No, not the baked chocolate chip kind. They will never suck. Ever. If the entire world was sucked into a black hole, the only thing left would be chocolate chip cookies. Because they never suck.
I mean the digital variety that don’t sound even as bit as tasty. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t Sometimes browsers accept them, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes javascript creates them, sometimes javascript doesn’t create them. Sometimes a blank value will delete them, sometimes it won’t. All in all it’s smash-me-over-the-head fantastic. I love them. They are brilliant. They adhere very closely to what the internet calls “standards” in that they dance around and mock you and don’t do what they are told.
Actually it’s probably my lously programming but if a bad workman can blame his tools, a bad programmer can find someone or something to blame. Lets blame Internet Explorer.
The only thing that sucks more than cookies are deadlines. I think they are called deadlines because it’s like a finishing line strewn with dead developers. If you stand on the deadline, you can hear faint moaning. That could be the impatient users though. Although they usually come armed with projectiles and pitchforks.
Div’s are annoying too. They float all over the place until you use “float” which is when they deny knowing what you mean and stick 400px to the left of where you want them to go. Would anyone notice if I used a table? Probably. Still, all in the name of advancement. I blame Internet Explorer.
And today is a good day.

“Let’s blame Internet Explorer”
I teared in laughter, especially the way you build up that sentence.

Down with IE! Down with IE! It can’t bake cookies properly.
Firefox treats them like tasty delcacies depending on your settings…

Damn you IE-haters. Let’s whine about how Safari botched IZE’s site for no reason.
Amusing post nontheless.

As much as hating Safari is fun, you get much better reactions declaring you hate MSIE(That is, reactions that aren’t “huh?”).
But don’t hate IE. I would even use it, but everytime I try to run it I get a pop-up from Spy Bot saying “For the love of god, PLEASE DON’T!”.

IE is a terrible baker. Then again, it’s terrible at just about everything.
