    Neil's not the only entity out there that talks in the 3rd person. It's not about grammar AT ALL. It's about all the other blokes who do so. 3rd person speech is a layer of separtaion between commoner and something more.

    Neil's been doing this since forever & good luck on thinking you can get him to change.
    All the Best,

    HMMMMMM...and what was your answer on the thread BG linked up. You know...the "is this a morph".

    It's exactly the reason this thread got BG all bent out of his perfect bod. When people read "did I get ripped off"....everyone assumes the worst. Freaky had a very good point.

    And your opinion on the "is this a morph" was?

    Big Gunns is spotting a trend.

    You do need better photos.

    But I agree with other people.

    You approached this the wrong way.

    I hope you feel more comfortable with your purchase now.

    "other people"...you mean Big Gunns girl.

    Does BG need to point it out again. He hardly thinks it's a coincidence. Then again...you did say "maybe". That's better than "no it's a normal".

    Now to BG please refrain from refering to yourself in the third person..... wish there asanignore button on here.
    You'll miss all the fun if you do that. It's impossible to ignore Big Gunns since it's all everyone will talk about. You'll be totally outta the loop.

    Would someone point Joe in the right direction so he can sleep at night. You'll regret it though....BG 100% guarantees that also.

    snakesRkewl laughs at BG's post, and gains from their incite, and because he isn't like every other fool out there, snakesRkewl also respects him for his "diversity".

    Conformity = BORING
    Another Big Gunns fan.

    Quote Originally Posted by lmartelli77 View Post

    OP...I also believe you have a yellow belly and did not get "ripped off".

    And another... Big Gunns head is starting to grow. Wait....it's not humanly possible for it to get any bigger. How could BG forget...he's not human...grow head grow.

    "Sanskrit" Considering where Big Gunns just got back from, he just might start doing that.

    If you can't put an "I" where Big Gunns is and read what BG prints, you seriously need some more schooling my friend....well....gonna be friend...in TIME.

    On a side note for all you people that would rather post about how annoying BG is... maybe you should start a thread. You could call it "I would rather complain about Big Gunns then answer the OP's question". Then when you feel the need you could just go to that thread and whine.

    SHHHHHHH. Big Gunns loves the complaints.......shhhhhh. What would he do without them?

    They can't resist Patty. You can't blame them though. Some people have a better eye for GREATNESS than others.

    Well...you're not entirely right Deb. If you ever speak with this Neil guy, he won't give you the third person. HMMMMM...at a reptile show maybe, but only if you know Big Gunns. Neil doesn't want everyone to think he's INSANE!!!!!

While you've only unleashed a minor grammarchaos, your posts make those of us whose mothers are English teachers cringe.

    ("Major grammarchaos" is defined as a sentence that defies all understanding, and you're admittedly not at that level.)
    You may be on to something here. Big Gunns momma is from England, and she was always correcting Baby Gunns for not using "the Queens English" in his youth. Maybe this is Big Gunns rebelling against his momma.

    It's "Leeetle Minions". This particular group of people were blind followers of another mouth we all know and love. They are hard to find nowadays, but when one does pop up, Big Gunns makes sure he addresses them with their proper name.

    Ok, fair enough. Far be it from me to deny a man his anti-motherly-scolding rebellion; proceed with your grammarchaos, my good man.

    As to the other poster who asked why someone would buy an expensive animal w/o understanding the genetics, I'd imagine the answer goes something like this: They have no plans to breed, but they like it because it's pretty, and they have more money than the average person, quite possibly by several orders of magnitude.
