| "Stop Abusing Me!" - The Word "Literally"I just saw a commercial in which a woman says to the camera matter-of-factly, "So I go on vehix.com, and you can literally take a test drive." No, ma'am, you can't. Unless going to the website somehow teleports you into the driver's seat of the car you're researching, I'm afraid that you're a damn liar. What you mean is, you can watch a video of someone driving the car, which would make it a virtual test drive. In fact, the very next person in the commercial contradicts you, saying, "It's a virtual test drive."
So, lady-who-misuses-the-word-"literally," I will not go to vehix.com and virtually take a test drive. In fact, I want to beat you over the head, literally. (No really, I mean it. I want to hit you in the face with a dictionary. Feel the power of words!) |

| It's Ironic, ReallyCoffee has such a rich, aromatic scent, but it somehow leaves your mouth smelling like balls afterwards. |

Eric I was asked last night why I don't have an ambigram of my own name. I couldn't think of a particularly good reason, so I got on my tablet and doodled this up. Meh, curves are tricky. |

| Never Gonna Give You UpI just rick rolled my cousin by phone, and it was glorious. I called him up, told him to hold on a sec, then held the phone up to my speakers as Rick Astley played. He was not amused:
"Oh my god...you are so gay. I fucking hate you, dude." I'll sleep well tonight. |
