Press firmly to seal

Wherein the USPS takes its own ‘press firmly’ printed unstruction VERY seriously… “Neither rain nor sleet nor accidentally wedged packages shall stay these couriers from their appointed rounds.”

I need to work this into conversations more often

What you’ve just said… is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore is simple compared to this

The Chaos

Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
    I will teach you in my verse
    Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.

I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
    Tear in eye, your dress you’ll tear;
    Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.

Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
    Just compare heart, hear and heard,
    Dies and diet, lord and word.

~ Gerard Nolst Trenité (1870-1946) from, The Chaos – Wikipedia

SAS, 5.25″ Floppy, Lasers and Sh*t

IMG_0923Once upon a time…

Hey, so we have this really dry book about SAS. We need something punchy for the cover art… I know! We’ll put some uber-tech on the front… like a 5.25″ floppy! Those are cutting edge, we’ll be using them forever.

Yeah, but can we have, like sharks, with frickin’ laser beams on their heads or something… ?

We can’t get sharks…

Ok, just make like a frickin’ laser coming out of the floppy…. zowee! These will fly off the shelves!

Wait. What?

25 year old tech on the cover; I think I can get rid of this book now.
