@freelancer: Who fucking knows? I post a musical link and the person who mentioned the song gets the h/t/… Assholes. This whole new site thing has problems. I am sure they will work it out eventually so I will not be bitter..

I posted this earlier, but the new site eated it. Perfect for an open thread: Dick Around, by Sparks.
I created a Userstyle that makes the comments wider and comments font larger. I also wrote a greasemonkey script that will clear out the blank lines in comments. I don’t have a greasespot account, so it’s embedded in the style above.
Is the pie filter broken for everyone?

@Old Dan and Little Ann: So does your mother, but we don’t bring it up in polite conversation, Jeez.
It is for me – I noticed when reading an old thread that I could see the comments of a person I’d pied long ago. Then I realized all the pie filter stuff had disappeared from the bottom of the comment box.
I sure hope THAT gets fixed quick!

@Omnes Omnibus: well I lubs ya, we always have some pretty nifty musical discussions you and I, and yeah, I have no idea on who FP’ed this and it’s even stranger for me to get a h/t since most of what I post here is barely tolerable snark or outraged hyperbole… yet I keep coming back because damn near all of the conversations up top and down below are worth a read.

Elvis posted it because he is God and he loves us.
Thanks for earwig earlier this week. Hadn’t heard “Jane’s Getting Serious” for maybe 15 years, and never saw the video. RIP radio station WHFS in DC area that used to play that kind of stuff.
Just caught the tail end of “O Brother Where Art Thou” on AMC. They chopped it unmercifully to add commercials, but what a great pic and soundtrack.
@dance around in your bones: I just looked at the code and I think it’s not an easy fix. There was some information embedded in the HTML that is no longer present, so the pie filter doesn’t know where to search for the pie-ee’s name.
I’m not looking forward to threads full of victory and cudlip, or worse.

A panting messenger enters the dungeon at an undisclosed location. “Lord Cheney!” he ejaculats “The priests of Zuul have finished the rites.”
“Finally!” the dark master cries, rising to his feet “This interminable waiting is at an end.”
The Lord of Deceit turns to the messenger, ecstatic joy making his twisted visage even more hideous in the dim light. “Ten long months and finally it is ready. With the heart of Osama bin Laden resting in my bosom my evil shall know no bounds!”… KAABLAM!!
The messenger slumps to the floor, his face a mess of bird shot, a moan issuing from his mouth. Cheney, whistling a Justin Beiber tune, walks towards the exit, he stops, turns, walks over to the messenger, kicks him in the balls and asks “Ever consider being a lawyer, kid?”
@Comrade Mary: Oh noooo, I barely escaped a srsly evil earworm when I clicked on piratedan’s link, or maybe my eyes still see lalalalalalala… But the Pretenders are one of my favorites. Sigh, so much vinyl, so few ripped.
Apologies if this has already been posted, but the hate brigade seems to have inspired another horrific murder:
A 32-year-old woman from Iraq has died after being found severely beaten in her US home… The daughter, Fatima Al Himidi, told KUSI-TV her mother had been beaten on the head repeatedly with a tire iron, and that the note said “go back to your country, you terrorist.” … The family had lived in the house in San Diego County for only a few weeks.
OMG! Breitbart releases tape of Obama’s ma dancing!

@Gretchen: There’s a browser addon called Greasemonkey that allows you to run custom scripts on specific pages. Commenter named Cleek has developed a script for this blog. It no longer works after redesign, but I have tried to fix it up.
Keep in mind though that those scripts can potentially do malicious stuff on your machine so get them from people you trust. If you don’t trust me (and you shouldn’t trust random people on the internet) then you should wait for updated version from original author.
Yup. Authorship is on the VERY LL corner when scrolling down the FP, but disappears when you are in the thread (or toggling forward or backward through threads once the comment fields are open)
As expected, my Troll Filter is broken too, but there’s only so much WP can change things, and looking at the html, it doesn’t look too hard to fix. I’ll have it updated today or tomorrow.
As always, click on my name to get to my crappy blog to find it.
