Either Joel Zumaya Is Magical, Or The Detroit News Features Poor Sentence Structure
Saturday, November 03, 2007
I don't care how silly some bloggers are getting over Zumaya's most recent injury - none have gone so far as to suggest that he messed up his shoulder while floating on the Internet. That's just craziness, Detroit News. Craziness.
That said - Joel Zumaya: if you do indeed know how to "float on the Internet" - whatever that may entail - you are obligated to impart your wisdom on the world.
*Yeah, this sentence featured a pretty blatant misuse of colons** and dashes. I did it to piss off Chris McCoskey.
**Typing "a pretty blatant misuse of colons" made me giggle.

"floating on the internet" = "surfing the internet". He obviously injured his shoulder by over-zealously jerking off.
Wasnt it Carlos Zambrano who contributed one of his injuries to internet usage lol.
"blatant misuse of colons"
Ugh.. that reminds me; I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist on Monday.
Float on the net, sting like a blog.
Well being from the Detroit area I know of this man Mccosky. I normally respect what he says. But he is off base with these comments. I mean you can go to school for 100 years learning all there is to learn about hyperbole and double entendres and still be a moron.
Oh and just for your info (in case you didn't know) Zumaya hurt his shoulder when a box fell on it while he was moving stuff during the fires that happened in California. It was a freak accident. He was trying to do good thing and it's very possible that his career is over. Or severely hampered at least.
"blatant misuse of colons"
There's an expression I hope to never see again.
