Warmfuzzy +++

What...you...What?!

Yes?

You can't use three pluses!

...Why not?

Because I'm pretty sure it's nothing even resembling correct computer grammar

But warmfuzzy is better than things that just get two pluses!

Yes, but COMPUTERS DO NOT WORK LIKE THAT!

...And you're suddenly an expert on this?

Besides, who says I'm using computer-grammar.

The fact that you've been basterdizing the "++" thing (at least internally) repeatedly over the last month or so.

Yeah, but not necessarily for reasons of computer! It could be the sims, it could be math, it could be...plus...signs. >>

Yes, but it's not, now is it?

Nono, it totally is.

...How do you even function in any sort of real society?

I'm cute enough that people expect me to be incredibly ditzy. Tee-hee, computers are hard and all that.

Yes, because that's an encouraging outlook on life. *hits on back of head* You don't have to be ditzy.

No, of course not. I try to avoid doing it on purpose, that doesn't stop the fact that I am a ditz.

...on occasion.

*smiles* that's a sweet thought, but no, pretty much all the time.

Anyways, I'm gonna post this and go, I dunno, slack. Work on tags. Learn maths. Something like that.

(hmm, foodtiem?)

I'm sure George Orwell would have no problem with triple-plus warm-fuzzy.

Assuming computer synatx, you could just write

warmfuzzy += 2

mostly irrelevant :)

To a computer, warmfuzzy+++ is potentially valid but incomplete. It parses as (warmfuzzy++) + ___. As long as something follows the incremented warmfuzzies, a sum will occur (and the result likely ignored). Of course, it does not mean what we think it means (http://www.uselessmoviequotes.com/umq_p005.htm). ;)
