Apparently someone decided to be Deeply Hurt And Offended by Things Bogans Like. My favourite part is where they accuse "obtuse" of being an <q>unnecessarily large</q> word on the same page as a straight-faced use of "Machiavellian". Noi-ii-ii-ice one ma-aa-aa-ate. - Alis Dee

A "bogan" -- for those of you Not From Around Here -- is the Australian version of a redneck. Sort of. - Alis Dee

<q>There are countless pundits and other tech gurus describing Google Wave as a disappointment, lately. Most of that seems to come from the fact that nobody seems to get what Wave is for. So they compare it to social media.</q> - Alis Dee

<q>In the self-twitpic, McCain has failed to completely disguise the fact that she has breasts. Her “tens of thousands of followers” retaliate for her public femaleness by loosing a torrent of abuse, a Public Shaming Action consistent with the Global Accords Governing Fair Use of Women.</q> - Alis Dee

<q>Needless to say, Canadians frown on companies who get into bed with American right-wing religious wack-a-loons.</q> - Alis Dee

Dancing the milonga (sort of like tango) to "Billie Jean". So. Awesome. - Alis Dee

Did I mention I think I love other people's sketch posts even more than finished art? Because I kinda sorta think I do... - Alis Dee

Now to try and use "kalokagathia" in a sentence this week... - Alis Dee

<q>Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, "Good gosh, look how smart I am."</q> - Alis Dee

<q>Sam Bee fights for private death panels, John Oliver believes in universal death panels, and Aasif Mandvi wants whatever scares the public most.</q> - Alis Dee

<q>People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K.</q> Poor Hawking. Forever doomed to be mistaken for American just because his voice synthesiser has the wrong bloody accent. - Alis Dee

Asclepius: Not the same as caduceus. Not. Even. Close. - Alis Dee

<q>[E]ven more dangerous than friending your parents on facebook? [F]riending a) your boss and b) the cubicle-mate you kinda can’t stand.</q> - Alis Dee

<q>Let me get this "straight", heterosexual men are no longer barbarians and gay men can't be counted on to conform to strict stereotypes</q>. - Alis Dee

<q>"We are working harder. The financial crisis is not making it easy for them over there," said Banjo, 24, speaking about Americans, whose trust he has won and whose money he has fleeced, via his Dell laptop. "They don't have money. And the money they don't have, we want."</q> Scammin' ain't easy? - Alis Dee

So... apparently in Nigeria they write gangsta rap about 419 email scamming. Or perhaps not, but either way, I guess it beats pimpin'. - Alis Dee

This is so EXACTLY how it would've gone down. Foa srs. - Alis Dee

<q>I like being racist.</q> - Alis Dee

<q>It is, in short, a movement made up of the enfranchised and enabled; people who have gained every benefit from the politics of America and yet who feel in their very bones that they are the oppressed ones, the ones who have nothing left to lose, so rapidly is America falling away from them. It is rare to run across any movement so deeply angry -- or more to the point, a movement which explicitly celebrates anger as the primary mission of their activism.</q> - Alis Dee

Places I'm Glad I Do Not Live In... - Alis Dee

<q>Really, as with all good wanks, there is no right side. A man was a dick to another man who is also a dick, and it got put on the internet. Needless to say, once a critical mass of dicks has been reached, fapping ensues.</q> - Alis Dee

That's... and interesting iPhone application. Pretty useful, really. - Alis Dee

SecondLifeSecret! How did I not know this existed? THINK OF THE LULZ, PEOPLE! THINK OF THE LULZ! - Alis Dee

It's very remiss that I haven't posted a link to this site before. - Alis Dee

<q>Avoiding masturbation and homosexual activities are among preventive measures one could take against Influenza A (H1N1), according to an eminent practitioner of complimentary therapy.</q> - Alis Dee

People who get paranoid about link shorteners need to get either, a) better browser, or b) better OSes, IMO. - Alis Dee

It wouldn't be a MotI without some luco_millian art! - Alis Dee
