Wafers, wine and everything.

Why don't you undo it by getting a buddie and a camcorder and filming a porno at the same location?

Keep in mind that every porno that's filmed there after the priest attended is going to have to be re-blessed by Larry Flynt.

Can we get a woman too? B/c I don't think any of my buddies would be up for that, NTTAWWT if they were.

I don't want to. You're just more fun when you're not stale. I have high expectations.

The entire spelling-bee industry has just been brought to its knees.

Stage parents of good English students everywhere are mourning. Let's just reflect on the utter meaninglessness of their lives from now on, shall we?

This is also why a sentence consisting of mostly lowercase letters is easier to read than one in all uppercase --- the shape of the word in lowercase type is distinct and unique,

BUT ALL UPPERCASE WORDS ARE ALMOST PERFECTLY SQUARE AND MEANING MUST BE DERIVED FROM THE INDIVIDUAL LETTERS, NOT THE SHAPE, SLOWING THE RATE OF READING COMPREHENSION.

This is why legislatures that call for vitally important contractual and waiver language to be placed in all caps, as opposed to bold, italic, or colored ink, are fundamentally misinformed about typography and visual perception.

(Pet peeve.)

I'm not sure why this is being touted as new research. They were teaching, in speed-reading courses years ago, this very concept. There were speed-scanning readers that projected lines of text at varying speeds, and they would demonstrate that comprehension would remain steady even as they jumbled the words, like they are jumbled above. (They were trying to show students that you recognize groups of words, and groups of letters, not merely letters.)

If you think your little ruse is gonna end my forever documenting your life in pictures, you can forget it. I am nto one of the Bagels. And I am still trying to find pics of your sidekick bc I have a story to tell.

Oh, and your work since the scinitllating mano a mano with Thurgreed has not been so scinitllating. Glass kayaks and all that.

R(must stop editing posts, maybe I'll go wash my hands)P

If it were as easy as medication, there wouldn't be so much of it going around. What you'll have to do is behavior modification. Have someone tie your hands, or handcuff you to your desk/chair and then purposely put random typos into your posts. See how long you will struggle against the bindings before you acquiesce. Over time you'll find that you'll be able to post with typos/misinformation and jsut let it go.

And, just when I thought we wouldnt have one, I present you with today's Bilmore of the Day.

Off of a totally useless PJ post too. Nice work. Could not have been easy.

No ruse. I just think you do better work when you're stretching for something new. You can still document my life in pictures - just, vary the theme or something. Geeze, even the Bagels challenge me sometimes.

Sorry, maybe I should post unpostable pictures. Because those were awesome.
