(Explanation to anyone besides us who happens to revisit this entry even later than we did: Some drama on LJ that happened much later made it seem not only plausible, but likely, that a lot of my old entries and comments - including this one - might make people, even my LJ friends, hate me, so I linked to all of the posts that I was worried about.)
Not even what I said I was worried about?
(First appearance of the phrase "holy whole hand dealer" on my LJ, which doesn't make sense to people who haven't read the backwards Sarah McLachlan lyric that inspired it. Which isn't many people considering that I still have OWY1U down now, and due to a lot of issues about the format, it's likely to stay that way for a lot longer.
You have to realize that a) not everyone knows what "holy whole hand dealer" means and b) it is possible that someone who doesn't know could misinterpret it horribly. Yes, it's not such a problem in my journal even though OWY1U is down because I have a glossary, but it is a problem in other communities unless I either refrain from using it or explain it. And since my explanations get convoluted, refraining from using it is really the only option.
Also, implies that I actually believe that backwards lyrics actually are true whenever they can be construed to make some sense, even though whenever I say "backwards lyrics do not lie" or something, it's still just a joke.)
I'm referring to (along with other things in other entries) this sentence from the entry: Did you know Dido apparently has a crush on Olimar (from the Pikmin games)?
Yes, compared to other things in the list I'm not as worried about these, but I felt the need to include them anyway just so I could feel better about them.
