Is "random non sequitur" an oxymoron?

[pikachumustdie]

Probably.

Yay for awesome widgets!!

13 days until Halloween! More yay!!!

For the sole reason that I had nothing better to do, I took a geek test. I got 74.75345% geek, making me a Geek God.

The weather is finally turning rainy. I'm *so* happy!!

*rereads post*

Ok, this post was pretty short and lame. I'll post something longer...

That is an awesome widget. Alas, I am equipped with a mere G3 iMac running OSX 10.2.8. I might have to break down and purchase the new OS -- what cat are they up to now, Smilodon or something isn't it? -- just so I can use this widget.

What I really want is a 17-inch PowerBook. Perchance to dream....

I beg to differ, but "rainy" does not equate with "happy." Moving from Oregon (rainy) to Hawaii (uh... less rainy) = "happier."

What'cha gonna be for Halloween? You're lucky, you can still get away with dressing up and going Trick or Treating. Yay, sugar!!

I believe "random non-sequitur" qualifies as a redundancy rather than an oxymoron.

Okay, this reply to your short, lame post was rather lengthy, but equally as lame. Sorry. Nice to see you again, however; it's been a number of days, and I realize I've missed your whimsy... and lameness.

A Smilodon OS would be awesome ("awesome" now replacing "cool" as my most overused word)! Interestingly (and randomly) enough, while I was looking up Smilodon to see if I was pronouncing it right (I wasn't), I saw the etymology--
New Latin, from Greek smile woodcarving knife + New Latin odon

which led me to wonder about the etymology of "smile" as in turning the corners of one's mouth up. Unfortunately, "smile" is ultimately from Sanskrit smayate. 'Twould've been interesting if it *was* from smile meaning woodcarving knife, I think.

"Rainy" does equate with "happy" when have been in Southern California (hot and dry) for your whole life.

I'm going to be myself for Halloween. I scare people already so I may as well practice. Yay sugar indeed! Or at least yay for most sugar, Pixy Stix® are the epitome of evil.

Sorry about random non sequitur, momentary lapse of reason.

The etymology is quite interesting. Perhaps further research is in order. To me it seems logical that a bright, shiny knife with a curved blade might equate with a smile. Hmmm....

Pixy Stix® are definitely a wickedly nasty invention.

How did you do the "®" thing, by the way? In my abysmal ignorance of all things PC, I have no clue on Earth as to performing this seemingly simple function. I "cut-and-pasted" this one from your comment. Perhaps the procedure is more self-evident on the mac. I shall have to return using the mac more often. It's actually my platform of choice anyway.

I noticed you edited the "oxymoron" thing -- thereby rendering the gist of my previous post redundant, thank you oh-so-much!

[pikachumustdie]

Especially if you're carving a pumpkin. Carving a smile on a person is kinda...messy.

I'm not sure how to get ® on a PC, but on Macs you get it by pressing [option]+R. The [option] key also creates a lot more interesting symbols like ˙ ∂ ß µ ∑ ¥ π å ≈ ç √ Ω ∞ ¢ ¡ ª º “ ‘ µ ∆ ˚ ¬ † - ≠ ± Ó „ Á ˜ ˆ Ø   „ Œ ‰ stopping now.

I changed the "oxymoron" thing back. Your post is now no longer redundant.

re: "oxymoron thing." Awww, you're so sweet!

re: "®." Yes, I thought the [alt] key would do the trick on the PC, but no such luck. Nor does [ctrl] or [little flag thingie], or any of these in combination with [shift] have any effect. Any desirable effect, that is.

I hate PCs.
