Starts with:

Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg.

Loving ‘Sort by Magic’ in Google Reader

Posted on 30/05/2010 by Iain

I’m such a sucker for quirky interesting ways of using language in applications. I’m sure there’s many good sensible reasons why this isn’t what you’re supposed to call a sort option. But you know exactly which option I’m going to choose. Every time.

This has probably been there for ages, but I only saw it for the first time just now.
