    I don't remember Bob, but I do remember Clippy, and have a vague memory of there being a dog, too. I thought Clippy was cool at first but got tired
    of him/her pretty quick. :)

    i fucking hate comic sans. i dont know how people can like it and think it should be used everywhere.

    I never use Comic Sans, but I don't really see what's so bad about it that people hate.

    my boss fucks with me and prints out notes to me with comic sans.

    Hehe this sounds like something I would do if I knew a coworker hated it :P

    I hate odd numbers and my girlfriend insists on setting the climate control
    in the car to an odd number. I guess at the end of the day we all like to
    mess with people.

    Same here. I think it is like all the pineapple pizza hate. It is something that is cool to hate for some reason.

    Long life pineapple pizza!

    Hawaiian pizza (Canadian bacon & pineapple) was always one of my favorites and always seemed liked a popular pizza. I know some people don't like it, but I don't really get the trend of hating it.

    I guess my car has one of those "old" style temperature controls that's just a round knob that I can turn to make it cooler or warmer. :)

    A lot of brand new clothes are treated with formaldehyde. I wouldn't be surprised that some cloth masks are the source of discomforts like a headache because of the chemicals they are treated with during manufacturing. Unlike a piece of clothing that is generally away from you and something the skin can generally protect you from, a mask is a constant source of the chemicals to the lungs.

    yeah i know this and that's a very good point. i just washed it and i'm letting it air dry. a lot of people think that new clothes smell is nice but it's actually formaldehyde.

    other people at work have regular cloth masks and they're having problems. i noticed my problem started when i was doing a lot of physical activity.

    also i think i got dehydrated more than usual because of the mask.

    it's just a horrible experience for me to wear the mask.

    Whenever I buy brand-new clothes, I always like to wash them before I wear them. And I've had new clothes that I think actually smell weird before I wash them.

    I remember Microsoft Bob when it came out (in 1993, I think), but I never used it. And I've seen the Comic Sans font, but I never really understood the jokes about it being such a bad font, etc..

    Yes it came out in '93 through '94. Never hated Comic Sans either even before I knew it was designed for Bob...

    There were a few assistants beside Clippy, just like in Bob there are different ones too besides the dog...
