@Big D

I’m doing a navigation experiment right now on internal pages. I ran some tests and I’ve found almost no one clicks on those links. For now (and possibly permanantly) those will still be available on the home page.

Yah, I’ve noticed that too, now that box only appears on the main page. It doesn’t appear on the archive view or on any of the articles.

Vic, I’ve noticed for the last few days the “Latest Comments” box has disappeared from the right-hand side there. Is this a permanent thing? I’ll miss it if so: there are a number of Rantin’ regulars whose posts I’ll check out if I see their names no matter what thread they’re on, and quite often I’ve found myself appreciating a thread I might not normally have bothered too much with.

I had no original point. I was bored and decided to have a little fun with ambiguous and semi-humorous statements.

True Joshi your comments were vague, was I off the mark?

What was your original point?

@790

Okay, I think you’re confused about something. Please, copy and paste exactly where I started a debate with you about Obama. Because during your arguing with SIN197UM, I made a total of two comments, neither of which were “debating”.

Hey 790…seriously…”V” is on ABC. Do you expect anything else from them?

By: Ken J

Ken J — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:35:48 +0000

Man, all of this failed attempt at wit is giving me a headache! What the heck were we talking about again? Oh, right, V.

Damn, ABC.com won’t have the pilot available until saturday… I would download it, but searching for V comes with everything except this new V, lol.

@Joshi you probably shouldn’t start up a debate with me next time on obama.

And you are sleeping , your asleep to the reality around you.

Aahh aahh,,,read the top sentence again before your next comment to me,,, Thanks.

@SIN187UM,,,

“see i this makes sense in regards to your hate for obama. YAWN.”

Learn any new obama songs in school today? Btw you sound tired,,,

I this makes sense?

Oi vey.

When the hell did I deny history or “the obvious”?

I didn’t think sarcasm tags were really that necessary in this instance. Please just take all of my comments made tonight as the comments of someone who is mostly bored right now and should by all accounts be sleeping.

790 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:35:52 +0000

First let me disclaim that I don’t believe everyone here is “thick” with that said,,,

@Joshi, if you think that my comment means I believe obama is a space alien you are totally missing the point.

@Joshi, people like you that deny history and the obvious are cowards.
Remember that in the future,,,

Rock on guitar hero!

@Zipper Stevens…

Got some bad new for you about the missing Senator.

Adrian Pasdar (Nathan) was given the heave-ho from the show just before his last episode was supposed to air. Read about it at Entertainment Weekly’s website yesterday.

That sux.

I don’t get it who needs a green card?

Wait… I… I think 790′s trying to tell us something. Take all of the words in capitals, re-arrange the letters and you get:

“Electrocardiograph persona-non-grata helmsmen likewise humus eyes.”

Dear god… we’re all doomed!

@SIN187UM,,, see if this makes sense,,,
I’ll capitalise KEY words…

(At a time of political TURMOIL, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of HOPE and reconciliation based on compromise and PROMISES to marshal technology for a better future that will include UNIVERSAL HEATHCARE.

The NEWS MEDIA swoons in admiration one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question, “why don’t you show some respect?!”. The public is likewise smitten except for a few nut cases who circulate crazy rumors on the internet about the leaders ORIGINS and intentions. The leader, undismayed offers assurances that are soothing if also just a tiny bit condescending, “Embracing CHANGE is never easy.”

So does that sound like anyone you know? Oh wait did I mention the leader is secretly a space lizard who’s come here to eat us,,,)

Those comments were written by: Glenn Garvin, Chicago Tribune…

They sum up my thoughts rather perfectly on the subject…
