Gertrude Stein is trying to sell me Viagra. What's wrong with this picture?

What is "snark" in your userpic referring to? Websnark, the site that reviews webcomics, or some other, more generic use of the word snark that I'm currently unaware of?

"Snark" is an Internet-originated term that means sarcasm, basically. But it has to be witty, somewhat bitchy sarcasm. It's a little hard to define; you just sort of know it when you see it.

I'm not familiar with the webcomic review site you mentioned, but I'm guessing they probably do snarky reviews, and hence the name.

*nods* Yep, that about sums it up.

I got spam from "Gertrude Stein" trying to sell me Viagra. Well, Cialis, but same diff.

Well, she obviously has no need for it. Maybe she figured spamming out an ad would be less of a pain than trying to sell it on EBay. :-D

I'll be cackling about that one for days.

if anything....
