This has been a Public Service Announcement from the Orange Juice Blog! 
Interesting……”if you follow me there’s a speciality………”
So it occurred to me that so much context is mis-understood on the blogs.
As an example, capitalization changes the meaning of a simple phrase:
“I helped my Uncle Jack of a horse”
VS.
“I helped my uncle jack off a horse”
Clearly I have lost my mind, but thats how you know THIS is the real Ken Lay, not the imposter!!
Come inside come inside!
I have no trouble believing you jerk off horses ken.
And a fun time was had by all!
What? ya got to sit on Dean Chems lab:0) lol
Why is it that people who write “lol” the most seem to have the saddest lives?
ROTFLMAO!!
No, I really was laughing thinking about you getting your jollies on, sitting on old Dean Chems LAP!
And really, YOU know that ALL people who use lol have the saddest lives. Wow, you sure do know it all?????
FYI…Last night I was at the OLD SHIP eating the best Steak and Kidney pie, dancing, and drinking lots and lots of nice cold beer, what a sh** life. lol
Life of the mind, then.
And what a wonderful mind it is, and I am happy to have it!
The eyes are the windows to your mind, try opening them!
I don’t know what Greg was referring to with “life of the mind,” but I couldn’t help but picture the scene from the Coen brothers’ masterpiece “Barton Fink” with psycho killer John Goodman running down the hotel hall with his shotgun bellowing “I’LL SHOW YOU A LIFE OF THE MIND!!!!!!!!”
Your version is better than what I was actually thinking of. I was thinking of MQ’s previous comments. “lol”

Loved the Brahms, Maestro! I felt like I was there, too.
