This spellz lolz? Funny.

The age of digital communication has bastardized and corrupted our use of written language to the point where "LOL" is probably more widely recognized than words like "ubiquitous".
It also makes us bad spellers, or at least, bad spell-checkers.  Especially those with fat fingers.
The computer tells us when we spell something wrong; the iphone goes a step further and corrects us automatically.  Unfortunately- or, in many cases, fortunately- the correction programming isn't without flaws, and sometimes hilarious 'errors' result in opportunity for the funny.

There are actually some very funny websites devoted to this sort of thing, which I'm sure those able to operate a computer are aware of.

But who ACTS upon those mistakes??

We do!

At least, that's the idea.  Our most recent endeavour went over something like this...

Kim: "Yay!  Gathering at my place!  Don't worry about beer or food or whatever- just bring your lovely sleeves."
Bob: "Done and done."

And so, with some hideous/lovely fabric, a little sewing, and some creative application, the catchphrase of the night became "Be your sleeve, guys, just be your sleeve."



Moral of this story: If you aren't your sleeve, who the hell are you?
