Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IE IQ story a hoax. Still doesn't mean I'm not brighter than alla oonu.

IE IQ story a hoax.

Oh, good. It sounded ridiculous, not least because there are plenty of intelligent people required to use IE for corporate security reasons.

I use IE because, really, I couldn't care less.

That story did sound kinda bogus. If it had been than people who use IE are hated by more web developers than people who use other browsers, then I'd find it more believable.

It's the internet! How can you not care? It's supremely important!

Also, none of you reminded me to wear makeup today. Thanks for nothing, boyos.

Because books.

That's why you need mascara and a lipstick in your bag at all times, lady. ::nods::

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yes, I think TWOP over-manages, but you certainly don't get crazy troll shit over there. I had to leave the Lost threads permanently when the crazy mod decided that there should not be any negativity and closed the "things I don't like about 'Lost'" thread. WTF?

I like the show, I watched every episode, but I have a right to complain about it too. And the posters in the thread were magnificent. Incredibly funny, catty as hell, and on point.

I consider some of the allowed posts in the SPN threads trolling. They'd be trolling here. They're not reality-based, and they're for the purpose of riling up the like-minded and the disagreeing. Not discussion. But, apparently, the mod agrees with them, so it's all good.

The web doesn't behave as well in IE. I spend a lot of time on the web. I want it to behave as nicely as possible.

That's why you need mascara and a lipstick in your bag at all times

I do always have lipstick, I just rarely wear it. I did remember and put on mascara and groom my brows before I left the house, and put on lipstick at the stop light. I wonder if it's so little makeup no one notices, or it's so much on my usually unmade up face that it totally stands out.

Hmmph. I couldn't find my other dragonfly necklace this morning. So my necklace doesn't match my shoes. I'm kind of sad about that.
