Answering PC questions for some people in IT, on the other hand, really does boggle me. It's not like we're a mainframe shop or do any work that's really far away from the platform of all our users--Windows. Lots of people stumble on the OS, Office, don't understand basic principles of websites or the Internet, and I've learnt there's an allowable difference between .NET developer and web developer.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Oh, wow, that's cruel. Only to dessert-seeking humans, and only to their psyche, but given that, dude.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have been on Apple OS for so long that having a Windows machine in the office is weird. I get flummoxed on weird things. Usually only once but it's strange because I think I just know PCs until I am stumped.
I did passive aggressively make someone else add a printer and change all my default print settings in the crazy Avimark program the other day though. But that was just because she refused to order toner (after over a month of asking) for the printer I did need and so I wanted her to be stressed and inconvenienced too. Petty but it made me feel better.

I deal with this by never wearing brown at all.

All shoes are black or silver. Occasionally gray. Easy peasy. But then that describes pretty much all of my clothing too. I think I have one green sweater.

The fire at Windsor Castle was 21 years ago. I disbelieve. Unfortunately, I failed the throw.

Grammaticians, do you agree that 'because' has a new part of speech role? Some commenters argue it's still the same old, others argue it's been a preposition long time. I am mostly dizzy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sadly, that first one is just a photo, so we still don't know what it says.
