Which reminds me: I should buy a lava lamp. And also that it's retarded to heat a lava lamp on YOUR FRIGGING STOVE.

Is there a special name for an "lol" caused by another person actually writing "lol", 'cause that's what just happened right now.

I'd suggest lol squared, but I don't know how to do a superscript 2 on this stupid thing.

grrr.

Wow, you guys really got to the heart of that one, didn't you.

But seriously it's not THAT funny; that would kind of suck. It's up there with getting caught in the chimney while playing Santa and dying (see quality film, Gremlins). It could happen to you.

Excellent point, Snarky. It's like how everyone says it'd be funny if someone drowns in the tiny pool on the deck of a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. That's not funny. The dude's dead.

Actually, no, I'm kidding. It's pretty funny.

I'm sorry. You're right. One of these days I'll be trying to warm up my lava lamp on the stove and accidentally die and just before I do I'll think to myself 1) oh man, i just heated up a lava lamp on the stove for some reason and 2) I wish I hadn't commented on this on the EL blog because now my death is both meta and retarded.

Actually, I believe the term is "metarted."
