The difference between, “Helping your Uncle Jack, off his horse.” And, “Helping your Uncle, jack-off his horse.”

 Comma after the word, “between”, to introduce first quote;
 Capitalisation to beginning of first quote (Helping);
 Capitlisation to beginning of second sentence (And)*;
 Comma after the word, “And” , to introduce second quote;
 Capitlisation of second quote (Helping);
 Capitlisation of Uncle in second quote;
 Comma in second quote after Uncle;
 Hypenate two word adjective, “jack-off”;
 Full stop after horse in second quote.

With the exception of the last point that is all entirely wrong. The text is not a narrative presentation of a conversation or piece of dialogue. The comma in your first correction dissociates itself from the following text which renders the sentence nonsensical. Second point is wrong because it is not dialogue. Third point is wrong for the same reason as the first (but if it were correct (which it isn't) it would possibly necessitate a second paragraph. Fourth see first. Fifth see second. Sixth see dictionary - uncle is used here to indicate familial relationship and not as a proper noun and as such requires no capitalisation. Seventh point - why would you be using a comma to separate the two parts of this sentence? You don't 'go to the fridge, to help yourself to a beer'. (Notice the full stop outside of the inverted commas - this is because I am not relating dialogue.) Eighth would only be in the case of calling someone a jack-off. As mentioned prior, the ninth is debatable because this isn't a narrative form the period can be considered as optional though is most other instances it would be required (but in any case it could be placed outside of the quotes).

Had dinner at World restaurant at Southbank on Wednesday night. They have a bit of an Oktoberfest thing going on and we enjoyed a huge starter platter of German sausage served up with mustards, sauerkraut and potato skins followed by wild boar for main. They had a good little selection of German beers on offer too, including Erdinger Weizen and Dunkel, Schoffer Hefe and Kristal and a few others.

Very Enjoyable!

I had the wild boar there a few weeks ago and found it really ordinary. But I've never had boar before, maybe it was good and just not my thing.

For me their beer list is very impressive by restaurant standards but, uh, I like ales and even then not wheaties...what is there for me to drink? White Rabbit Dark Ale for $9? No thank you.

I love sellers on ebay whose item doesnt sell. doesnt even get 1 bid, esp those that dont even sell for $0.99. you shoot them a PM saying youll buy it off them (for a substantially cheaper price than normal but more than the $0 no bids/sale they just had) and they demand top dollar. relist it and pay the fees then.

The thing I find funny about that picture isn't the fact that she's fat as a house, but the bitch is huge man, I mean, she'd have to be 8ft at least, cover it in hair and we got ourselves a sasquatch

Just received this from my ISP. Looks like they're starting to get a little tougher on this stuf. Sounds menacing but probably not.

Ahhhh...looks good... after reading a little bit it looks like utorrent might be the culprit. Doesnt seem as secure as others. What are you using for p2p?

I run Ubuntu, so use the default BitTorrent client, Transmission. It includes inbuilt blocklist functionality.

The uTorrent program itself is not the culprit, it's the ability for any client connecting to the torrent server to be able to see the entire list of IP addresses using that particular torrent seed. This is an inherent risk in the bittorrent protocol. Blocklists simply maintain a list of known addresses that your computer refuses to "acknowledge". Without the acknowledgement, most IP tracing tools won't be able to find out enough information to be able to track down your ISP.

If you're that out of date you might want to look up tubgirl as well.

Or you might not. Most normal people fall into the might not camp.

Tubgirl is of the same period as goatse (it is orange juice concentrate, btw, not poo) - I've just never seen the goatse video. It has filled a gaping, raw hole in my being.
