The simplest answer is usually the correct answer. And so I thought I'd figured out the dead comment problem: Why, Elisson had screwed everything up when he posted here! Made perfect sense. Stumbling around my templates in a drunken stupor with a Sazerac in hand, having sport with the deluded Christer, sabotaging the Works. Oh, yes.
Then I realized, Hellfire, them comments went tits up the post before. The one I put up in which I, somehow errant from the mission at hand, decided to threaten would-be mockers. Comment bashers. It really sucks letting E off the hook, but I apparently have no choice. That's okay. He's a walking catastrophe. I'll get him next time.
But. But. Hmm. Hmm. What do Occam say now? I would submit the simplest answer is this: the very might, the power, the force field of my threats caused my comments to clam up. It's the only thing that makes sense. Because I explored my template code. I seemed to remember having a fairly good handle on that stuff a while back. But to tell you the truth, I'd sooner translate cuneiform, or runes, than the bug splatters I was looking at. It doesn't help that I've had a few folk insert some boutique code in there, either, to assist me in my spam wars. And you never knock an ally, but my templates have taken on a Rube Goldberg aspect. I see baling wire. And Band Aids. Chewing gum.
Anyway, the comments are fucked, and from a karma standpoint you brought it on yourselves. My aura apparently melted the wiring.
To those of you who have sent comments via e-mail, and I mean the females, thank you very much! I've never tried that, X, but I measured today, and I think it will fit/work. I may keep the comments inactive for a while, actually.
Test. Heh.

Posted by: Lisa at May 17, 2006 6:10 PMDamn man, feed the monkeys and the mutant! They caused the comment pucker factor. 'twasn't E, either one of the E's. Ones out of town, and the other's out of his mind. I'll let you figure out which E is which. Neither is smart enough to screw the pooch. Feed the monkeys... keep 'em happy. They'll crap on your noggin' from high above while swigin to the trees with the greates of ease, lest you tend to 'em.
And they'll giggle at the sound of the splat and the look of "fuck me runnin'" on your face. One of 'em, yes, one, will say, let's do it again... That was cool.
