errata

As is my (obsessive) practice, I was googling my name, when, lo and behold, I discovered that I had somehow gotten a livejournal. And learned Russian. Just for the record, this fellow is not the real bbot.

Speaking of amusing google results, I discovered that a significant phrase from a previous post was a weak googlewhack. Clicking through, I was led to this, which is unattributed, completely without links, and connected to a domain that has nothing to do with nuclear robots. How did google manage to index it in the first place?

I feel kinda bad starting a new entry just for two things, so I'll add some random zings that I've written over the last week, but couldn't shoehorn into any other posts.
  • For the most damning indictment of Trackmania Nations Forever United yet, look no farther than Greg Dean's glowing praise.
  • I was watching Family Guy earlier, and they zinged The Mask for overusing "Smokin!" Really? Family guy mocking The Mask for driving a joke into the ground is kind of like Bush the Second calling Obama a Nazi appeaser.
  • ALTERNATE PUNCHLINE: is hypocrisy on such a stunning scale that it wraps around and becomes mildly funny. Only mildly, of course, since this is still Family Guy; which is constitutionally prohibited from cracking a decent joke.
  • How is babby formed (Flash version!) is old news by now, but Did You Know that searching for "babby" brings up all sorts of freshly depressing questions? It's true! Unfortunately.
