No thanks, I'm busy being a maverick. A non-rogue maverick.

Too many people with bad highlights have ruined it for me.

Do I have to wear pants? Is that what that means?

Does it involve leather? Sign me up.

You may be confused with going commando.

I'm thinking of going rogue.

I think a subtler foundation suits your complexion better.

I'd love to go rogue if it means running amok.

posted by redvixen 26 October | 13:37

I prefer running free.

I'm so rogue, I moved to North Korea, with a beach house in Iran.

I went Rogue but all I got was this lousy amulet.

The single best thing about the Iron Maiden concerts this summer was they didn't play that piece of crap.

Otherwise, informing you all in advance of my intent vis-a-vis roguish designs would be rather self-defeating, don't you think?

I'm busy managing going commando, right now. I'll go rouge later if that's okay?

I took a course in Swamp Management in college, so I am well qualified to run a muck.

I would, but I have Rice Krispie treats to make in the shape of pumpkins and jello salad. Maybe next time.

posted by LoriFLA 26 October | 14:50

Pumpkins I can see, but what shape is jello salad, really?

posted by Wolfdog 26 October | 14:55

It's called rogue grammar.

posted by LoriFLA 26 October | 15:03

I'm thinking of going Gambit myself.

Language Log on the subject: "It's interesting — but not surprising — that (some) political operatives think of their candidates in the way that others think of robots, animals, elves, and death-squad members: useful but dangerous creatures whose initiative needs to be carefully restrained by programming, training, or magical spells."

Can I be a robot elf?

posted by Specklet 26 October | 16:24

You can be a robot elf rogue.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

What? You can't have a rogue without "grue". Anyway, I'm gonna go grue - who's with me?

I was actually thinking of going bleen.

posted by Daniel Charms 26 October | 16:29

Can i have orple? Are we picking army colors or just plain risk?

posted by ethylene 26 October | 16:33

I'll have to prorogue this.

posted by stilicho 26 October | 19:20

I'm already packed, Sticky. Where's the rendezvous?

posted by deborah 27 October | 14:01

Entire planets can go rogue.

If you have to *consider* this (I'm thinking of going rogue) then you're probably not very rogue. . .the first rule of going rogue is to not consider it.
