First, you are obsessing on post that is going on three weeks old and ignoring more recent posts. Second, when I say "check boxes" I mean as with an "X". If I had used circles, I would have said "fill in" instead of "check". Third, I have never seen voting ballots that have circles. Only SAT answer sheets have circles and students are instructed to use NUMBER 2 PENCILS ONLY. I never said a word about number 2 pencils. Our voting ballots here in Georgia are on computerized touch screens with square boxes and when you touch the square box of your choice, AN "X" APPEARS IN THE FORMERLY BLANK BOX (NOT CIRCLE). I am still not shouting, but I may begin shortly.<br /><br />You have a happy new year now, you hear? But stay away from the eggnog and spiking fluids of all kinds. rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-75452769313049058312014-12-27T14:59:29.525-05:002014-12-27T14:59:29.525-05:00"They are BOXES TO BE CHECKED (no, I am not s..."They are BOXES TO BE CHECKED (no, I am not shouting). The phrase "pick one" also appears in my title more than once, so it is obvious to the careful reader."<br /><br />In my school, we checked circles, not boxes; on their voting ballots, voters check circles, not boxes; and when I feel out medical forms, insurance forms, DMV forms, and every other kind of form I've ever seen, I check circles not boxes. This makes you the ONLY PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD who not only expects people to check boxes, but gives then boxes that can't even be checked.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-4166596870105901682014-12-21T15:41:10.507-05:002014-12-21T15:41:10.507-05:00Thank you all for commenting.

I shall now answer <b>Snowbrush's</b> questions:<br /><br />Those "funny-looking rectangle" thingies in my title are not funny-looking rectangles at all. They are BOXES TO BE CHECKED (no, I am not shouting). The phrase "pick one" also appears in my title more than once, so it is obvious to the careful reader.<br /><br />Methodists don't have censers like the EO and RCC. We have Boy Scout Sunday instead. If you're asking why I didn't censor (note spelling) Yorkshire Pudding, it is because he prefers to be hoist on his own petard.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-76441236300992861802014-12-21T14:04:27.390-05:002014-12-21T14:04:27.390-05:00"If I were American I would always vote for T..."If I were American I would always vote for The Democrats and I would stalk Republicans in order to beat them up in dark alleyways."<br /><br />And you let this pass your censers??? Ha, I love it. The only trouble is that it would just create sympathy for the Republicans and hence more Republicans. They would become as prolific as fire ants and kudzu are in the South, which, in the South, they already are.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-36966704932502325432014-12-21T14:01:45.254-05:002014-12-21T14:01:45.254-05:00I found it crazy-making to grow up in Mississippi ...I found it crazy-making to grow up in Mississippi where the Democrat party was the party of choice on the local conservative scene, yet was the liberal party on the national scene.<br /><br />What are all of those funny-looking rectangle in your title?
