Overheard at the Sangria Lover House

News Anchor: Coming up: A new video game version of Beer Pong — would you let your kids play it? (Anchor’s tone implies that the only acceptable answer to her question is “Absolutely not!”)

Tim: So there’s a problem with Beer Pong, but Grand Theft Auto is okay?

    Exactly what I would have (of) said.
    I never know what context to ^ use..Can you help me out grammar God?

    I totally agree with Tim.

    Heather, I know Sangria can probably explain it better than me, but it would be “have.”

    It’s the past-perfect tense of the verb “to say.” Past-perfect just means you use the past participle of the verb (in this case, “said”) and add a “have” in front of it to imply that though the action is in the past, it might still be going on.

    I’ll cut out the geekiness, now. (Sangria, did I get it right??)

    Hmm… I hardly ever play Beer Pong with MY parents.

    If you ever take these fear whoring news topics seriously, you’d be a paranoid fool.
    kinda like

    **woman raped, rapist on the loose, find out if he’s in your backyard, at news 4 at 10pm**

    You stay up until 10pm in fear, come to find out this happened in Afghanistan, whole ‘nother continent.

    But I see Tim’s point tho.
