Etc.
Via Kottke, we are directed to The Ampersand, a blog about what its writer declares to be “often the most attractive punctuation mark of them all.” I call bullshit. The ampersand is the assfaced slag of the graphematic cosmos. It’s nothing more than a Mexican question mark tricked out in a percentage sign’s whorish costume. A love of the ampersand is the sign of a deviant personality, bespeaking dark, aberrant desires and repressed memories of early-childhood abuse. I’d say “Fuck the ampersand,” but that’s exactly what the little trollop wants. I cannot make it any more clear: if you find the ampersand appealing you are a fucking pervert.
Now the @ sign, on the other hand, that’s the kind of symbol you want to stick your dick into. But slow and gentle, and not until you’ve bought it dinner first and maybe some flowers. Because as hot as the @ is, we are talking about one classy piece of punctuation here, and don’t you ever forget it. Sweet, sweet @ sign, I’d like to type you all night long.
