I’m sorry! I meant to direct this to my usual commenters, but I guess I didn’t specify. Anyway, I laughed my ass off when I read this…especially the P.S.
Oh good lord, please don’t feel bad. That plaintive cry was the most awesome thing to pass through my dashboard all day. I laughed out loud.
Just trying to shoot a little fun your way.
WTF tumblr?
sydvish:
I can’t believe none of you gave a shit about my CVS post.
It’s not that I didn’t give one, it’s that I gave so many I didn’t know what to do with them all. It was the single greatest CVS post of all time.
I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me. It was better than Cats.

P.S. My favorite part was when she...

– Jack Kerouac, from On The Road (via affremblequotes)
Well, I’ll be. I didn’t know that quote was from Jack Kerouac. I am shamed.
Update: My shame may be lifted. It seems that perhaps it’s not Jack Kerouac, but often misattributed to him.

My favorite thing about all this Microsoft and Yahoo! hoopla is that the trademark makes Microsoft sound so gosh darned excited!

Most of the people who see this site use Firefox, and thus see a hideous border around the Flickr photos to the right.
