How Injun shortened it:

wsyrob's reply regarding the shortening of the quote:

Wsyrob, have you ever read a newspaper or magazine article and noticed how people are quoted sometimes? People's words are taken out of context all the time. When it happens to politicians, the words are taken WAY out of context, sometimes bits and pieces of comments and speeches made months apart, to make it look like a politicians just said something like "I hate America and want to see it destroyed" because the general public is to dumb to know that the "..." dot-dot-dot represents words that are missing. (Also, a word in parenthesis in the middle of a quote is a word used by the person DOING the quotation to replace a word that, when taken out of context, would be meaningless. Like when a cop says "He swerved into the guardrail" the reporter might change it to "(the driver of the car) swerved into the guardrail". Sometimes cuss words are taken out that way too.)

Example, a politician can say "I am fully committed to waging war against the terrorists who hate America and want to see it destroyed" but some propagandist will quote him and write it like this: "I ... hate America and want to see it destroyed".

For some reason putting the 3 dots in there makes it a perfectly legal way to slander a politician.

But in this particular case I don't think Injun did it to change the meaning of what you said. She just shortened it and left out the part about the idling policies.

 

I just idled away a 34. Lookin at another 16 right now. I tell them it wouldn't be idling if it was moving, or better yet I was at home.

 

It's always entertaining to watch you guys derail a thread. Then again buffet protocol is not the most interesting topic to debate. I could go for some Waffle House hashbrowns right about now. Scattered, smothered, covered and chunked oh my!

 

I'm thinkin' Arby's!​

​

 

You had to mention Waffle House?! Now Im really hungry and no ways near one!!! Thanks alot! You derailed my appetite

 

Speaking of Waffle House and what they're known for, ...

There used to be this bar & grill somewhere around Joliet, IL named "Sam & Ella's".

 

took me a minute to get that one

 

Yeah Arby's is good too but it just can't quench a Waffle House jones. It seems like since there's almost always a Waffle House on both sides of any given exit they would have better truck parking. Or maybe the truck stops should give Denny's the boot and bring in the WH. MMMM, steak and eggs on me guys. Let's go! You drive though, I got one eye closed trying to type this out. lol.

 

I only go to the Arby's that still have the "pick 5" deal and I get 5 "ham melts". Nummy nummy! I could eat those things all day.
