    "Linux Security"? That is an oxymoron, like "Central Intelligence".

    For you dumbass *nix users, oxymoron means "A rhetorical figure in which an epigrammatic effect is created by the conjunction of incongruous or contradictory terms"

  6. Ask Slashdot : suck my cock? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I was wondering if any slashdot readers were interested in sucking my cock. It's a farily decent piece of meat, washed daily, never left outside overnight or driven in salty conditions. If you aren't into swallowing, I would be happy to take a snowball.

    If anyone's interested, email me and we'll talk.

    I kind of prefer melda. It reminds me of melba toast, which is quite a happy toast for me. Thank you, kind AC, for bringing a ray of sunshine into an otherwise cloudy day.

    Melba toast NOUN:
    Very thinly sliced crisp toast.

    ETYMOLOGY:
    After Dame Nellie Melba.

    WORD HISTORY:
    The familiar foods named for Helen Porter Mitchell are not recognizable as such unless one knows her stage name was Dame Nellie Melba. This famous opera singer of the late 19th and early 20th century, who took her last name from her native city of Melbourne, inspired others to honor her by naming things such as "soaps and sauces, ribbons and ruffles" after her. Perhaps the best known of such honors are Melba toast and peach Melba. Auguste Escoffier, the famous chef, is thought to have had a hand in both. Melba toast is said to be derived from the crisp toast that was part of Dame Melba's diet during the year 1897, a year in which she was very ill. The hotel proprietor César Ritz supposedly named it in a conversation with Escoffier. Pêche Melba was said to have been created by Escoffier for an 1892 party honoring the singer at the Savoy Hotel in London, although neither Escoffier nor Melba agreed with this version of events. Peach Melba is first recorded in English in 1905 (in the form Pêches à la Melba) and Melba toast in 1925.

      Will you marry me? We could spend our days eating toast and writing songs about toast and doing little drawings of toast and visiting many of the country's fine toast galleries.

      Until death or lack of toast do us part?

      I wish I could, oh how I wish I could. But alas I am afraid I cannot. My heart belongs to another. My heart belongs to the bagel.

      With many bagels and apologises, your friend.

      My heart crumbles like blackened pumpernickel! Our choice of breakfast breads should not keep us apart! That's why they have the toasters where some of the slots are bagel sized but some are normal because if you put bread in the bagel ones it leans over and toasts wrong.

      I'm going to drown my sorrows in marmalade.
