That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Post here when you've made an egregious mistake, accidentally copied without attribution, or said rotten shit you wish you hadn't said.

I will start:

Despite my longstanding arguments to the contrary, it has been proven to my satisfaction that Milton Keynes is actually a city in England, and not an economist.  This in turn proves that the "midlands" do in fact exist, and are not simply the product of the fevered imagination of people living in Buckinghamshire.

Also, it turns out that Stockholm isn't a country.

I'd just like to offer an apology to everyone that was involved in that unfortunate incident.

I'm sorry I thought that would fit in there.

Please be assured that it wasn't a malicious mistake on my part, I just ended up using the wrong side of the ruler and made the first measurement in metric.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Contrary to popular belief, guys do not always like it when you hit them in the junk with a holy relic meat hammer.  Who the fuck knew?  :?


Except for Roger, who ALWAYS likes that shit.

I'd like to apologize for declaring my current university president to be a genetically-engineered goblin created by Monsanto. That was wrong, and an insult to all of Goblindom.

He is, in fact, a completely respectable corporate whore of the first order.

I believe I owe a certain author of certain esteem in a certain community a certain set of words for a certain thing I may or may not have said out loud.

I'm sorry that I thought you were being a deliberately obtuse hoebag and/or attention whoring troll. . I realize now that you really meant what you said. :(

I'm also sorry that when you first said it, I didn't write you a letter that you had just said this thing out loud. Mea culpa. Should have let you know that this would become a thing.

I'd like to retract about 98% of my posts, especially the Taylor Swift lyrics.

I would like to formally recant and retract my invoking of blood-gorged rectal ticks in the vicinity of the gentleman having the chili with black beans.  The burrito joint is one of my favorites, and didn't deserve that shit.

My condolences to the break room crowd for using the existence of ICBM's and nuclear weapons to permanently deface anything Ron Paul says about isolationism, and for indirectly undermining the policies of the state of Israel.  Best of luck puling the wool back over your own eyes.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:
