I can take a hint
The first day of the redesign, so many of you wrote to me with compliments that I was really happy I’d done it. Since then, I’ve had several complaints from more readers about several aspects of the site, primarily being able to see the entire post on the homepage and how many comments there were. So I am giving in and going back to the old layout, but with some back-end tweaks to make things better.
On another note, please excuse my absences lately. I’ve been diagnosed with colon cancer and have been in the hospital a bit. I’ve decided recently to chronicle the experiences here, but rather than depress you all (and myself) I will be writing them with the same silliness as anything else. For those of you who knew what was going on, thank you so much for the well wishes; my tests came out clean today. No polyps, so I won’t be needing surgery (yet).UPDATE:
You can finally search everything on this site. Before, the search only looked up posts, but not the comments, Link or Videos of the Day, etc. Now it all shows up! I know a lot of you have been requesting this and frankly, I am surprised it is not the default search on WordPress. Enjoy! -
Sarah Marshall? Forgotten. Big Giant Geek Penis? Sadly, Never.
So a few of my friends saw the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall awhile ago and said that it was really, really funny. How could it not be, especially since it was penned by the same guys that did 40 Year Old Virgin (which was the only Steve Carrell movie until Get Smart that I will admit exists) and Superbad. These are some seriously witty, comedic films that manage to mix it up in terms of pacing. You don’t feel like you should be laughing your ass off all the time, and you aren’t checking your watch going ‘When the hell was the last time I laughed?’
They also warned me about Geek Penis.

I Don’t Have Any Pants, So I Might As Well … Dance?
Last night before I decided to go to bed I happened to scroll through my amazingly cool satellite provider to see what was on (I like to leave the tv on to help me fall asleep so I can wake up four hours later, supremely irritated at whatever is now on, turn the television off with a grunt, and flop over to the other side of the bed).
Lo and behold, a movie that I distinctly remember as being one hell of a good watch. I mean, Tom Cruise and Rebecca deMornay banging on a subway train? Pimps? Hooker house?
I am, of course, talking about Risky Business. The premise is simple. Parents go away, straight-A uptight Republican kid goes kinda batshit, has a bunch of parties, turns his house into a brothel, gets into it with a pimp, all that shit. I mean, when my parents went away for vacation, that is so totally the first thing I did, right after building an atomic bomb in the garage.
The following scene is one of the most well-known from the movie:

So you’ve noticed some changes
And no, I am not done. This is a work in progress. I still have several tweaks to make, features to add and suggestions to implement. Trish gave me a great suggestion last night that I will definitely be adding: making this featured article appear in its entirety on the homepage, rather than having to click through.- I also plan to add back in the quoting function (currently it’s not compatible with what I have, so I have some PHP to write).
- I will be adding polls again
- A whole new set of smilies to add to your comments
- How about adding images to comments?
- Avatars are now handled externally by Gravatars as the same icon can be used on hundreds of sites. If you still want to use a, R or X-rated icon here that other sites won’t allow, simply open another account using another email address.
Other suggestions are welcome.
