"Microsoft is bringing Clippy back to Microsoft Teams," reports Vox Media, "after first resurrecting the annoying paperclip two years ago and then killing it off after a few days."
So, next Easter, when your preacher declares that Christ the Lord is risen again, be sure to shout, "Hey, just like Clippy!"
I noticed recently that someone I briefly knew 20 years ago calls himself an "Emmy-winning writer" on his website. But his Emmy—a local Emmy, from what I can tell—is for a children's TV show produced somewhere in the midwest.
That's why I now demand that everyone refer to me as an Ermy-winning writer.
What's an Ermy, you ask?
Whoopee Goldbird, yet another illustrious EGOD winner
An award you don't have, obviously.
I'm actually an EGOD winner: Ermy, Granny, Ozkar, and Dony. Yep, just me, Mike Nickels, Marvin Hamlet, Audrey Heartburn, Pat Morita Moreno, and a few awe-inspiring others.
