"*" appreciation thread

*begins to write post*

I appreciate the typing character "*" (commonly referred to
as "lint-ball" with the accent on the first syllable. It has
two silent e's which are also invisible) because it has
evolved a special purpose for the internet nerd community.
That purpose is to indicate action.

*turns computer monitor upside down and continues typing*

One places, ie. puts, the "lintball" on either side of the
action, which is written in present "tents" and omits the
noun, ie. person, which does, ie. participates, in this
action, ie. motion. It's significance to the evolution of
internet communication won't be acknowledged by the main
stream nerd community for hundreds of dozens of months, when
current falsely thought breakthroughs such as "lol" have
been long forgotten.

w M w is also the author of "The lol phenomenon".

*sticks head through a magic portal in *my monitor, having
it come out of yours*

* this particular lintball uses it's, yet other feature
which is to provide a note about a particular passage when
it occured in the text, in this case at "my". This note is
thusly soishly: It is still being debated whether only the
very first action-committing-noun is ommited or all
action-committing-nouns, in which case "my" should be
removed as well.

*urinates on *self while sitting in (my?) chair without
caring*
* it seems this "self" is necessary.

*clicks on post button*

I like them because it keeps people looking over your
shoulder from seeing your password when you type it in on
the computer monitor.

ahh aaah yes. Excellent points.. excellent points. I

to do nothing constructive.

I will never forget the first time Kurt Vonnegut showed me
what an anus looks like.
