Every day is a holida at Girls are Pretty. Well, sort of.
But don't "Write Impassioned Letters Confessing Your Blind, Paralyzing Love For People Just To Put The Feelers Out There Day!" and "Go Buy a Shitload of Donuts Day!" just sound like so much more fun than say...planting a tree for Arbor Day?
Yeah. I thought so.

Hey! You misspelled....oh. You were referring to me.

This is hilarious. Thanks for the great link. I personally would run out of holiday ideas after a week.

ok, for all of you who are confused, let's take a trip inside mlang's brain...

*appropriate sound effect (doodle eee doooo doooo; doodle eee dooo doooo)*

damn, that new cog sci ta is hot! and much more age-appropriate (for me) than all these nineteen-year-olds running around campus. so, how can i get my mac on?

*appropriate sound effect (zzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrpppppp!)*

sorry; wrong part of mlang's brain. let's try again...

*repeat 'doodle eee doooo' sound effect*

ooooh! a post by su; bet it's a cool link... OH MY FUCKING GOD! a typo! su made a typo! one of the top dog mefi grammar cops screwed up! i can't wait to snark. let me just load this comment page...

*musical interlude (medley of songs from singin' in the rain)*

damn! can't snark. she beat me to it with her clever rebuke: 'oh, shut up [you obsessive grammar nazis who want to correct my typo]. oh well, guess i'll just click on the link. hmmm... 'girls are pretty'... well, that new cog sci ta is pretty, that's for sure...

I was thinking this was the followup to http://www.dooce.com , but this is too cruel and bitter for even HH.

No. Just wondering about the various parts of mlang's brain.

My bad, Patric & Su. :) And Patric, I always thought you were Patrick-ing instead of Patric King. Haha.

This thread is like a city where you don't speak the language.

glory be; the funk's on me. su is a boy.

all these years i've been picturing a sort of grandmotherly librarian type (no offense, jessamyn, many of my best friends are librarians too) presiding over the metafilter code of conduct with an iron fist. and now i find out she's a hot young male graphic designer. what a shock to my worldview.
posted by mlang at 3:50 PM on July 12, 2002

not a shock to my worldview: 'grandfatherly' is in the spell checker, but 'grandmotherly' is not. if i had a hammer... i'd SMASH patriarchy.
