Write one leaf about sushi.
In general, I do not like sushi.
In particular, I do not actually like sushi.
In essence, not actually fond of sushi.
Then again, sushi.

How many times can I nominate Porky’s before they finally add it to the registry?

redcloud replied to your photo: Honestly. How many times do I have to answer this…
There’s supposed to be a style sheet for Stylish that gets rid of that. Stylish works with Firefox and Chrome, for sure. I tried using the stylesheet alone on Safari, but failed.
Yeah. Well. I’m on Safari. And also? I shouldn’t have to use a damn plug-in to turn off the damn tumblr message hack.

Cocaine? Srsly. I take high doses of Vitamin E and it helps (haven’t had scripts in almost 2 years and I haven’t slept all fucking day either) but I’m a dude, so your results may vary. I can’t believe I just called myself a dude.
Dude.
Hmmm… I just might be willing to try your crazy vitamin E. After the cocaine, of course.
People! I...

1. Written and published an entire book about dogs from the point of view of a dog. (Also written and published an entire book about cats, but that one is currently out of print, though you can still get it used, and I’m working on getting the rights back so I can actually sell it to people who still want it.)

The reason "Fan Mail" is confusing some people...
…that they called it “Fan Mail” instead of just “Mail” or “Messaging” or “Another Thing You Don’t Want or Need that We Spent a Lot of Time on So We’re Going to Talk About How Awesome it Is As If We’re Steve Balmer Talking About Windows 7.”

Dear Cutlerish / Safe Dash / De-Animate
If Missing-e / Safe Dash had an option to block only animated gifs in the same way the regular Safe Dash blocks all the photos it would single-handedly make the internet worth visiting again.
Though of course just this option would probably make tumblr mad because nobody would ever visit tumblr without endless moronic gifs of kitties and movie clips (including dialog set in Impact!) so they would...

If you can get enough people to vote for Newt, then your daughter can get a barrista job and make espresso for *everyone*.
My adult friends with children have barrista jobs. I’d hate for her to take their jobs.

Pooper scooper people do it for you for 7-8 bucks a week (that’s for two dogs.) IT IS MAGICAL.

OMG I USE MISSING E AND I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE POSTING REPLIES THING UNTIL YOU SAID SOMETHING. I AM SO DUMB. THANKS, TERRY.
No problem.
(Again. Posted with the assistance of missing e because you have no idea how hard Tumblr makes you work for your pudding.)

You know what?
I stopped using missing e for awhile because for five or six minutes it seemed kind of buggy with some of the Tumblr updates and whatall.
And you know what else? It seemed even buggier and a bigger pain in the ass without missing e.
So you know what further else?
Suckit, Tumblr. Stop being such a bunch of babies.
