The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don't want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.

I'm still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I'm a gringo, I shouldn't have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

I was talking with a guy at work the other day about this. Apparently he and I are both guilty of trying to exit insert mode and run vim commands in windows notepad.

I can't even count the amount of times I've sent some variation of "Yeah, so I think we should reboot the server:wq" into irc

Funny you should mention IRC as that's how I met that coworker in the first place. I miss the good old days of IRC. Freenode was a blast back in the day.

IRC is still around! I run my own server and everything. It's still a blast :)
