HOW DARE U IMPLY THAT I MIGHT BE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forget about that stuff. Let me tell you about the Illuminati …
Excellent! Should be a prerequisite for blog owners and participants as well.
The use of all caps and multiple exclamation marks — seems to me it’s the online equivalent of having your forearm grabbed by some wild-eyed nut at a bar with really bad breath who won’t let you go until he tells you all about his crackpot theory.
A funny thing is, though, that those cheesy fundraising letters (e.g., some that I’ve received from the Council of Canadians) often employ similar techniques — lots of bold, all caps, underlining, italics and repetition of same. And yet I’ve heard political pros persuasively argue that, as cheesy and head-smacking as those fundraising letters are, they’re actually effective at raising money. It’s like they’re not designed to be “read” in the conventional sense of the word.
Hey Doc, would you rather the deranged nut actually grab your forearm?
Seems to me a perfect way for nuts to discharge their anger by using caps and exclamation points.
We can’t get arr knikkers in a knot jus’ cuz of some KAPITALIZASHUN!
Ahh, I feel better. PajamasMedia be durned!
Ja, ja, ja… this strange thing called “etiquette” – Food is presented to the diner on his/her left, wine is passed to the left but the glass is filled, unlike the plate, from the right, finger-bowls are brought in on dessert plates, Port is brought to the table at the same time as cheese and/or dessert, and your estranged spouse sneaks into the kitchen through the backdoor and pisses on the grilled carp fillets.
All this is very formal, except the latter.
I trust everyone with WK on the L of C side of things washed their hands after clicking on a Pajamas Media article.
I’m still wondering WTF happened to WTC-7.
So, you read the article.
