    I intentionally misspelled Richard Pryor’s name, as a joke response to him saying George Carling instead of George Carlin.

    Wanted to make sure the joke didn’t die in case he saw the mistake and edited it. 😂

      Thanks for the response (and follow-ups). I’m embarrassed to admit I was so distracted by the quote that I entirely missed your misspelling, even though I noticed the other one!

      Naw you nailed the joke but markko has a good point as well. I wouldve quoted after the ellipses, personally, but my internettiquette is still very much a product of my play-by-post RPG forum days.

      However, you do you man, and I hope you have a good day!

        Lol I don’t disagree, but I’m lazy and on Boost it’s easier to just quote-reply the whole comment instead of editing it down.

        Have a splendid day yourself!
