Negative 10 score for that rant. It is just that, a cliche. Meant to be humorous. If you don't find it to be so, use your mouse to move on. I have never used it, but it is a damn good story if ever needed.

How many times did you proofread that to make sure you didn't mess up anything? EAT: I would have said "mess anything up", but I didn't want to split any infinitives or anything. |

See, the thing is, there are so many people in the world, and most of them don't stop by here. So the phrase continues to be of great efficacy among the general population. And if any of my acquaintances are ever questioned, they only have to say one thing . . . It's so much simpler this way.
eta: rant 2/10 cuz you forgot these: tag ibtl in on x etcetera and you failed to provide a statistical chart backing up your claim ( that would be the 'pics' part ) with actual analysis. Anybody can throw numbers around, but if you're going to say something like that, you should have some data to prove that you are right. |
