The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Ok...I will grant that Slashdot, on occasion...remains hysterical beyond belief. The comment exchange in the beginning there is just comedy gold.

Now...to buy more Del Rey manga at the quicky two-day TRSI sale, or to not buy more manga at the quicky two-day sale...

Hornet's nest: *buzzes*
Me: *poke*

I can't leave well-enough alone. Life's more fun this way. ^_^

Dear People Who Have One or More of My Email Addresses:

Please don't send me stupid forwards. Please. If you do, ensure, at the very least, that I'm the only person in the To: line, because otherwise my snarky smackdown, completely with Snopes links, will go to everyone you sent this stupid fucking email to.

Bill Gates will not send you money. Intel will not send you money. Random Company X will not send you money, or shoes, or designer handbags, or anything else if you forward this email on to eleventybillion of your closest friends.

Engage your brain for a second...if you sent a letter on to one thousand people, is Microsoft going to send you money? Is Forbes going to send you money? Is anybody going to send you money for being enough of a chump to send out a thousand letters? No, no they're not, and if you managed to graduate to feeding yourself, you should have the mental capacity to comprehend this. So, I feel I must ask the question - why would adding computers to the equation make it any more likely that somebody is going to send you cash?

Note that it does not matter WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE!!! If you are my best friend, my husband, my mother or mother-in-law, a casual aquaintance, my grandfather, a fluffy bunny, or the most fragile flower in the known universe - YOU AND EVERYONE YOU SENT THAT DAMN EMAIL TO WILL RECIEVE MY SNARKY SMACKDOWN AS REPAYMENT FOR WASTING MY DAMN TIME AND TAKING UP PRECIOUS BANDWIDTH! I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO SPARE FOR INANE STUPIDITY!

And so, in conclusion, *STAB*
