Seriously though - this is a break-even game. Every calendar I print and don't sell is $9 out of my pocket! The more of you that preorder the less are going to wind up with no calendar!

There is a word, "Preorder," in the original post. It is a "hyperlink" a conceit of "hypertext" that allows one to reference a remote document at the semantically appropriate place in a text. Brilliant technologists combined efforts with equally brilliant information theorists to provide you a simple means of indicating that you would like to switch contexts from this document to the referenced ones.

Click it, bitch.

Dear Miles,

I have no idea what most of those words mean individually, let alone in context or combination.

Roughly 90 seconds after waking this morning afternoon, I decided to see who I could antagonize on the internet (cf. lulz). This thread appeared at the top of my favorite world-wide-webpage, and as such, it was a natural choice. I considered how lulz could most effectively be extracted, and opted for pretending I didn't understand how to order a calendar, because this has been lulzy in the past, and everyone knows that the jokes on the internet get funnier with each iteration.

The reason I write, however is this: At the time, I thought I actually knew how to order a calendar, and was just pretending that I didn't. But after all this talk of "conceit" and "semantics", I'm not sure I do. Might we please arrange for secure deal with escr0w service? Is safe I assure. I am very interested I thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
-Justin

P.S. I took this picture, then added words. Cool, huh?

Ryan, I guffawed knowingly to myself when I saw your post. I give you 4 of my internets, and happily so.

In a related story, on one hand, I feel bad about interrupting legitimate threads with total nonsense. On the other hand, Zalgo.
