Childfree vs Metaquotes vs Stupid_free vs 'George Carlin' of the Furry Internets
(moved from [info]clairvoyantwank

Over on Metaquotes</s>, [info]2_gryphon is quoted with an amusing -- and relatively benign -- retelling of his verbal sparring with an irate father.

And then a gleeful [info]featherypony happily comments that they'd love to share the post with [info]childfree.

Power Word: KNEE-JERK

[info]mayavada swoops in and lashes out at the OP and the mention of [info]childfree.

Ready. Set. Wank.


Enjoy!

Bonus: It's been reported back to [info]childfree.

And they're off!

EDIT: This wank report has been brought to you by four cups of coffee and all the jelly beans in my kid's Easter basket. *gibber* *gibber*

EDIT II: It's now made it to [info]stupid_free, [info]customers_suck, [info]cs_snark and [info]cf_snark

Good times

Miss Manners does in fact have several books, which can be found in the etiquette section of most bookstores (at Borders, this can be found as a subset of the reference section, near the dictionaries and encycopedias and wedding planners and stuff). I recommend The Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, as well as her Guide for the Turn-of-the-Millenium, although all of her books are great. The best parts are, of course, the question-and-answer sections, which are sometimes like mini wanks with expert pwnage all rolled into one. The Washington Post also hosts a backlog of her recent articles here, which goes back a fairly long way and which is just total fun for browsing. She is also hosted on MSN here</s>, but these articles are usually shorter. Expert pointer: the thicker, more comprehensive Miss Manners books are usually easily found in most American libraries, so that's a quick and dirty way to catch up on several decades worth of advice. Best of all, it's free. :)

I don't think her column comes out more than twice a week, however. So what you see on the Washington Post website might be all of the stuff you're getting in your local paper.

(sorry for the html failure, but JF was acting up and wouldn't let me edit before I posted, and I didn't want to rewrite the whole thing)
