Day: The Thirteenth

[metalphoenix]

I just don't know what to say. C is a useless letter.

Song of the day: Skissor Sisters - I Kan't Deside The title seemed appropriate.

Random fakt of the day: It takes 3,000 kows to provide the leather for one year's supply of NFL footballs. Poor kows.

C is for Cookie

[anyos_athenos]

Ami, we have already discussed this, but I need to lay it out for the record.
First, if in no other way, C is at least made useful by its own existence. To say C is useless you had to use the letter C. It is a self-fulfilling entity.
Second, skissors is a sucky transliteration.
Third, if you were going to get rid of letters, it would be much more efficient to get rid of K and S. How about U? U is evil. And come on, half the language is nonsensical letter combinations.
Forth, the letter C has a long and glorious history.
Fifth, if there was no letter C the person who wrote the above Wikipedia entry would have no reason left to live.
Sixth, Cookie Monster's life also would be meaningless.
Seventh, you had to edit this post 5 times to fix C usage.
Eight, it’s just a pain to ditch C now, and let’s face it - English-speakers are lazy about this sort of thing. I mean come on, metric anyone?

Metric is used everywhere else in the world except in the US. One of the mars probes failed because you people refuse to use a sensible, base-10 system, as opposed to something arbitrarily defined by the Roman Empire back in time immemorial. Please. 12 inches in a foot, three feet in a yard? Where does that make any kind of ease in calculations. It doesn't increment, it doesn't divide well, and it sucks ass for any kind of calculation. Don't even get me started on Fahrenheit.

The metric system (or the S.I. system, which is a name that further proves America's willful isolationism from the International community by their bull-headed stubbornnesses) is in all ways superior.

And I agree C should exist.

Hey, I'm totally with you on the metric system. But I just can't get on board with the letter C.

I say unto you, Bah. ^_^

Today is zombie invasion day! There's so much to write about!

[bitter_crimson]

SERIOUSLY. This entry disappointed me. D= But that's okay, 'cause I think Ami died fairly early yesterday morning, anyway.

[metalphoenix]

I HAVE FAILED THE KIM :(

[bitter_crimson]

IT'S OKAY I UNDERSTAND IT'S 30 IN 30, I DON'T EXPECT 30 DAYS OF ACTUAL ENTERTAINMENT ;)

(Like when I used to make all those millions of T.U.S. posts. SO I DON'T BLAME YOU.)

KOMPRESSOR APPROVE THIS ENTRY

It had to be done.

[metalphoenix]

Kompressor may approve it, but the Kim does not. Alas.

Judging from the comments on my entries, you're not doing a good job staying on track with your school work. ;-)

Also, it amuses me that you originally used the letter C in this post and then had to change it. You ish crazy.

Footballs are made out of leather? I thought they were, like, rubber or something. I'm confused as to why if it's made out of leather, people say they're throwing the "pigskin."

[metalphoenix]

Whoopsies, I forgot to respond to this.

C is the lamest!

I guess? I have no idea why it's called pigskin. Let's find out! Apparently the first footballs used pigskins. I guess that makes sense.

There is no c in my name. There's a c in my brother's middle name though. And a c in my cat's name. And his nickname. And in my brother's cat's nickname. I dunno. *is tired from all of energy going to digest food*

People and names are weird. People go to footballs games for the band and guard.
