Most amusing typo ever.

[out_there]

Ryan had been living in the Cohen's poohouse for about eight months

*giggles* As fans of the O.C. know, Ryan lives with Seth's family, in their poolhouse.

It's a good fic, it's just one of those tiny errors that it's easy to miss.

Meanwhile, the boss is out and I don't wanna work. Some of the office is exchanging emails about a missing cup (the cleaners said they broke it, but there are concerns that's it's an elaborate cover-up and that the cups were taken *snerk*). I'm going to type up handwritten bits of fic.

Hey. I even have a SN filk in here. I think I'll post it just to remind myself why it's far more embarrassing to write filk than fic.

ETA: Latest announcement from one of the staff:

'The Cleaners or anyone who harbours the actions of the Cleaners will be brought to justice. The perpertrators of this cowardly attack on our cups will be brought down. I declare this operation to be called INFINITE FREEDOM FOR OUR CUPS.'

Apparently, I'm not the only one feeling silly from a hot night and absent boss.

Should not be reading stuff like this at work. Laughing out loud at the computer will only scare away the customers, which is not good.

Poohouse.... *snigger*

And I think I like whoever that wrote that 'memo' in your office. heh.

And really, Lanning's fic? SOOOO Good!!

That was the most amusing memo of the lot. (And the most articulate. *g*)

I'm sure Lanning's fic is good, it's just... going on my "Must read some day" list, along with "Despair and D..." (the sequel to "Lust over Pendle"). ALthough, I think both of them would be best if I read the rest of the series with the latest bits. *g*

Oh my god ::blush::

I'm so embarrassed. I blame the typo on my crappy eyesight, partly. At least it was amusing. (and I guess since neither I nor my beta caught it, not huge)

Shelley would say that my other most amusing typo was the word "tangenital" instead of "tangential". Eep. Luckily she caught that before I posted.

Oh, hey, I didn't mean to embarrass you. It just made me dissolve into giggles, because I'm mentally about nine years old. *g*

It's one of those totally minor 'missing one letter' typos that occur all the time, and are frequently missed. I noticed one in a fic I posted months ago, and had beta'd twice. It happens, but usually, it's not so amusing.

*giggles* Okay, that one's funny as well.

*hugs* I really did enjoy the fic.

I bet the Cohens' poohouse is still an improvement over the hellhole that was Chino, where they have neither lobster nor tuxedos.
