Testing bob's brilliant strategem for pasting. Who invented this ctrl thingy anyway, and how is one supposed to know about it? Certainly, right click does not work..... see? But Ctrl does, so now I can flood my blog with inane substances from already written words, either by myself, (nonowrimo, eccentricities), jokes, stories, or brilliant posts from the board. Anything. My ability to post on here has just expanded, and it will be mightilly helpful when I don't know what to write straight on to here.

Funny that, this whole post dedicated to pasting, and none was actually pasted. Oh well.
