Those who would normally view this blog by RSS feed on a tiny screen might consider, hmm, waiting until they are around a larger screen (I know, you want it NOW). The rest of the cranky should simply properly read posts that clearly state a temporary (!) change is coming up.<br /><br />Thank you very much for the original humor (and the hard work behind it), the charm, the weirdness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-38105368858542636322010-01-27T08:40:36.893-05:002010-01-27T08:40:36.893-05:00Am I the only one who thinks of Labyrinth when I h...Am I the only one who thinks of Labyrinth when I hear about the scrapers?

My RSS feeder still gave me a link to the post. Does clicking one little link really ruin your day? Especially when you follow up the linkage by reading the funniest blog on the planet? I'd happily click links if it saves Jen and John from getting scrapped (which is only slightly less horrible than the imaginary medical procedure you think of when you hear "scapers").<br /><br />Keep on wreckin', Jen and John, keep on wreckin'.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952141751557039884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-64641441964288151462010-01-25T09:28:34.308-05:002010-01-25T09:28:34.308-05:00I don't usually read ALL of the comments, but ...I don't usually read ALL of the comments, but today I just had to ... and might I say how hilarious I think it is that there are debates over "offensive" words?

Love love the blog & will never understand the people who insist on the name-calling & excessive nastiness over anything you do.

So I didn't notice any difference at all, and I'm sorry you've had so much hassle from so many mind-bogglingly lazy people. Or if not 'lazy', then far, far too entitled. This site is free guys - if you are giving nothing you can expect exactly that back and have no right to complain if you don't like a change.<br /><br />Anonymous 7:24 - I would say 'suck' is a very, very mild word as well but as a UK reader, I'd ask to refrain from the use of 'c***' - it's considered much more offensive over here and I know of lots of young people who read this blog. <br /><br />I know it's not considered particularly offensive in the US so you couldn't know and please don't take this as a criticism or rebuke - just a friendly request for any future posting. :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601550046188241796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-2272990726347925682010-01-24T13:42:05.167-05:002010-01-24T13:42:05.167-05:00@cc, thank you very much for the helpful visualiza...@cc, thank you very much for the helpful visualization. I will start using that.<br /><br />IA had tried to post a comment about how to get a quick and nice load from my crackberry,but it didn't go through.<br /><br />After the site redesign, I had much trouble loading it. I gave consturctive feedback, and Jen and John were very accomodating. It was still slow, and I adjusted my settings and it is fine now.<br /><br />It does take a few seconds, but I can click a button, entertain myself otherwise for a few seconds and then read my favorite blog with no troubles.<br /><br />while in Blackberry browser:<br />menu: Options<br />select Browser Configuration<br />uncheck Support Javascript (leave prompt on and if a site really requires it, it will ask you to turn it on)<br />uncheck "Use Background Images" this helps the dark background problem, and most sites work best. If you run across one with white font (bloggers - don't do this!) it is easy to turn background back on.<br />uncheck "support embeded media" then it doesn try and fail to load videos and annoying moving ads.<br /><br />Column vies is the best view for a nice readable font that fits the page perfectly. Also you can change your font size in General Properties.<br />and also change image quality to low there for better speed. Never repeat animations.<br /><br />Hope this helps the frustrated blackberry users.<br /><br />I was stunned by the whining too. I am willing to go to any effort to get my daily fix of your amazing humor. The cranks get very tiring, and I only just recently started reading comments again as it had gotten to negative and upset me more than the post lifted my spirits. I am in a better frame of mind these days and can laugh at the sucky cranks again.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051997273269627527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-712271325530573792010-01-24T09:21:18.158-05:002010-01-24T09:21:18.158-05:00I didn't know YOU had done anything.

It's the meaner, hipper "stinks." I'd put it on the same level as "crap" and not blanch at hearing it from a 12-year-old.<br /> <br />That said, it depends on the usage. Saying, "That sucks" is different from telling someone to "Go suck it!" I'd judge from your aggravation that perhaps you mean to convey something about halfway between the two, which sounds both fair and still PG to me.
