Palinode: A raccoon!
Schmutzie: Really? That's cool.
Palinode: Hmm.
Palinode: You thought I saw a raccoon.
Schmutzie: Yes.
Palinode: There was no raccoon. I just said the word 'raccoon' and you came to your own conclusions.
Schmutzie: You're a jerk.
Palinode: I'm not a jerk. I was just using nouns.
Schmutzie: That would make a good t-shirt.
Palinode: And it would be true.
Schmutzie: You're still a jerk.

Now I really want to have this exact conversation with someone. Is that wrong?
P.S. - I would buy that shirt.
Hilarious!
(not the post mind you. i'm practicin' mah adjectives.)
Glockenspiel!
I'm such a bandwagon jumper.
sparkliesunshine - Yes. Yes it is.
/brandon\ - Clearly. (adverb practice)
'sir' - Glockenspiel? Where?
George Bush! .............
(wait, that isn't a noun, its an insult, my bad.)
Jerk is a noun, unless it's used within the context of a choke hold.
It's also an adjective, or at least a provocative portion of noun phrase, in the context of chicken.
"George W Bush" and "jerk" are both insults, and they even have a bit of equivalency.

I thought that Schmutzie totally got that you were just practicing nouns and thought that it was very cool.
You assumed that she thought that you saw a raccoon.
Because which is cooler? nouns or raccoons? I
Marinka - Not to throw cold water on your interpretation, but I had the advantage of being present for the conversation, and I can say with confidence that Schmutzie thought I was pointing out a raccoon. I kind of wish there had been a raccoon, because I like their faces, and the way big raccoons kind of lumber around.
