I’m not at all certain what happened, but there was some corruption in the database that fiziko, He Who Sleeps Even Less Than I, spotted this morning. Approximately seven comments were lost in the process. Sorry, folks.

oh yeah…
it’s all fixed now. :-)
hello
dave, not trying to be an ass,
(mostly just being bored
and killing time while doing
laundry and acting busy in the
hopes that my mother’s cat,
(who largely resembles
queen slug-for-a butt)
will leave me alone)
(are you allowed to put
parenthesis inside of other
parenthesis?)
i know you can with mathematics,
but is it proper for use in every-
day english?
oh, well, i forgot the point.
i’m so bored.
addendum
i just remembered.
isn’t it ‘apologies are an order’
rather than ‘in order’?
i’m so petty when i’m doing laundry.
…huh…?
It took me something like twelve readings of that to translate it into something my brain was able to parse. Too many parentheses. (I never took LISP for a reason.)
Anyway. I believe the phrase derives from parliamentary procedure, where a certain action is either “in order” (permitted within the current context) or “out of order” (not permissible, duh).
