No fail merges today, no fexts or flubstitutes. Just flubs, subbed by a pantheon of old hands. I think everyone represented has been active here for at least five years, save perhaps our first, anonymous submission!

An anonymous Aussie shared a snippet of source from the ozpo website. Notice that even their "suggested example" doesn't fit.

Bill T. has been sending us examples for five years or more. This time, it's a simple oversight that makes you wonder if the programmer actually uses their own product.

And finally, the indefatigable Michael R. humblebrags how well his cryptos are performing. At this rate, he's soon going to be able to buy the whole website. "We live in dire times when a gain of +0% is already good."

IT'S A JOKE, son. It's all jokes.
