You just dropped a bomb of such apostrophic significance that I must now buy a kitten and cut off its limbs.

"hobo's exchanging stories for sponge baths"

You fucking moron, an apostrophe is never to be placed on a plural unless the noun in question is a letter (i.e. k's), an abbreviation or acronym (i.e. POW's), or a word itself (i.e. do's and don't's).

Failure to adhere to the tremendously simple rules of the apostrophe will result in being beaten with a rifle butt.

I must also mention your lack of capitalization and end punctuation.

I hope you didn't spend too long thinking that up.

Now you are just being rude. Not only that but you must be a grammar nazi on your mother's side because you are hideously incorrect, at least as far as English goes. I hope you'll allow that it has been a while since I was up with the play on the grammar of bleeding edge American.

I share the Grammar Nazi's pain.
Here's another bandwidth-sucking comic to illustrate this valuable lesson:

no, you're wrong. 'hobo' is a proper noun. he just prefers that his name be
uncapitalized. it's a martyr thing; you wouldn't understand.

not to mention, of course, that i am not striving to be especially formal
in a NON-FORMAL FORUM. to which i might also add:

my personal style of writing, be it gramatically correct or not, is entirely
my choice. and if fnord you don't like it then, you should raed something else.
or something./

and my whorendous spelling and/or grammar do not indicate my lack
of ability to command them, just my current lack of will to do as such.

Posting on your average BBS:
10% typos you didn't catch
10% typos you didn't care to correct
23% intentional typos so you don't have to type as much
10% legitimate poor spelling and grammar
7%  creativity
50% Nothing

you do the math.   don't make me break out the dangling modifiers.
