Despite what some people have been saying, you absolutely cannot prey the ghey away.

On a standard PC/Windows keyboard, you have to use the <i>left</i> ALT key (it doesn't work if you press the right one) and you have to have Num Lock enabled, because it only works with numbers entered from the numeric keypad. (It won't work if you use the number keys in the top row.)

If you are using a laptop that has an "embedded" numeric keypad (one that is mapped onto keys in the main three rows) instead of a separate keypad, then you have to press the left ALT key and the Fn key (to enable the keypad) together, plus your number sequence.*

<a href="http:\/\/usefulshortcuts.com\/downloads\/ALT-Codes.pdf" target="_blank">Here</a> is a useful chart that lists most ALT code sequences. <a href="http:\/\/usefulshortcuts.com\/downloads\/ALT-Codes.pdf" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://usefulshortcuts.com/downloads/ALT-Codes.pd...">http://usefulshortcuts.com/...

*(Or else just use the Character Map accessory. In Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 it is found in the System Tools folder, which is inside the Accessories folder that shows up when you hover over All Programs on the Start menu. I put a shortcut of Character Map on my Start menu for easy access.)

<blockquote>spend half of their day working, and the other half learning what every child should learn, and that’s English, you know, English and American history. And as soon as they learn English with some degree of fluency, they can attend local schools, maybe with a voucher program, or something like that. And then they could work when they aren’t in school.</blockquote>

The thing is, wait a week, you could publish the "Americanization Camps" quote with a couple minor changes to make it sound a teeny bit more "Common Core," and attribute it to Nancy Pelosi, and wingtoons would lose their shit.

Could someone please prop Jim Hoft's eyes open with matchsticks and force him to stare at that ThinkProgress retraction for a full week, so he might begin to have the first fucking clue how to do it?

This would be great news for -- wait a minute, I have think -- my ex-step-daughter's father- and mothers-in-law.

Or, maybe not. I don't know how much they depend on the single-mom support thing. And I don't think they actually give much of a shit down in the State of Hurricane.

She is, of course, talking about eight-year-olds, when she says "they could work when they aren't in school."

Oh, 1L, never change. Just remain irrelevant.

Oh, bullshit. We all know you have 22:30 - 22:45 blocked out for "destroy heterosexual marriages".

THIS HERE IS FUCKING BRILLIANT.

Excuse the caps. This is wonderful. Page 30, lower left?

That's an excellent point. The actual 1L quote is more crazy than the shitty satire site quote.

Have they started to give odds in Vegas? Asking, of course, for a friend.

Only works on the keypad. Silly keyboard manufacturers.
