    It's always been pronounced "gif" with the hard "g" to me. I only recently, while watching a Vlogbrothers video, realized there was a debate about the pronunciation. The peanut butter way just sounds wrong.

    I thought it was the hard g, I had no idea pronounced it like George Jefferson. That's Coo-coo bananas if you ask me.

    The only reason it was a story was because the rest of the Internetting populace clearly knew this guy was wrong and had lost control of his twitchy bandwidth-sucking Frankenstein.

    The real question is whether you honkies like your gif crunchy or smooth.

    Today is Clint Eastwood's birthday. Judging from the latest photo he was born 460 years ago.

    Dirty Harry is possibly the greatest cop film next to Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach. Celebrate the original Grumpy Cat:

    The anticipation brought forth by waiting for a package to arrive kills me every time.

    HURRY THE FUCK UP UPS TRUCK!!!

    Also, .gif is pronounced like "jif."

    Jekyll Island, GA. Bridesmaid. Outdoor wedding and it's humid as balls (seriously...who has an outdoors wedding during the summer in south GA?). I'm torn between getting a nice buzz so that I don't care and staying relatively sober around so many of my best friend's old money family members. I don't want to be the drunken trash from Dallas.

    If they're old money from the deep south, you're already drunken trash from Dallas to them.

    Why the fuck do people do this? What is it about standing around outside in the heat that makes people go "perfect".

    I did it once because I was in the wedding, Florida in July, in a suit can suck my balls. Never again.

    It's funny that his message reads "It's pronounced JIF, not GIF," which implies that one would naturally use the hard g like "gift," but the creators decided to pronounce it differently and had to point out to everyone that it's not pronounced the way it looks. Typical computer geeks, but y'all follow along if you like.

    Is the correct pronunciation of an acronym one of those internet things about which I should have an unreasonably strong opinion?

    Yeah...rehearsal is today, wedding is tomorrow at the same time.

    The mother of the bride brought insect repellant sheets/squares on case it gets bad...and the poor bf is wearing a suit both days. He's just a guest. This is the exact opposite of what I'd want my wedding to be like.

    I'm going to a wedding in Moorhead, MN tomorrow- just across the river from Fargo. We'll see how the drive compares to going through Iowa on I-35.

    One of my girlfriend's co-workers is getting hitched and the reception is at a casino. This could be fun.

    I'm also up at a wedding in New Jersey right now. The wedding is on Sunday. It's a black tie affair and its going to be held at least partly outside. It's supposed to be 90 degrees out. I have no idea why on earth anyone would plan something like that. I don't "do well" in these situations.
