"We looked fear right in the face...and avoided direct eye contact." -- SpongeBob SquarePants

That the alternative to being drunk and raving was to drink and read web page sources had never occurred to me before.*
So I was pleasantly surprised to discover this remark in the source code of Peter Welch's http://stilldrinking.org/ :

/*

Yeah, there's some shitty code here. 
There are some things that shouldn't 
be done. I did them. Sometimes, I had
my reasons. Sometimes, I was just being 
lazy. But guess what? You're sitting
there reading the source on some guy's
blog. So fuck you.

So awesome.
What makes his alcohol-fueled composition even better is his damned footnotes. So neat and tidy. I want footnotes like that, and guess what? Blogger does not have them.
Careful study  demonstrates I have  options for the massively overused  Jump Break,

1. Numbered Lists,

• Bullet Lists,

And Quotation.**

I can strike-through and Change the Background Color

But I can't footnote. Dammit, Blogger! I am tired of using asterisks to guide parenthetical remarks; besides, without the dagger, double-dagger, section and pilcrow, it just looks confusing.
Now granted, HTML has never adopted the footnote, and granted also that there is a local-reference-hyperlink workaround, and furthermore there is always Unicode ( U+00B6,
U+00A7, U+2020 and U+2021), but why can't I just hit a footnote button while in the Compose pane and have the machine do all the work for me?
That is the point of computers!***  Anything boring or repetitious, like say playing any MMORG to level-up or
composing cover letters to unknown strangers should be automated. Its nice to be able to open the hood to hand-correct when things go wonky, but I still like to have it distilled to 'Highlight/Press Button'.

Pierre Boulle wrote a story about a story-engine...I shouldn't bring Boulle up as the idea of a automatic story machine has occurred to a lot of writers, and I believe some self-writing blog posting machines exist (All of  Mencius Moldbug for instance). But I'm too drunk to bother researching what the hell I am talking about, and Boulle's version sticks in my mind because of the apes. No wait, that was the story that was 'turned into' Planet of the Apes which I read long before I watched. I also read the Jerry Pournelle adaption of the movie, which gives us a story turned into a movie turned into a novellette. 
Having read this far, I've totally wasted your time: I am thinking about Roald Dahl, and confused it with Boulle's man who hated automatic doors and improbable anti-aircraft guns. Dahl could never have written 'The Bridge over the River Kwai'[pretty heady stuff to read when you're 10], but he could write at a better level than 'The BFG' would suggest.[Such as Edward the Conquerer, or Skin of Nunc Dimittis]
