Just a quick note this week: I discovered that many people have been sending in submissions for this column and designating them for CodeSod by mistakes. Consequently, there is an immense backlog of material from which to choose. An abundance of riches! We will be seeing some older items in the future. For today, a collection of colons:
Bill NoLastName
, giving away clues to his banking security questions online:
"If had known there was a limit, I would have changed my daughter's
middle name. I've been caught by this before – my dad has only a
middle initial (no middle name)."
Gordon F.
heard of a greal deal:
"This is the first mention of shipping on a hearing aids website. Tough choice."
Michael P.
underlines a creative choice:
"I got an email from a recruiter about a job opening. I'm a little confused about the requirements."
Cole T.
pretend panics about pennies (and maybe we need an article about false urgency, hm):
"Oh no! My $0 in rewards are about to expire!"
Finally, bibliophile
WeaponizedFun (alsonolastname)
humblebrags erudition. It ain't War & Peace, but it's still an ordeal!
"After recently finishing The Brothers Karamazov after 33 hours on audio disc, I was a bit surprised to see that Goodreads is listing this as my longest book with only 28 pages. 28 discs, maybe, but I still am questioning their algorithm, because this just looks silly."
