Happy 10th birthday Trenchant.org →
Though a point mentions me, this is what I most related to:
Figuring out how to use MS-DOS on my first 286 when I was 7
I remember when all I knew how to do on a computer was navigating between directories and displaying the contents of directories. And that was all I did on them for probably a year.

Girl Scout Cookie Time!
Anthony: in order of popularity: Thin Mints, Carmel Delites, Peanut Butter Patties, Short Breads, PB Sandwiches, Thanks A Lots, Lemonades and the new Shout Outs
Anthony: don't have lemonades or thanks a lots at hand
Anthony: thing is, I suspect nearly everyone has had girl scout cookies, and should already know what they like.
Me: Yeah
Me: WTF is a lemonade?
Me: I think you're making this all up
Anthony: lemonades are shortbreads dipped in lemon frosting
Anthony: thanks a lots are shortbreads dipped in fudge
Me: What about the Tokyo How-Do-You-Dos?
Me: Dang I want a box of Loving Plentys, do you have any of those?
Anthony: god damn it
Me: I think there is a great deal of comedy in making up Girl Scout Cookie names that could double as euphemisms for sex acts.
Me: And I need you to agree.
Me: I want a Gentle Sammy stat.
Anthony: You are terrible.
Me: Some Great Job! Post-Its
Me: Sprinkle some Sunlight Grandpas on my ice cream.
Me: You have to admit these do sound like real cookies

of course this is very rough, plus it doesn’t take into account wild...
