it seems like he didnt have much of a life to be posting 30+ times a day.
also yes, yellow cake is a type of cake. at least, in this demographic. its probably got some fancier name in the actual culinary world, but here in a little town in connecticut, anything too complicated turns the crowds off your bakery skills. its too fancy for them, you see.

I find it amusing when people (including myself) marvel at wonderful technology and then change their tone completely when it fails their expectations. I'm thinking, of course:

"Ah, personal computers! What incredible feats of engineering and technological mastery, I—What the fuck?! Fuck you, Firefox! Computerz are teh suck! >=|"

I love good snark. From the New York Times:

Quote
But perhaps I am, as many suggested to me, just another liberal dupe. Perhaps I even fell for the pretense that Johnson lives in the modest home where I visited him, which bore none of the trappings his supposed sellout would suggest. The U.P.S. man who delivered packages to his door while I was there, and his truck, may have been hired for the day just to snow me; the decidedly un-Mata-Hari-like woman he introduced to me as his fiancée, who brought us water and fruit as we talked in his small home office, may have been a member of the Trilateral Commission. It would be just like a representative of the Mainstream Media to get caught believing his eyes like that.

Link.

My alias. I have such great fun with it.

Also, ISBNs. There was the switch not that long ago (as in within the last 6 years) which sparked my interest. The history of them, how they are constructed, and the information they contain is all quite fascinating. They're sometimes like little numbery-riddles.

I have a wee touch of dyslexia or something similar. It doesn't to my knowledge interfere with my ability to learn, but I do occasionally goof sequences. So, just now, I read the news headline "Man killed in altercation with son, police say" as "Man killed with alliteration, police say."

What a world that would be...

Shameless clichés that are too bad to surely be true. Particularly in police procedurals.

Or perhaps just CSI.

WAAAAH


Fortunately Red Dwarf gave them a good what-for:

It was amusing while it lasted! You're still not using exclamation points, I see!

I heard you like amusement, so we put some amusement in your amusement so you can be amused while you be amused.

(I really hope that was justified.)
