oy, dumb waste of time "seminars"

Well, this is the last weekend of online class/seminar thingie-bop, and it's the biggest pile of crap I've ever had to wade through.

In response to one of my posts, someone wrote back, and this was the end of one of his sentences:
"Sometimes we need extra time to do things right, huh? (laugh out loud)."

I thought there was nothing nerdier than typing "LOL"...that's until I saw someone actually type "(laugh out loud)." My lord, what is society coming to?! Ending in a preposition; suck it. I forgot where, but there's some story where someone at some big company fired a copy-editor for fixing a sentence like that...I can't think of the phrase.
