The majority of this journal is going friends-only, because I can.

Read this instead.

"...remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation."
-Abigail Adams, 1776

Well, you should.
Anyway.
From the second round of Who's Carl This Time, discussing Bill Gates' departure and famous angry memos he's written:

Paula Poundstone: Who's Clippy?
Peter Sagal: One day, the engineers at Microsoft said 'You know, the people using our products- they're frustrated, they're angry, but they're not insane with rage. How can we...'
Adam Felber: Focus their rage...
Peter Sagal: ...How about if, just in the middle of doing something, an animated paperclip pops up on the screen and says 'Can I help you? What're you doin'? Can I see?'
Adam Felber [vague NYC accent]: Geez, there's a lotta trees out here. Don't think we're anywhere near Redmond anymore.
Paul Provenza: What is that, cannoli?
Adam Felber: What're ya diggin'? What're ya diggin'? Can I help you dig? Oh, you've got a baseball bat! Do you want to learn to play baseball? Maybe I can help you with that!
Paul Provenza: It looks like you're digging a grave! Is this a business grave or a personal grave?
Paula Poundstone: So he's an animated character that you didn't like?
Peter Sagal: ....Yeah, basically.
