Just a quick post to let you know what's going on around here lately.
Several of you have asked, "WTF is up with the comment thingy?"
To which I respond, "Well, can you be more specific? There are a lot of things up with the 'comment thingy', as you so eloquently put it. And watch your F---ing language."
"Ok, first of all," you go on, "Why am I a weird little robot guy?"
And I respond, "Funny, all the weird little robot guys seem to ask that question eventually." And then I laugh and laugh.
Then you say, "No, seriously. I want a cool little avatar. Not a weird robot guy."
"Oh, that!" I say. "You can get a cool avatar by
signing up with Humor-Blogs.com."
"But what if I don't have a funny blog?" you say.
"No problem," I answer. "Just go
here and select the bottom option. That will allow you to participate in the Humor-Blogs community without listing a blog. It's super fast and easy."
"Neat!" you exclaim. "But how come some people have square avatars and some people have horizontally oriented banners?"
To which I respond, "Check you out, with your big collegiate words like 'horizontally' and 'oriented.'" And then, after reminiscing briefly about my own horizontally oriented college experience, I continue, "If you're a Humor-Blogs.com member and you enter your web site url in the comment form, your web site banner will show up, unless you've specified another avatar url to use."
And then you nod and smile noncommittally, because you're not quite sure what I'm talking about. Then you change the subject, trying to put me off guard. "So what's up with the duplicate comments?"
"Oh, er, that," I say. "Er, I think I've fixed that. Look, I'm just one guy, ok? I can't be expected to catch every single bug before I upload the code. It's simply unreasonable. So you guys are sort of my unwitting beta testers. Exciting, huh?"
"Uh huh," you say. "And I suppose that explains why the stupid
Recent Visitors widget keeps breaking?"
"Ok, that's really not my fault," I say. "Friggin' MySQL keeps corrupting the table for some reason. Anyway, I'm working on a way to make it more stable. Just give me a couple days, ok? In fact, over the next several weeks you're going to see a lot more cool stuff at Humor-Blogs.com. You really should
go there and check it out."
"One last question," you say. "I noticed that yours is the #1 ranked blog on Humor-Blogs.com. That's an interesting coincidence, isn't it? I mean, considering that you run the site?"
And I say, "Hey look, Paris Hilton's uvula!"
