The opposite of stalk

I've been lurking/following the Maxwell posts with thoughtful glee, and even visited ole titus2dourforme a time or two.

 

So imagine my surprise when my The Spousal Unit sighed dramatically, "If you MUST print out a 54-page document, at least put enough paper in the tray!"

 

54-page document? Say what?

 

"'Maxwell Family Blog,'" he read. I honestly thought I was going to stroke out, right then and there.

 

Somehow, I queued up that bunch of dreck to print. How? I do not know, I only know I will proceed around that site with great caution. Here's my best guess: I went into an involuntary spasm and in trying to strangle the keyboard, hit CTRL+P by mistake.

 

Here's a sad RIP to the tree that died to make the 19 pages that did print before TSU caught it. And a tear for the 3 toner cartridges that gave their all for ... photos of robotically smiling, half-starved people in the breadbasket state of Kansas. The irony is overwhelming. The recycling of sad printed paper is the only redeeming value to the whole sorry mistake.

 

:shock:

:lol:

That poor tree thought it was giving its life for some noble purpose only to have photos of the Maxwells printed on its corpse.

Soak the paper and shred it to make pulp, then press it into new, slightly more colorful paper without any of their blog nonsense visible, and then use it to write a lovely letter to your congressperson in support of something like marriage equality. Or make a pretty wedding day memory card for a same-sex couple. Use it to make a pro-choice sign. Press the pulp into notecards, sell them on Etsy, and donate the money to Planned Parenthood.

This tree shall not die in vain! :mrgreen:
