But part twooo is here! *Throws confetti* Some of you didn't choose where you wanted to go, I'll just choose for you, so no one has to wait any longer. Mock and Nate can go hang out at the pool because only two people wanted to go there and the pool gets lonely.

Outside at the pool, Halen and Steve find Emily sprawled on a lawn chair.
Steve: And then she started hitting me repeatedly with a fish- Halen: OH MY GOSH, EMILY!? Emily: ... Steve: Great googly moogly! What happened to her? Halen: I have no idea! NFM: *Walks up* Torahvision: *Walks up behind her* What's going on? Halen: It's Emily! NFM: Psshhh naw, she's just reading. Steve: *smacks Emily with a rubber chicken* Nope. I think she's gone. NFM: Oh my gosh. Halen: That's what I said!
FIVE SECONDS OF EVERYONE PANICKING LATER
Torahvision: OK GUYS. Calm down. We have some clues, and whoever did this is somewhere in the building. Steve: CALM DOWN? NEVER *Runs around frantically and falls into the pool* Torahvision: ... NFM: Should we help him?... Torahvision: Naw. NFM: *Shrugs* Ok. Halen: You were saying? Torahvision: We have a clue. Halen: What is it? Torahvision: This. A band-aid and the lid to a pen.

What? Someone hit me over the head with a fish? I don't remember that.
And yes folks, I am known to smack people with rubber chickens. Be warned.
Hmm, a pen lid and a bandaid. Hm. TeaLeaf has a pen, but a bandaid?
I dunno if I'll ever be able to get out of the pool, so I'll just stay there.
Why dost thou doubt the Queue of Em? That well of knowledge and lightning everlasting? Thou shouldst pay heed to the Queue of Em more closely, lest the blade of thy mind become dulled through refusal to believe what is told to you.
In other words -- even if you speak without grammar, grammar still affects the way people interpret what you say.
The conversation went, and I quote:
Person A: "I think ten days in the slammer would build some character."
Person B: "I like the way this guy thinks!"
Person C: "I'd like to see you try."
Based solely on context, because you didn't specifically mention who you were talking about, you could have been interpreted as having said you'd like to see Person B try to like the way 'this guy' (Person A) thinks. If you had said I'd like to see him try then you would have more clearly been referring to Person A.
Thus, my comment of "Wow. I'd ALSO like to see him try liking the way that guy thinks. It would be cool to see him actually do it!" serves to generate humor by taking what you said simply at face value rather than correcting the mistake.
But that's besides the point. The point is that not speaking grammatically is metaphysically impossible. Grammar is a constant law of linguistics and its rules completely determine how any given string of words will be interpreted by listeners.
