On the other hand, so to speak, being able to shove a stick in it for backscratcher duty more than makes up for that. And the toaster. I don't like it. Now that I'm in my 40's, if there's gonna be something in my house that's younger, hotter, and pops up more often than me, it should just shut the hell up about it.

And the toaster. I don’t like it. Now that I’m in my 40’s, if there’s gonna be something in my house that’s younger, hotter, and pops up more often than me, it should just shut the hell up about it.

"GNU" and "GNOME" do not contain periods in their names. They are acronyms, however. (GNU stands for "GNUs Not Unix", a recursive acronym. GNOME used to stand for "GNU Network Object Model Environment", but now it doesn't stand for anything.) *pushes glasses up* Um, excuse me. “GNU” and “GNOME” do not contain periods in their names.
