Hyperbole and a Half

I really have nothing of value to contribute to the world today so I thought I’d share two older things that I was recently introduced to.

BEWARE THE GOOSE. Seriously. I knew exactly where this was going from the first sentence since I’ve always had a healthy respect for geese. See, when my mom was a child she had a run in with a bunch of them and this is a story that has been retold many times. Short version: when you are a teeny tiny kid and a goose in the park wants your fries, you give them to it. I don’t mean one or two, by the way. I mean drop it and run as fast as your tiny legs can carry you. Goose bites freakin’ hurt… so I’m told. Still hilarious when it’s not you :)

However, my absolute favourite post is the one that first introduced me to the site. Thank you, Troy! I’m one of those people who, at minimum, internally cringes every time I see ‘alot’. It causes JENNRAGE™ to come out and often ends in tears. Yes, this does imply that I cry a lot. See? Not hard to hit that spacebar. Though this brilliant post explains why some cannot manage this simple task. Further on my list of cringetastic things involve people who type ‘your’ instead of ‘you are’. I know it appears in my comments and in twitter replies frequently but I promise I do not actually hold it against you since I’m happy you are reading and commenting in the first place! <3

I want an ALOT.
