So I just checked the lyrics of the Ballad of the Sneak.
It's "fluffy puff confections".
I've been hearing "fucking mustard snaptions" for all these years, and being confused because those lyrics don't fit the style of the rest of the song.
(Also, it's "flapper girls' affections" and not "clever girls' affections", and "jaunty jackanapes with moxie and pizzazz" rather than "jolly jackanapes with potsie and pizzazz".)

Did anything actually happen on Feb 27, 2008, or was that just a joke? I probably was just a joke, but you never know.
I didn't realize flash was dying.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.I first noticed popular opinion against the thing around the same time Apple refused to support it on the iPhone. It was probably building up to that point, though either way, it's steadily gotten worse since then.
Like, Flash, for me, likes to crash the instant it's required on any browser session I've been using for more than a few minutes, and after it's crashed once, it'll immediately crash every subsequent time it's called until you completely close the browser and reopen it. Heck, it happened when I tried to view that very cartoon earlier today. That's pretty much unusable.
Of course, Firefox itself is getting kind of unusable even outside of Flash's woes, but that's another topic for another time.
Moon◊The problem with wanting Flash to die is that it's not taking the long-term effects into view.
The people who say "Barely anything requires Flash nowadays, you won't miss it at all" aren't taking in the stuff that does and that a lot of people on the Internet - those who don't make their voices heard, admittedly - wouldn't want to give up.
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."
