Not much of a feminist, but it was disturbing how much emphasis there was in the Avengers movie on Black Widow making all the men sandwiches.
Not much of a feminist, but not sure about the scene where it’s revealed it’s the Black Widow’s time of the month and she out-rages the Hulk.
Not much of a feminist, but I’m not sure about that scene in Avengers where the Black Widow is disabled by a math question.
Britain has elections? I thought they just had joust tournaments to pick a new king.
Going back to JavaScript and C#, Swift has convinced me that semicolons are annoying and unnecessary.
I mean in programming; in writing, I love semicolons!
Remember when forgetting a semicolon led to the most cryptic errors? Now IDE’s are like “You forgot a semicolon.”
But if the IDE’s know where semicolons should be, just proves they aren’t really necessary in the first place.
I think a good solution to the poll problems in the British election is to label all future polling with “For entertainment purposes only.”
My almost 2yo has started asking “Why?” when I tell him to do something. Hey, buddy, you don’t have enough a vocabulary for reasoning.
It’s like when I ask him a question and he pauses to think of the answer. How many file folders could he possibly have to search through?
He know like maybe 100 words. How inefficient would his search engine have to be to need to think about anything?
There a word yet for news sites that are “satirical” but no one ever links to them because they’re funny but only because they got duped?

I’m pretty sure we’ve had that word for a long time, it’s Slate.
“Colon or colon not. There is no semi.”

I’m a C & Perl guy; semicolons are freaking awesome; perhaps not strictly necessary for da compiler, but they help for human readability. On the rare occasions I get stuck doing python, I feel like I’m using a version of COBOL that didn’t pass 6th grade English.
Going back to JavaScript and C#….
See what?
I’m expecting Oppo to write something about Frank needing a semicolonoscopy.
That’s where they stick it to your semicolon and look for little pre-cantankerous software poll ups.
Okay, I’m done.
Blog, Frank.
Finally saw the Avengers movie. My view of the pathetic shrikes who complained about Widow is even dimmer than before, if possible.
Face it, we are all one comma away from total psycho.
“I like cooking, my family and my pets.”
“I like cooking my family and my pets.”
@5 Jimmy – – ya beat me to the pun-ctuation!
Oppo. However, I should amend my “software poll ups” to “software poll loops.”
Yeah, for once. But your status as #1 puntificator is unthreadened.
HokieGomer,
That’s right. Anyone who doesn’t use the Oxford comma is a psycho.
Is a semi-colonoscopy when you just do the prep (the not fun at home portion for those of you who haven’t had you innards scoped yet)?
No, really, is C# a thing or is our esteemed host pulling our legs?
Oh, Frank, get your doctor to use carbon dioxide for the inflation instead of air; you don’t wake up bloated.
Oops, sorry y’all. TMI. I thought I closed that window without hitting the submit button.

No. If you have a semi-colon after a procedure, then a semi-colonoscopy isn’t prep; it’s post.
Meanwhile: old news: I used to use colons too frequently: call it a spastic colon….
CCO:
JavaScript:Java::Active script:C#
@16 Capitalist _B:
Javascript is to Java as Active script is to C#, right?
Okay, Java is that hot new language of the 1990s that I ignored because I thought it was only good for drawing pictures and now is eschewed as a security hole and javascript came from it, right?
So, Active script is a sub-set of C#?
Thanks.
Am I the only one who read the first line seeing “men” as an adjective?
@18 Burt, maybe. And either way you interpret that it’s rotten.
