I have noticed three times lately on www pages that people have written "And more's the pity" about something, and I keep wondering how you can write something like that without feeling like a mega-asshole immediately. I totally keep picturing these people trying to slip that into conversation all the time in real life too, you just know they are. Like they'll be discussing some book with someone and they'll go "he hasn't written a book lately. More's the pity" and then the other person will look at them funny or maybe laugh at them, or if it's someone else with a www site who knows, maybe they'll be impressed and say something like "Alas yes. Perchance next season". Anyhow, that's really all I have to say about that, I have no point.
Oh that reminds me, I actually saw another phrase on two www sites in the last day (I've been going nuts reading all this tech crap and it often leads to weird discussion boards), which goes: "Sex is not the answer. Sex is the question, and the answer is yes". I love how something that used to be a stupid slogan that you'd get on a polyester t-shirt at a stall in the middle of a mall has now become something people write under their name on discussion boards and think is funny. I wish I could add a thing to their signatures that tells them that when someone says "Sex?" to them, they actually are probably asking which sex they are, not making an offer.
Okay, one more thing, when I make my movie, the stoner-jock dude is going to address everyone by doing "whatup, butt slut?". I made up that phrase the other day, and man it rolls off the tongue nicely. (update: I just looked it up on a search engine, and it turns out I wasn't the first person to come up with that phrase, although I think I'm the first non-pornographer, which counts for something right?)
