Stygian Syzygy: Keypresses saved.

Stygian Syzygy: Lol
hair boner victorious: yay autocorrect

My proof [that Jesus was the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster] was as follows:
All ... uhh... noodly appendages are as His Noodly Appendage. Thus, most of us are fathered by FSM.

Last best hope for punching out God says:
...
well, the men, anyway

Oolon Colluphid says:
well, those born of intercourse..
as the noodly appendage implanting the seed was that of the FSM

Last best hope for punching out God says:
ah, i see

let's never have sex again

Husband and I are watching the second IBM Challenge episode of Jeopardy. In a category on proverbs, Watson arrived at the correct question "what are tools" from the answer "It's a poor workman who blames these", with a high level of confidence in the response. We were amused and bemused, though, by his second-choice answer, way down in the red: "Yogi Berra".

Quoth the me, "It's a poor workman who blames Yogi Berra, too!"

eta: Second choice on "A broken one of these is right twice a day" (correct response of "clock", again, with high confidence) was "nails." Um.

battle cry of some dude in the Dragon Age game enotsola is playing: No quarter shall be given!

me [affecting his voice]: Only dimes and nickels!

enotsola: [laughs]

me: They're going to nickel and dime us to death. ...'Cause no quarter shall be given!

enotsola: ...

me: I'm going to run now.

enotsola: Yeah, you better run.


(Ah, good. Makes me wish for the Elder Days of having conversations, or should I call them competitions, with rialian and shishain, pretty much entirely composed of such remarks...)

eta:

enotsola [speaking aloud to an enemy onscreen]: You, sir, are goin' down! ... Oh, so you're going to stun me first? Well, two can play that game. I, too, am quite stunning!

enotsola: Dude, I can wear leather?
arethinn: Ooh baby, you sure can.
enotsola: [something about leather armor in the free MMO he's playing]
arethinn: Ah, and you thought you were a clothie?
enotsola: [explains theory that tripping level 10 might have changed something, so priests in this were apparently more D&D style than WoW style, had previously been selling unusable leather bits to another player, etc]
arethinn: Did I use the word "clothie" correctly in a sentence?
enotsola: *thumbs up* It makes me happy.
arethinn: That's not going to get me far on the SAT.

* I have no idea what modern SAT scoring is like. I got 1460 out of 1600, ummm, 16 or 17 years ago.

Um. I think someone has a well-developed sense of irony.

Item the first: "What a jerk, that Hitler! Never brings me any pineapple."


Item the second: I was looking through a name/location listing of members on a website just now, and some clever soul put their location in Oregon as "hell". I know there's a Hell, Michigan, but I doubted there was a Hell, Oregon. So I plugged "hell, or" into Google Maps, and got this loltastic suggestion:



Geez, Google. Whaddaya got against New Brunswick?

However, ex-pat enotsola comments, "Having been to Moncton, I gotta say..."

("Nova Scotia's dumb 'cause it's the name of a bank; New Brunswick doesn't have a good mall...")

"Periodontitis is no picnic. Unless you're a bacteria, I suppose."
