If it’s good enough for the professor, it’s good enough for me.

1. Go into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

Ancient history, back when I lazily refused to use capital letters.

the mortality rate for this syndrome is sometimes estimated at 33%, so i managed to eke on by.

Depressing. Excepting the blockquote, that would be sentence number five.

It’s too bad the real archives were lost thanks to MT. We could rally around my early blogging stupidity and list-making.

23rd? Hell, five more hurricanes might get me there, but those poor bastards in Port Lavaca are gonna get hammered before that happens.

Don’t feel so bad. I couldn’t spell for shit when I started.

So, who did the “no capitol letters” thing first, you or skippy? And are you saying that skippy is lazy for not using them? ;)

Aw, baby hamsters. I have hamster stories I could tell.

And capital letters? I genuinely hated looking for the shift key. When I started blogging I was a horrible typist. Plus it looks like skippy and I started blogging about the same time (I was at blogspot before I was here).
