whats wrong with comic sans?

[Edited on May 29, 2009 at 9:16 AM. Reason : it is used when you want to get a point across using the words "pow" or "bam"]

Comic Sans is fine in that context, but people misuse it all the time.

Haha, awesome. I have heard much about this twilight business and haven't seen it or know much more about it than it's a movie for whiny goth kids, haha.

I guess that's a good thing. I'm well on my way to becoming one of those adults who is disconnected with pop culture and whose concerns are primarily in his health, finances, and a handful of special interests.

Programming the sexbots to enjoy sex seemed a sensible move at the time, but we didn't realize the consequences of their developing fetishes.

Cracked.com is another inexplicable browser narcotic. They could write a list of '17 worst haircuts in the Ottoman Empire' and I'd read through to the end, then click on all the links at the end.

They could say "the connection is probably lost," but it's more fun to do naive time-averaging to give you hope that if you wait around for 1,163 hours, it will finally finish.

If you don't have an extension cord I can get that too. Because we're friends! Right?



Hobby: seeing how many menu selections you can get someone to go through before they realize you're not an automated system and/or hang up.



You should talk to the girl down the hall; I think you'd like her. Lemme know if you find out why she's ordering all those colored plastic balls.

My biology grad student friends tell me that different types of alcohol don't actually have different effects. I trust their expertise, not because of the 'biology' part, but because of the 'grad student'.

The second to last frame of that makes me think of the gif with obama and hillary in the rapper kind of car, and it makes it the cartoon that much funnier.

You can do a lot better than 1% if you start keeping track of the patterns in what numbers people pick.

I'm teaching every 8-year old relative to say this, and every 14-year old to do the same with Toy Story. Also, Pokemon hit the US over a decade ago and kids born after Aladdin came out will turn 18 next year.
