The title of the page was "Matt's Pessimistic Hate Page" and it won the Worst of the Web Award. But I'm feeling much better now. Posted by holohan at 11:53 AM | Comments (4) « "Yummy Mummies" | Main | As 2005 approaches » The Big Whopping Christmas stockings Post in Which I Resort to Profanity and Demean the Wiggles! It's a stockings JOKE! Over at Slate last week, Josh Greenman introduced the idea of sarcasm punctuation. I think it's a great stockings idea¡ Seriously¡ No, okay, now I'm really serious -- it would definitely come in handy for those e-mail conversations where you want to make sure the other person knows you're being sarcastic without having to resort to using one of those "emoticons." But what about in actual, face-to-face conversation? There should be some kind of hand signal (other than the obvious) to let those unschooled in the subtleties of human interaction in on the fact that you are being facetious. In fact, that would have come in handy last night at dinner with the in-laws.
