I think I speak for a lot of people born in and around 1970 when I say, “Wow, when we were young, we sure had a lot of Ricky Schroder rammed down our throats.”


Speaking of things that are overrammed, Today’s Winner is the man who caused my computer to rudely greet me with the following message (in the Microsoft Word document containing all contents of the blog you see before you, to date):


ERROR: There are too many spelling and grammatical errors in this document to continue displaying them.


How can this happen after only 72 wide-shouldered pages of text? All I have is a couple dozen proper names, and a thimbleful of words like “overrammed”. Really, that’s too much worrdds for you, little Bill Gates the Paper Clip? Lame. Actually, on the other hand, the existence of this message gives me hope that I might compose a novel someday. It’s like I topped out an arcade game. Whoot whoot!
