Spelling people

I forgot about the same idiots that want to successfully launch a rap career. H***y please you are not M&M. I had one idiot try to give me a hard time once at work. I told him to get a job. He said "I got a job I am a Rapper." I laughed loud and hard right in his face.

Not to be a grammar Nazi (actually that is exactly what I am doing), but it is Eminem, not M&M. Eminem (often styled "EMINƎM") is the stage name for the rapper named Marshall Mathers. An M&M is a chocolate candy. If you were, in fact, referring to the candy then the sentence should read "... please, you are not an M&M." (notice the added comma as well)

had to get my jab in as well

You knew who I was referring to. I also do that as an insult to the idiot Marshall Mathers.

Since we're on the topic of grammer, i have been reading some build threads and noticed something that is often overlooked. when typing/writing quantities and sizes together, the best way to write this is if you use words for quantities and numbers for sizes. For example:
I unbolted the four 1/2 in bolts.
I unbolted the 4 1/2in bolts.

the first sentence says a quantity of four and a size of one half while the latter can be seen as a size of four and one half.

Another notation is:
I unbolted the four(4) 1/2in bolts

its not necessary but it helps with clarification. Just throwing it out there.

IIRC, the proper thing to do with numbers less than 10 in a sentence would be to spell them out rather than type them using the number itself i.e. one instead of 1, two instead of 2, three instead of 3...

....from the guy who has the wrong "too" in his sig (and no comma or apostorphe)....

Your sig says (God knows why): "DUDE THATS WAY TO MUCH SOUR CREAM"...it should read: "DUDE, THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH SOUR CREAM".

...oh yeah:

well if you would have been at allens shop before SAR you would understand, but nooo you were to busy
