    It looks like you are unaware of internet traditions. What would you like to learn about?
    * Rickrolling
    * Proper use of blockquotes
    * Detesting anyone with different opinions
    * Porn

    One of my faves.

    Ah yes, the rickroll.
    I’m bringing back the “Friday Dogblogging” tonight, which I have neglected shamefully in previous months.
