Types of Online Word Emphasis

2 Comments
  • *Surrounding asterisks* – my chosen means of accenting a word in a post
  • ALL-CAPS – I use this occasionally, more often in humorous posts.
  • Bold – I don’t like bold — it doesn’t stand out as much as I would like.
  • Italics – Don’t use this much, either. I remember noting the nice of use of italics for emphasis in The Catcher in the Rye, but I reserve italics on my blog for titles of albums and books (hey, did you notice I italicized a book title in this very sentence??!).
  • Underline – Looks too much like a * hyperlink .
  • Blinking – I don’t want you to kill me.

* Sorry, that wasn’t a link. This one is really, I promise!

*LOVE, SPLOTCHY*

Smell My Butt, Yes You Do

So, I asked my 3 year old boy if I could record his song. He enthusiastically agreed. Please bear in mind that you are missing a visual component of the song — what he calls the “Stinky Dance”, which is basically him pulling his pants down and shaking his butt at you.

Without further ado, please enjoy Smell My Butt, Yes You Do:
