  If you've ever wondered what it's like to watch comedy as a concept die, I can assure you it's me sitting in a freezing room explaining to two angry government agents why "murder-boner" is an inherently more richly comedic pairing of words than "death-erection."
  
  
  this wins the internet for the day. i'm turning off my computer and going to bed, because nothing will beat this quote.

  i'll be damned, my kids school made techdirt.
  about two weeks ago my kindergartener got in trouble for precisely the same thing, sent to the in school detention room. I'm pissed, and pretty much have no avenue of doing anything about it, since the zero tolerance bullshit is mandated from much higher than local level.
  
  best i can do is go get thrown out of a school board meeting.

  Zos ( profile ), 04 Mar, 2014 @ 06:51am

  constantly, people ask me what the point of parody is, why satire is so important, other than generating endless lulz for the trollishly inclined.
  
  this is why. because occasionally one derp will herp so hard that we get to see things like this.

  Boing boing said it best a couple weeks ago-
  "scientists say trolls are vicious sadists"
  Trolls say "thank you, good sir".
  
  i don't think i'm a sadist, i can barely beat my wife as hard as she prefers, i just enjoy seeing stupid people dringing themselves to stroke over things people say to them on the interwebz.
  
  or herping deserving derps...if i don't make fun of anti vaxxers, creationists, lawyers and other scum...who will?

  "Protest via trolling with a little public shaming dashed in is what the internet is for."
  
  Is the best line of the day. perfectly spot on.

  Zos ( profile ), 21 Feb, 2014 @ 11:25am

  i've occasionally been down to using both those search terms, for something old or hard to find. (an epub copy of slaughterhouse 5 i just dug up for a friend today for example, no seeds anywhere).
  
  they'll usually get you there, though you'll need to disinfect afterwards, because the other 90% of the hits are of course cyberaids
