How To Make Stupid Blogging Mistakes
Man, I just made a doozy of a mistake. If you’re wondering how big “doozy” is, let me give you this ranking system:
Suicidal

Doozy

PayPerPost employees take time off to mock transvestites and cartoon characters
PayPerPost programmers took time out of their busy coding schedule to attend a nerd-fest where they proceeded to dress like fictional female superheros and hand out PPP swag.
