You Know The Rules.

However, not all internet memes and phrases are annoying. Rather than fill my blog page and obscure the other posts, I actually found a pretty comprehensive list that sums up my feelings here.

I'm a genius sometimes.

The Sound of Musak

Blogs are back in business! An earlier post of mine observed the slow, sad decline of the other blogs I read: from Francis's "doomed from the start" fiasco to Matt's "SUPER-DUPER-DETAILED" leviathan, blogs seemed to be fading left and right.

But thanks to my silver tongue (see: nagging), the blogs have started up again, albeit in difference forms. Matt has started an all new account, whilst also joining forces with fellow music enthusiast Cohen for a weird hybrid that combines music reviews with other such gibbets. Both on them are alright, but no match for the true King of Blogs.

Enjoy all three!

Gee Golly Jeepers!

My god, I hate the word (or phrase) "awesomesauce". Seriously, it's just ridiculous. Who thought it would be smart to just bung two unrelated words together as some sort of quirky mutant that was then used to describe everything and anything remotely decent.

Come to think of it, I dislike a lot of stupid speech things that now seem to be prevalent in normal conversation (some which I myself am guilty of, to my disgust). For example:

Any lolcat phrases or deliberately shuffled sentences: "I can haz cheezberger?"

Adding an 's' on random words (I am desperately trying to cut down on this): "Send me the musiks please!"

Adding 'ness' on the end of complimentary words: "awesomeness", "coolness"...

There are probably others I can't think of, and I'm by no means the victim in this: I'm ashamed to say that I often do the latter two Conversation Crimes. But I'd like to think that that's because I'm inundated by it, so it merely rubs off on me. Like the goosefat Andy lathers himself with.

Still, it's bloody annoying.
