Holy crap! There are remains of the version of this blog that used to be here two years ago floating about the net! And it's not completely awful—mostly because there were more puns then than there are now, including:
- A proposed replacement of "coitus interruptus" with "aposiopenis"—and this predates unfogged becoming cock joke central;
- A proposed study of a certain kind of hairstyle to be called Die Afroliche Wissenschaft;
- A tortuously set-up joke about engineering and Aristotle, culminating in The Nickelcadmium Ethics
Overall, though, in the beginning there were lots of longish posts where I was obviously trying, earnestly, to be all s-m-r-t, the best of which was probably about Yoshida Kenko (that is: the one I'm thinking of was definitely about him, and it was probably the best), with occasionaly tryings to be funny intermingled (eg, a proof that Jesus is Santa Claus).

Just [edited to read: venture into a dark woods at the midpoint of your life, and slaughter a goat]. It's all there, including what I understand to be the very first print appearances of the "yo mamma so shaggy" joke, and the Sandalist treatment of the "opposite of a hat" question.

Hey, fuck you, SB.

You made the aposio[johnson] joke twice in the same month, Ben. Was it a rough September for the hydraulics in yonder Netherlands? I'm wondering whether there wasn't a third victim of the couch-jumping disaster. Two broken digits and a non-rigid widget.

I did? Well, it's best not to make too much of such things.

Please delete the comment, if it's out of line.

I beg your forgiveness. May I please be unfucked?

Yeah, sure. I didn't really mind that much, and had assumed that either people would figure out how to get there themselves or that someone would say how—but you did invite revision.

I don't follow the bit about inviting revision. I was responding to your "fuck you" comment, not your edit.
