Would it be okay to define "everyone" as "everyone that posts to or reads this weblog"?

Doesn't everyone already know the rules to "questions"?

Was that rhetorical, or would a rhetorical question of similar form have to omit the quotation marks?

What is "questions"?

What possible reason, aside from the obvious ones, would anyone have not to play?

What if this blog was somehow transformed into a sophisticated game of Questions?

Adam: If you put a little PayPal "donate to the BMW Z4" link on Teh Funny, I'll donate.

...especially if I get to drive it...

Apparently the new version of Blogger, dubbed "Dano", has one interface which is compatable with IE6+ and Mozilla 1.0+, and another interface (LoFi) which is used for older versions of IE and Mozilla. They also plan to move everyone's blog over to the new blogger in a few weeks time. I guess we'll see how well they've done when we are all forced to deal with their 1337 5ki11z.

I agree about closing the help thing. This ain't so bad after all.

Hold on...

I'm becoming a robot, aren't I?

Damn.

I don't mind you switching the interface, I'm just existentially pissed at the windows-ific-action of all things computerish.

Merely knowing that this stupid, stupid interface exists, and that it will eventually replace the belovedly hideous interface that I came to know and love, will be forever a stab between my ribs of hot pain.

No, wait. It'll be a minor annoyance. Until I forgot that I'm annoyed.

Sorry 'bout that.

I'm sorry about switching to the new blogger. I realize that this has caused some of you quite a bit of pain. If there were any way to switch back, I would, but I don't think there is. At least I only switched over Teh Funny to the new interface. I had to switch over at least one of my blogs just to see what it was all about. If anyone feels strongly enough about my decision to check out the new interface, feel free to come to my house and give me a solid bitch-slap. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

Will-baiting: Time for Sam to clarify position of Jury Nullification: 4 days. Time for Will to clarify position on the "ethic of responsibility" stuff: 5 days. And counting.

This interface really does make ya' wanna kill. Kill!! KILL!!!!

UPDATE: Interface still makes me want to kill. Fortunately, the fish soothe and calm me. Because I can watch them kill.

Is this new blogger version some kind of cruel joke? Is it supposed to be garish and windows-esque? Am I meant to feel less intelligent while I type things into it, or is that just the paint fumes?

Is this thing not publishing, or are Adam and I just that unfunny?

UPDATE: Yeah, Ok, it's publishing. You can all throw rotten fruit at me now.

Lots of stuff that's disgusting is funny. For instance, corpses are funny, as is cannibalism. I mean, who hasn't cracked a Donner party joke in their time?

Some other disgusting stuff that's funny: necrophilia, Missy Elliot, zoophilia, Rosanne, Spam, German people, Twinkies, fat chicks in party hats, poop, Ari Fleisher, rotten.com, Anal Cunt, Gallup, line dancing, MD 20/20, accountancy, pleuresy, hemorrhoids, Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day, hippies, quadriplegics (Bob, Art, Matt, Stew, Peg... y'know), porto-potties, Post-structuralism, snot, Oprah Winfrey, and what you woke up in the last time you had a good drunk.

Yay.

The laughing At sam instead of WITH sam was, if I might say so, a belated and rather abortive attempt at mocking me for me (admittedly) un-funny attempt at humor with the explanation that the "conference on quantitative social sciences" was the joke part of one of my posts.

This horse having been sufficiently beaten, and the corpse being so obviously devoid of humor, I suggest that we move on.

We've been slacking in the funny department recently, guys. Apparently we're not all that funny, or else we waste all our funniness in the real world where it slips away into the memories of those present. Don't forget to save some funniness so it can be recorded and viewed by the world FOREVER... or at least until the power goes out, or the telecommunication lines get cut, or we get hit by an EMP, or the Blue Screen of Death (TM) attacks, or the cat chews through the phone cord, or you spill your beer all over your laptop, or-- you get the point. By the way, what was that last post about the laughing all about? I'm kinda lost on that one.

I thought that this was the room for abuse, not the room for an argument... What's this about coherrent claims poppin up all over the place?

Were I physically (rather than digitally) present, you could see that I put a smoked herring down my trousers at the end of that last sentence to emphasize the importance of silliness' triumphing over the merely coherrent.

Eric and I came up with a Transporter drinking game the other night while we were watching it (me for the 3rd time, him for the 1st). Here are the rules so far:

1. Drink whenever a Rule # is mentioned (n drinks : n = Rule #)
2. Drink at any mention of "The Rules" (1 drink)
3. Drink whenever a car door opens (1 for each door opening)
4. Drink whenever the license plate flips (1 drink)
5. Drink every time the Transporter and the Detective discuss crime he just commited (1 drink)
6. Drink every time they rip a scene from Bond (1 drink)
7. Drink every time the Transporter's ride gets more ghetto (2 drinks)

WARNING: Use these rules at your own risk. They were conceived drunkenly and we often didn't follow them ourselves.

UPDATE (2:31 AM): rules [1-4] by epw, rules [5-7] by eaw (Eric)
