And then Pearl Harbor. Let that be a lesson to those footdragging patriots.

Jon Carroll sucks

Not every s looks like an f. Just the first one - it's a German thing.

/Just waiting for the "You know who else..." comments to roll in

Thif if nonfenfe.

What, what was this even about? Was this a blog or something? Seemed like the ramblings of an old man over nothing.

THIS !

This sucked like nothing has sucked before. Really. WTF was the purpose of this submission?

I want my 2 mins back subby

I submitted this with a funnier headline.

Only, it was a completely different article about something totally different that people would have actually liked to read and comment on.

Is there some reference regarding f/s that we need explained to us?

What the hell did I just waste my time on? If ever there was an example of rambling, this is it.

"Not everybody signed the Declaration on July 4. Some patriots said, 'I'm going to have my people kick this around, and I'll get back to you.' Only they said it with all their s's looking like f's."

Except there's only one 's' in that line... lol

"Yeah, and 'Congress' is spelled with an f! What is that, 'congrfths'?"

-Crow

tl;dr version, please

I cant make heads or tails of this ramble.

forestwalker: Is there some reference regarding f/s that we need explained to us?

When I was at school, we had to translate something from Latin, but nobody told me the Latin s's looked like f's I spent an hour looking up a word (that didn't exist) in several dictionaries. Then it dawned on me that it was an S.

/wasn't even for a latin class
//latin wasn't even a pre-req

jsavage: DRTFA

Thanks for the advice. I won't go near it.

tl;dr

"... and the Purfuit of Happineff"

Thread over.

hogans: /Just waiting for the "You know who else..." comments to roll in

Bismarck?

This thread is useless without something to actually talk about...

"... and among these are Life, Liberty, and the Purfuit of Happineff?"
"That's 'Pursuit of Happiness'"
"Well, all your S's look like F's"
"It's a style thing. It's in, it's very in."

Old Stan Freberg routine. Can't read the Declaration of Independence the same way anymore.

The article was complaining about the seeming random way holidays are placed on the calender, especially Valentine's Day. Which in no ways explains why subby thought this would be interesting to read.

/btw, Valentine's Day was chosen by the Hallmark company for the whole romance thing because Saint Valentine was a martyr who married young Roman couples in the newly formed Christian faith and was executed by the Romans authorities for it.

Mmm, pie.



It's too bad I live alone and can't bake for the life of me, otherwise I might want to make one of those.

Uh yeah, anyone need one of these?

July 4? Meh.

Continental Congress declared independence on July 2, folks. John Adams wrote to his wife the next day saying that July 2 should be celebrated forever. The whole Declaration thing on July 4 was just a nice write-up of stuff.

Oh, and New Jersey's provincial legislature finalized a new constitution for it on July 2, as well.

/Used to live in the town where the NJ folks signed theirs.
//July 4 people are perpetually late slacking types.

Any pie filling preferences? I must say I am a toast person myself, I eat tons of it.

I may get some now I think and play Devil May Cry 4...

/Read the article, felt compelled to, not sure if I actually feel better for it.

ExJerseyGirl:

Finally, something we can all discuss.

Ahem, toast is clearly superior to pie in every way. You couldn't be more wrong and are probably of an opposite socio/political/religious group than I am and are, therefore, retarded. Kindly die in a fire.

/now we're getting somewhere

I haven't had toaƒt in weekƒ. I ƒomehow got fed up with it... I gueƒƒ it'ƒ juƒt the winter funk.
I don't even think I have any peanut butter in the pantry anymore!

The best pie I ever had was a homemade wild blueberry pie. But apple is a fav too.

Pies have to be homemade, store bought ones don't cut it.

Well, that is just so wrong, I am going to have to ask you please consider eating a bowl of something not very pleasant.

Something juſt occurred to me:

I haven't had either toaſt or pie in months!

It alſo took me forever to find the HTML code for that damn ſ thingy.

/ſ

Bah! It's not necessarily just the firſt Eſs that's long, it's long in most circumſtances in which it appears anywhere other than the end of a word. At the end of words, or for the ſecond of two Eſses, the 'terminal' Eſs is used.

In German, ſs evolved into its own letter, ß.

I ate kimchi once.

Does that count?

this seems to be a whine about valentine's day. can't we gets articles that are more interesting? perhaps, something by ric romero

Jane, you ignorant slut. Since it has been proven over and over again in subjective tests that I will not give you the results from that show that pie is indeed superior to toast, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to hire some goons to beat the snot out of you. Please just sit where you are for the next ten minutes.

The link (now) goes to a lame blog about Valentine's Day - or did it always and I missed something?

Anyway, he goes on to say: Easter is the worst. We never know when Easter is coming.

Friend, Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

Toast can go into salads, along with bits of bacon.

And with bacon on your side, you cannot go wrong.

/Bacon, coupled with toast, FTW.

slightly improved headline....


"Not everybody signed the Declaration on July 4. Some patriots said,
'I'm going to have my people think on this until we've sucked every possible interpretation out of it.' Only they said it with all their s's looking like f's."

Swede: Toast can go into salads, along with bits of bacon.

/Bacon, coupled with toast, FTW.

Ah, yes, bacon is truly superior to both toast and pie, and will greatly improve a salad or baked potato. To truly appreciate, however, you must wrap it around steak.

Hang on, let me get the goons on the phone. If your doorbell rings, just don't answer it. It's not a candygram.

/damn, now I'm all hungry

I'll be right back somebody's at the door...

Not ALL their S's. Juft the ones in the middle of a word, the ones at the end were normal.

dbirchall: July 4? Meh

June 28th, 1776. Link (new window)

Carolina Day is our Independence Day. My favorite part of the story is how British Admiral Peter Parker (no relation to Spider-Man, kids) had his pants shot off...
