I predict that Salon will stay afloat. However they will not stop at one pop-up ad per day. It is a slippery slope on which they tread; soon I will have to wade through several advertisements for "Closer" (a movie that I predict will star Natalie Portman in a most satisfying role) just to read Tom the Dancing Bug and that zen-like advice column they have.
I need a bookmark folder called "text coins a word". I've been trying to find that other word you were recently trying to squirt into the blabstream, but without success.
The other thing I can't find is the comment where ogged, or possibly young ben, impresses upon his interlocutor the virtue of leaving clever comments unexplained, on the assumption that everyone can then bask in the mutual tacit getting-of-the-joke.
Don't you just hate it when people write "100% percent," or for that matter "$100 dollars"? I can't believe wolfson has had almost three years to point this out, yet has failed to do so. For shame.
Thanks, eb! Looks like "leaving clever comments unexplained" should have been "leaving clever comments unuttered".
There was one before you started commenting, SB, when I asked for restraint in response to something Sue's partner Kriston said. Different from anything that's been linked so far.
Well done, ogged. Keep up the good work. Now on to Amazon to plug my book.

People say I insist on getting in the last word.

Also, Ogged sucks.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 5:55 PM
Yeah. They do.
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 5:55 PM
And yes. He does.
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 5:55 PM
Are we referring to Ogged in the plural now, td?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 5:56 PM
5 to 3, 6 to 4, apo.

We need to work on our timing.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 5:56 PM
Indeed.

Heh.

By the end of the winter, every post will have 1000 comments.

You'da gotten away with it to, if it hadn't been for those pesky pigs.

Why are there no female political bloggers?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:17 PM
They're too busy doing important things?
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:17 PM
Wait, are a majority of them on the pill?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:18 PM
Tweedledopey, I find your assumption that there is any difference between the way men and women spend their time extremely sexist.
Posted by Tia | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:18 PM
Tweedledopey is the sexiest!
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:21 PM
I find your comment that I am sexist extremely tweedledopeyist!
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:21 PM
I never said you were sexist. I think you're projecting.
Posted by Tia | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:23 PM
I am teh hott.
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 6:24 PM
I wish I were digitally projecting.

Speaking of digitally projecting.

Ogged must be pleased to have written a post of such profundity that it is still receiving comments almost three years later.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 7:14 PM
Fuckin' right.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 7:15 PM
Amen.
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 7:28 PM
"Amen" is not a sexist ejaculation, but might be wilfully mistaken for one.
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 7:56 PM
my ejaculations are all sexist, or at least cockenvaginminded.

32 reminds me of the traditional gospel number, "It's Raining Amens"

Yes, but there's humor, too, in pedantic overexplanation.
Posted by bitchphd | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 8:44 PM
SB, was it this exchange about plicitity?
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 8:47 PM
Or this, linked therein?
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 8:51 PM
Nope, neither of those. But oh, that bronzed moment.
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 8:55 PM
I guess we'll never know.
Posted by eb | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 9:04 PM
Thanks, eb! Looks like "leaving clever comments unexplained" should have been "leaving clever comments unuttered".
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 9:10 PM
Because of this and that, I'm flashing back to the other.
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 9:15 PM
isn't that a 100% percent increase?
Don't you just hate it when people write "100% percent," or for that matter "$100 dollars"? I can't believe wolfson has had almost three years to point this out, yet has failed to do so. For shame.

45 comments on your first post ever! Impressive.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 11:34 PM
If we're going to be commenting on old posts, we need to relive this moment.
Posted by eb | Link to this comment | 01-12-06 11:40 PM
I would never have noticed this if I weren't looking through an export of the site.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 02-12-06 9:52 PM
That's odd. I just got a message saying I was blacklisted, yet here's the comment. Also I see that a month ago I knew this was here. Oh well.
