist. Internet Magpie

1. Ugh. Breaking Bad sucks.

(You’re an idiot. — DR)Pfft

I think putting it right in the comment like that is sort of an abuse of power. Pfft

Apologies! How’s this: “You’re an idiot.” Dustin Rowles

(Publisher’s Note: Pfft and I later made up after Pfft intelligently backed up his opinion on “Breaking Bad.” — DR)

I can't quite put my finger on why I feel this way, but I think this week's winner might have been a fixed outcome.

You can change the byline Rowles but we saw it!

Everybody get your brooms ready. We have Shenanigans afoot.

Except for how I haven't laughed that hard at this site in a long time when Dustin responded again to Pfft.

Dear I Love Beets:

Tomorrow is National Punctuation Day.

Here's wishing great rejoicing in your abode, as there shall be at La Casa , .

Posted by: , at September 23, 2011 10:05 AM

And may I offer my well wishes to our own (comma). May you have a glorious Saturday! Also, let's go Bucs.

National Punctuation Day. Do you think haplo just cowers in fetal position in a corner all day?

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 23, 2011 11:01 AM

You mean I can go to my town's festival tomorrow and criticize all their poorly punctuated signs without issue? Godtopus be praised.

Posted by: Robert at September 23, 2011 11:07 AM

All I know is:

...'Two spaces required between sentences'.

...and 'Comma required before last list item'.

Posted by: OldSchool60 at September 23, 2011 11:27 AM

Actually...

Let’s discuss your punctuation first. Or should I say:

Let’s discuss your punctuation, first.

Both are correct, but "Or should I say:" is not.

Nitpicker gets nitpicked.

Posted by: OldSchool60 at September 23, 2011 11:34 AM

"Two spaces required between sentences" has not been required in nigh 12 years now in any style manual. By not required, I mean that rule was completely replaced by a single space between sentences. Double spaces are now grammatically incorrect.

The nitpicker picking nits gets nitpicked.

This is some kind of sic joke, right?

Consider this mindhole blown. Thankfully Pajiba corrects it for me automatically! Even if I use THREE spaces. Someone tell me where the nearest Grammar Police station is located so I can turn myself in for 12 years worth of double-spacing infractions (I hope they'll let me off with just community service).

Also, I must have missed it the first time around, so can someone please tell me who is in the header pic? I think I'm in love.

Greedy, I believe that's Mickey Rourke during his meth phase.

Ghisent just made me choke on my grapefruit juice.

Posted by: Julie at September 23, 2011 2:34 PM

You know Ghisent you may well be exactly what this site needs after the sudden and heartbreaking disappearance of Kballs.

KBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLS!.

Nice going Rowles, thanks for handing EE over to a couple of graduates of Oprah’s “Live your best life” workshop.

Posted by: Pookie at September 23, 2011 6:26 PM

PaddyDog, is there such a thing as National Capitalization Day? I know a few Pajibans who would go absolutely catatonic that day.

Posted by: Uriah Creep at September 23, 2011 9:02 PM

My first quote on Eloquent Eloquence! I... I... I promised myself I wouldn't cry!

Posted by: Craig at September 23, 2011 11:49 PM

Since when has this been back? Man, being obsessed with baking and not being able to read Pajiba at work is really killing me.

And on the equally-important 'Comma required before last list item' issue, I send you here.

Posted by: SaBrina at September 24, 2011 11:31 AM

Wow, it's so easy to start a religious war about punctuation.

Posted by: OldSchool60 at September 24, 2011 4:54 PM

I must say, its worth it!,i'llcheck back asap,cheers
