Neighbors
I stapled the Canadians
To their side of the border
But they wouldn't stay put
nor follow our order
Perhaps because
I used my library's stapler
At any rate, I'm sure
Vermont syrup's mapler.
Canadians are mean
But at least they don't stink
Like some other furriners
And dog breath, and mink
But they're so damned
"Nice" and also cute, it
Seems they're just too
Darned Canadian aboot it
Frost said, "Good fences
make good neighbors"
He didn't know about Canadians
Nor their evil labors
A Berliner might tell you,
"Eventually it will fall,"
But China's got the ticket
With their big, honkin' wall

Two from Great Write Way, context be damned:
erikaj :
If the world ends, will somebody come take my dictation?
connie neil:
Nearly every job I've gotten can be traced back to a Secretarial Typing course I took in high school. IBM Selectrics, those honking big beasts. First day of class, first instructions. "Turn on the machines". Big whirr of fans. "Hit the Return button." The guy sitting behind me does, and the carriage return flies off the machine onto the floor. He stares at it, then looks at the teacher.
"I should just drop this class now, right?"
Gus in Natter expressing one of the constant problems with posting on an articulate board:
OK, five attempts spell "Mediterranean", followed by a really long look at "synchronicities" in a suspicious manner makes me think it is time to toddle off.
in Angel:
Cindy: Screw you WB, and your little frog, too.
P. M. Marcontell, in the Minearverse:
I'm a 12 year old boy. With tits.
Teppy: Announcement: I find the "Announcement/Analysis" format strange and off-putting.
Analysis: I am perhaps a crankypants today. Send coffee and pastry.
In Minearverse, ita sez, regarding fanboys who like girls who like comics:
I'm so over the "chick on my (stereotypically masculine) turf! Hawt!" thing.
So tommyrot responds with:
So chicks aren't impressed when I think it's hot that they can vote?
In Movies:
Aimee (has just seen The Ring and is scared of her TV):
I'm scared that creepy fucking child is going to crawl out of it.
Frankenbuddha:
Creepy little girl only comes with Comcast, from what I've heard. So if you don't have Comcast, you should be safe.
If you have Comcast, you're fucked anyway, so the the creepy little girl is sort a relief.
Consuela:
I have Comcast, but I'm NGA. Do I need to upgrade?

billytea:
Sure, mock my pain. Or just record it and mock it later.
