Well that was weird. I reacted to Erik's comment with a "like", and when I clicked like, I got a pop up that asked me if I was sure I wanted to respond to the comment with a "like".

Erik, are you on double-secret probation or something?

I know one route in and one route out, straight to the UIH parking garage. Sadly, it forces me to drive past Kinnick annually... :(

MrsWx's cardiologist has given her the okay to have another kid but she has to go to the UI for all of it due to the high risk. I got bored one day and got looking through their L&D website. They have a special procedure for gamedays since Melrose is closed then. Thankfully we are already passed that window so that won't be a factor. I am kind of mad though because Mercy CR brings freshly made chocolate chip cookies around everyday at 2PM.

Congrats on the upcoming sex

SO, you have one of each. And you're going for a tie-breaker? If it's another girl, I hope she has the glorious hair your first one did! :D
 
My bike has been collecting dust for years. I have a friend who owns a bike shop. I know it needs a new rear rim. I should bring it to him and have him get it road worthy. Then I can either ride it or donate it.

Did you tell your buddy That you will be coming over soon for a rim job? Best to give him a heads up.
 
Question for some of you younger types. I'm pretty sure intentionally typing a post like this - wHaT ABoUt tEh Xs eND O’s? - is mocking someone else's derp comments, but what is the origin? I'm talking about the random caps, not the words.
I've been seeing it a lot over the past couple of years. I just wonder where it started.

I think I remember seeing it paired with the SpongeBob meme.

Basically calling you dumb and/or "slow". Keyboard warriors.
 
Thanks, but that's STILL not my question.
I'm curious why alternating, random capital letters are used.
 
There's a smallish t-shirt company in the Chicago area that makes t-shirts MOSTLY geared towards Chicago area sports, but they do have a few shirts that aren't like that. They just tweeted this out (just as an example)...

 
I know. I just wonder what made some rando think "Gee, if I alternate caps on my words, it will emphasize how stupid someone's post looks". :confused:
This isn't it (since it came from the 70's) but when I see it typed like that, the "mocking voice" that I hear in my head almost has a fluctuating tone to it. So the alternating capital and lower case letters is a visual representation of that alternating tone.

Like how writing in all caps looks like someone is yelling because the letters are just really big and that represents the loud volume.
