Lock Jaw: Distressful Quietness

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Halfway through May, tralloo, trallay! We're also halfway through this week, and so you should make sure you've done your civic duty and play this week's quizly offering. Remember that the quiz contains the recommended daily allowance of nine vitamins and iron¹, is not a source of greenhouse gases², is tax deductible and charitable³, and will cure what ails you⁴. So get out there and play, because if you don't, you might die⁵.

Go! Play! Take Quiz!

¹ This only works if you print the quiz out, shred it, and mix it in with your Corn Flakes.
² Ok, that's only partly true. I farted three times while writing this reminder. Greenhouse gases smell like eggses!
³ The tax of zero is still zero, so I guess that works. And they say that laughter is a gift, and we're giving it, so that's charitable, because we do it for free.
⁴ They also say that laughter is the best medicine. That means it cures what ails you. Unless you have swine flu; then you're buggered.
⁵ Even if you do play, you're going to die; we can't help that. Maybe it'll put it off for a bit.
⁶ Profit!

chairtable

That's an awesome typo. I may never look at that word the same way again.

Your link to the actual quiz seems to be bollixed. Perhaps it was the gas attacks.

Looks like a spare " at the end.

nothing but criticisms today, sheesh! Where's the love?

...and cuddly animal?

[jechocochan.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking a chairtable is something like a spork. Or a coffee table. They're so short you could use them as a chair anyway.

Charity will never be the same.

Mmmm, tastes like hypertextfail!

Fixed now. Cheeky.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

...spellfail.

Although you're right, it is much more awesome the wrong way. Go figure.

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

No shit. We haven't had a cute animal in a while. I think maybe....

*looks around furtively*

...Hans has gone soft.

[rachelkachel]

Mine was love! Loving criticism.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Yeah, today my typing was made of LOOOOOOOSER. All problems solved now. Mostly.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Soft in the belly, that's for damn sure. Those cuddly animals go right to my tubby gut. And yet, still so tasty. NOM NOM NOM.

[thepikey.livejournal.com]

And methane producing.

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

..butt I only wanted to help!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Sorry, not you cheeky. Cheeky typos are cheeky. My cheeky hypertextfail is cheeky.

Well, ok, you're probably cheeky too, but in a different way. ;-)

14 + 14 = 28, not 31. Fail.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Math is hard! Also, close enough for government work. I bet some people read this post halway through the 15th, so for them it was ok.

[its-what-we-are.livejournal.com]

Where is 6? (You're making my brain hurt and that shouldn't happen when we're supposed to be having fun, dammit!)

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. That too. ;-)

[fireshaper87.livejournal.com]

underpants gnomes reference fail.

Mmmmm...corn flakes

I sort this post into the file marked "CV trying to show he is cool by referencing Discworld".

Ever since CV failed to acknowledge the superb character that is the Librarian, I have noticed an ever-increasing number of suspicious Discworld related comments.
The first one was the Hogfather question, last week, it was a +1 to a Discworld reference, now foot-noting like T.P. Where will the madness end?!

=D I am very pleased that CV is making an effort to embrace all of our quizling-nerd-culture!

[demon-666.livejournal.com]

Also, I forgot to ask, what is the #6 footnote regarding? =D

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

BZZZZZZT! Wrong answer! I had no idea that Torrence Pritchett used footnotes. Then again, it's not like he has the copyright on footnoting. Every once in a while I like footnoting stupid stuff.

Maybe one day I'll get around to reading some Discworld stuff. But, in the words of t-shirt slogans everywhere, "Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking too good either."

;-)

Ah-hah! My failure to recognize DW is matched by your missing out on a bastion of insanity known as South Park. Nerd Culture takes many strange and divergent paths...

No offense, of course; no person can encompass all of nerd-dom in one single brain. I have to make do with what my brain has provided. ;-)

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I prefer Frosted Flakes myself. Why have boring old corn flakes when they could all be covered in SUGAR? The answer is obvious.

[demon-666.livejournal.com]

NO, I mean, you actually forgot to put the little 6 for a footnote before you footnoted about it...

In any case, I blame any lack of SP knowledge on my part to do with the fact that I spent most of my teenage years under a rock (my mother). I wasn't allowed to watch such interesting shows.
And now as a mother of a young, impressionable boy, I have to watch SP in secret, (I don't get much time to do that!) because if he hears the theme music, he comes a runnin'... I don't need a wannabe Cartman on my hands... I'd prefer a Kyle, but without a Cartman-esque friend. Seriously.

[demon-666.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am just picking on you!
I figured you were just footnoting because footnoting is awesome and everyone should do it everyday without using it for writing stupid essays or things of that "ilk".
As for Terry Pratchett's use of footnoting, he is the one and only "Best User of Footnoting in This or Any Other Universe". Voted by me (and other Pterry fans worldwide, we won't hear otherwise!).
So, you know, you learn something new every day.

Yes, I learnt long ago that today is always someone else's day. I don't ever hold hope for tomorrow¹.


¹Yes, regardless if it is Mother's Day or even my birthday - someone always hogs the limelight, especially my other-half's gran who is still hanging on (at 95) to steal all the glory. I was born on my brother's birthday and as he has a disability, he is the one fussed over. Last year, my sister conveniently scheduled her wedding two weeks after my birthday, so my birthday was forgotten by my family during the preparations. This year her first anniversary will probably take up the time of thought. She just had her first baby (the day before Mother's Day), so she is the "new hotness" and Christmas will be all about her kid's first Christmas. So I and my kid will be chopped liver and forgotten! I don't expect anything any more. My childhood crushed all such thoughts of grandiosity. >:(

Oh, also, the SP "profit" thing, doesn't have that many (actually any) steps in between step one and step three!
=D They are such slackers...
