Not sure why, but I HATE "prolly"

tanorexia, on the other hand, is just fucking funny.

What's better is the huge stack of books we paid $1,200 for in 1995 in anticipation of our son.....called Encylopedia Britanica

I told my wife we didn't NEED to buy them....did she listen? NOOOOOOO

Never cracked them open ONCE!!!

My mom refuses to get rid of the old set of Encyclopedias that my dad bought over a decade ago.. I keep telling her the information is out of date, and the internet tends to be an easier and faster reference anyway. I did keep the classic literature books out of that set when I moved out, though. THOSE are worth keeping hard copies.

Hey, that $1200 worth of books makes you look plenty smarter than you actually are, so it wasnt a total waste!

My parents bought me a super expensive encyclopedia set back in the early 90s too. I used it for a few years, then I got access to more of the internet than prodigy was willing to let me see.

Probably because "prolly" is just fucking lazy.
