Dear the internet:

When people ask you how to do something in some programming or scripting language, please answer their actual question.  You can attach the moralising along with, I've no problem with it, but just saying "Simple: Don't do that!" is incredibly annoying.

I'm trying to find a way to have phpMyAdmin submit a query if the query box is in focus and one of three different keys/key combos is pressed, one of which is F5.  So, I'm looking for how to disable F5, because I'm looking to disable the F5==refresh functionality only when the box is highlighted.

Instead, I get page after page of "You shouldn't do that" and "Just rewrite your app to where F5 doesn't break it" and argh.  Morans.

We have had internet for ages.  Therefore, there is no excuse for your web-based ANYTHING to fail SO HARD that I have to CALL YOU.

Dear *andrea:

I don't know if you know any Marilyn Manson, but I'm pretty sure you should see the ASL cover (rendition? translation?) of "The New Shit".  (There is sound.)

I... I am enthralled.

Dear yall:

This cat is, at 48" from nose to tail-tip, the longest cat there is.

That is FOUR FEET OF CAT.  Aside from the four it already has.

MY BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING

PS: And, this cat will eat your babies.

Dear the world:

What the deuce is wrong with the word 'alternate'?  Did it wrong your family?  Did it piss in your cereal?  Is it insufficiently bulky?

Re: Return

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to you regarding your 30-year money-back guarantee.  It seems that my body has been reduced to a pile of much.  Furthermore, the only noise I am capable of emitting is a high squeak.  You don't want to know how I'm writing this.

I am shipping my body to you, and would like a replacement as soon as possible.  If you would, please include an immunity to intolerably cute, squeaking, lolling-about-on-the-stairs raccoons.

Yrs,
-X

PS: By 'loll', I mean loll, although given that this is the internet and I don't speak Raccoon, perhaps it was--

Okay, I went to search for a lolcoon, and ended up dying anew.  Please hurry.

Dear Crush:

I was not expecting to fall for you so hard.  Indeed, I wasn't expecting a new interest at all.  But you were so... unassuming and smooth, yet striking.  Simple, yet fascinating.  I am, I admit, enthralled.

You've intrigued me from the start.  I know it's a terrible cliché, but not a day goes by that I haven't thought about you.  When I first met you, I honestly thought you were out of my league.  But you were easy to approach, and I felt so comfortable interacting with you.  You're sophisticated in ways that I'm not, and I never even entertained the notion that I'd ever travel in your circles, but you are tempting me to broaden my boundaries.

I'm not good with words.  I just wanted to say that I adore you from afar, and maybe one day, I'll work up the nerve to take you out proper.  I'll find some way of proving that I deserve you.  I do hope you'll be patient with me.

Adoringly,
Xtina
