Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I couldn't either, until Anne posted a post after msbelle's (# 965) and then I could read the whole page just fine, only there was no separating line between msbelle's post (# 964) and Anne's (# 965).

Sorry. I put a t /font at the beginning of my post when I saw that the small type had flowed over into my own. I hope that wasn't too much of a bad thing...

Are you ready to be strong?

SPEAKING of the search engine, I would just like to repeat my request that evenutally we're able to search for words of less than 4 letters. And I'm not just saying that so I can search for my own name! There's also ita's name! And acronyms for stuff! THERE ARE A LOT OF VERY IMPORTANT THREE-LETTER WORDS.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A quote nitpick:

Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!
Dawn, 'Crush'

When it's an exchange, I think it would look better if the attribution just had the episode.

like ass - what if someone has a particularly nice ass, but you can't remember who that someone is and need to know - right now?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

it's JZ.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think you could find JZ by searching "asstastik".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The problem is the comma. If I have this right, right now the database of quotes has a field for speaker and a field for episode, so if there's no speaker listed, it looks like " , Episode" and that's also annoying.

I think it's 6 of one at this stage.

if speaker t null then " ," else ""

or whatever the equivalent in PHP is, right? t /naive

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

DX is right. Getting rid of the comma for those cases is pretty easy.


John H - Dec 05, 2002 1:22:47 pm PST #1881 of 10000

Looks right to me. Only you don't need the else to say "else nothing".

if($speaker){echo', ';}

or even just:

echo($speaker?', ':'';)
