If you are reading this message...

Loosely inspired by the anonymous comment memes: I would like EVERYONE who sees this post to comment on it.

That includes people whose flists I'm on, people I know who don't have ljs, strangers who came accross it randomly via friend-of-friends, even random surfers who accidentally come accross it googling(*) for something unrelated in a couple of years time. Everyone.

You don't have to say anything deep, you don't have to say anything at all. I will not judge you for reading this even if we barely know each other or don't at all. It would be nice if anonymous commenters could identify themselves ("Hi, you don't know me, I came across this googling for pancake recipes" is more than enough :)) but as long as everyone only posts once(**) I'll live.

If you want some direction on what to post, some ideas:
-the first thing that pops into your head
-a book recommendation
-how you came accross this post (though too many "Via my friends list" entries could get kinda dull)
-A smiley face
-The word "cheese!" (or, as [livejournal.com profile] the_riviera_kid suggests, "Pancake recipes" :))
-anything else you feel like. Though IP logging is not off, this isn't that kind of meme :) And I will probably avoid replies since it'd be nice for the number of comments to roughly match the number of commenters.

(*)Or whatever it is we'll be doing to find stuff online once the singularity/apocolypse comes
(**)Replying to other people's comments is ok I guess, but I want to make sure there's only one comment thread per person.

I wonder how many people need to use the phrase "pancake recipe" in their comment, and/or link to this page using said text, before someone can legitimately say "I came across this googling for pancake recipes".

Good evening.
I quite enjoyed Spider Robinson's Callahan series.
Hope life is treating you well.

Hi. I'm from ProgSoc (http://www.progsoc.org). Some UCC guys visited us in January, and I've had the UCC Planet on my reading list.

...That's why I'm reading. :D. (See, you get the smiley face, too!)

contemplated posting a pancake recipe. Then thought about posting my fruit cake recipe, just in case you are ever inspired to cook one. Then decided I'm too slack, and I'll do something else instead. But a little ditty that you might enjoy (tune is hopefully obvious, start about halfway through):

I believe I left some clothing of mine at your place the other day and have been meaning to e-mail you, but now I'll comment here instead. :-) Cake-eating party was good, though.

A black jacket? It is sitting just opposite me, pining for you sadly.

How would you like to reobtain it? I'll be coming in to uni next Monday, otherwise you'll have to come back here.

What is a non-interlocking can? Or an interlocking one for that matter?

all the functions are at a party one day, and e^x is being all sad sack in a corner

so x squared comes over and says "oh come on, e^x, integrate yourself"

and e^x emos "oh why should I, it makes no difference"

The first thing that comes into my head is the thought that I've been encountering a surprising number of P. C. Hodgell fans on LJ recently.

Are you familiar with her work at all?

Not even slightly. What does he/she write?
