Vancouver Sun: Caught In Love’s Net. [via Textism] The story of the love affair between Dean Allen and Gail Armstrong, two well-known and well-loved bloggers.
“All right, you peevish, pugnacious, paperback pundit,” her first volley began. “Pertinaciously pronouncing pro-pretty-print panegyrics, perpetuating perishing panda puns, prizing perfervid pedestrian performances, parading pithy playwrights’ petulant paronomasia, plagiarizing pleasure palette penman’s passion plight…”
This went on for 27 more p-words, all to be found in the Oxford English Dictionary and all used perfectly grammatically.
“I suppose that’s when I first became really interested in Gail,” Dean says.
A must-read.
