Meet Melanie the monk

I witnessed my very first real-life Damn You Auto Correct moment day before yesterday. I don't have an iPhone, but my friend Melanie just got one last week. She's still adjusting. Of course I told her to download Words with Friends, which is a great app except when you're forced to play the word "thong" in the middle of a game with your dad. AWKWARD BUT NECESSARY. Gotta use those letters up, Internet.

So anyway:

Melanie: "Hey, what's your Words with Friends ID?"

Melanie: "Mine's monastic."

Melanie: "Oops."

Melanie: "mkmaddox"

It may not be as funny when I type it out like that, but what was so funny to me was that I received the texts in real time but didn't have time to respond. So when I saw "monastic," I was like, "WHAT THE HECK? That's a TERRIBLE screen name. Among the worst I've ever seen." It didn't occur to me that it was an auto-correction.

I just thought she was an exceptionally bad screen name chooser.

Unrelated but needs to be said: It is killing me, almost literally KILLING ME, that Chick-fil-A has introduced its banana pudding milkshake "for a limited time only" during a time period in which I can't keep any food down.

I Googled it to see if they've said exactly how "limited" of a time we're talking about, but I couldn't find it. GAH. I Tweeted them last night. I'll let you know what I hear.
