My friend noz spent the last two weeks in Egypt. You should check out his pithy dispatches.
this morning i bummed around the west bank of the nile river, visiting the valley of kings, the valley of queens, the temple of hatshepsut, and the colossi of memnon. i don’t know if you guys were aware of this, but this county is littered with all this giant old crap. back by cairo, they had these awesome big triangles, like in giza and shit. every time i saw them i thought: “damn, that’s a big triangle”.
noz and skippy share a strange aversion to capital letters. I don’t know what their mothers did to them.
Is there a resident psychiatrist around here that could dissect this phenomena?
Quite strange. Certainly not as annoying, though, as those ALL CAPITAL LETTER freaks of nature. The capital letter syndrome seems to be mainly a characteristic of the authoritarian set.

It goes back to earlier days of internet use when few felt the need to use capital letters. Of course that was before the dark times, before the Empire…

it’s no strange aversion, it’s just a shorthand to signal that i am writing informally. at work, i use caps. when i blog or write personal emails, i don’t.
and don’t blame my mother, she uses caps in her emails.
must be your father’s fault.
