    Tell you what, Twitter: maybe I'll "grow my presence" if you grow your command of transitive verbs.

    Well, at least we can all agree there's no impossibly complex issue that can't be solved by yelling at strangers in very short paragraphs.

    Last tip:

    If your Pearl compiler is returning "null," doublecheck your registry's INI programs.

    You may have an expired demo of Assembler.

    "Messages quit unexpectedly".

    Mm. No, it didn't.

    I can assure you it quit more expectedly than any piece of Apple software I've ever used.

    Are hardworking Americans most fed up with cynical false dichotomies, canny non sequiturs, or obvious trick questions?

    EXACTLY.

    BREAKING: Messy withdrawal presses up-and-comer (and former head of handhelds) into gobbling up top RIM job.

    Which is definitely not funny.

    D: It's literally raw.
    U: Gimme.
    D: OK.

    They just put up a new Fuddruckers next to the old Otis Spunkmeyer.

    It's nice, but it's no P. Cockington Cumfelcher's.

    I LOVE their wings.

    Google is the middle-aged doofus—dying to feel alive.

    Google+ is the vapid tart on whom he'll blow it all.

    On the other hand, "what doesn't kill us" may not really have been trying all that hard, so maybe don't get too cocky about your "strength."

    Many see profanity as vulgar, uncreative, and beneath them.

    So, it's lucky they've left it to the fucking pros who can rock that shit hard.
