slammerkinbabe, and with copious code-cleaning1:Your Score: quotation marks
You scored 61% Sociability and 64% Sophistication!
There is a lot more to you than meets the eye. You certainly get plenty of "action," but you'd be happier if those who lusted after you were more selective. You hate being used as a general intensifier; haven't these people ever heard of underlining? Italics? And yes, you remember the cruel words Mr. Joyce directed at you.
But you let none of this get you down; those who abuse you are destined for a "special" reward, sooner or later. You feel particularly warm toward periods, commas, exclamation points, and question marks, and usually wish to have them next to you. Parenthesis Parentheses2 can sometimes trouble you.
...I suppose it's kind of appropriate. A little bit. Maybe. I can has sophistication?
- Which, sensibly, could be done by just using <lj-raw>...</lj-raw> (which is oddly hard to make LJ post properly, *sigh*) to stop it autoformatting, but where's the fun in that? Sensible, indeed. Begone, vile sense!
- So this isn't strictly a code thing, but it actually did trouble me. Yay meme, truth in advertising and all, but really. Parenthesis? Last time I checked, they still travelled in pairs, unless it's in someone's hopelessly messy and broken C3 code, in which case it's anyone's guess how many there actually are. Being 'troubled by parenthesis' is like saying 'Mr. Plod4, 5 doesn't wear any trouser'. Yes, people might understand what you mean, but it's really not the best way of saying it.
- It doesn't necessarily have to be C, but it's my example and I'll pick whatever I want.6
- And that fullstop isn't really needed, but then I'm up against their right to spell and punctuate character names however they damned well please7.
- When double-checking that I had the right pantsless policeman8, Google delivered possibly the most scarring thing I've yet seen on the Internet: Noddy slash. AU Noddy slash, where Mr. Plod wears trousers expressly for the purpose of Noddy drawing his 'truncheon' out of them. And that's just in the results snippet; I'd rather not see the rest of it.
- If I keep going like this, one day I'm going to have to add a 'footnotes' tag or something. Plus, point of interest: there were but three footnotes when I added this one. Really, it's getting ridiculous.
...I should probably make a poll.9 - Apparently the names are copyrighted, and it upsets them terribly if you punctuate their character names differently. They advise people to use their own punctuation in their own original character names. And has Anne Rice's favourite saying perhaps been mocked too much?
...I think I'll make a poll.9 - Is it just me, or would 'Pantsless Policemen' (or 'Pantsless Policewomen' or 'Pantsless Policepersons') probably make a good band name?
...so, a poll. Definitely a poll.9 - In conclusion10, a poll.
Poll #1011057 The poll is coming from inside the footnote...

View AnswersBest. Tag. Idea. Ever.
22 (75.9%)Unutterable silliness.
13 (44.8%)Both.
19 (65.5%)...wait, they're tickyboxes. Why is there an option for both?!
23 (79.3%)Anne Rice mockery
View AnswersAs fun as ever
20 (71.4%)Like a kind of mockery nostalgia
16 (57.1%)Old, and tired, and please don't ever do it again
0 (0.0%)Copyrighted, upset terribly, own original tickyboxes, etc.
10 (35.7%)Pantsless Policepersons as a band name. Discuss.
View AnswersWait, what?
13 (46.4%)You can't in a tickybox!
19 (67.9%)I'm happy you didn't turn that into an overelaborate R+G reference
2 (7.1%)I'm disappointed you didn't turn that into an overelaborate R+G reference
7 (25.0%)It's a poll inside a footnote.
And that answer was supposed to be 'you can't discuss in a tickybox'. Please, for everyone's good, imagine that it actually is. - Conclusion! Ha! I bet you thought it'd never-
Oops. That... kind of ruined it. A little bit. Maybe. I can has conclusion?
