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

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.

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.

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

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

or even just:

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

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

'Twas my reaction as well. Maybe the SecretHiddenAsterisks near the bottom of the page became a part of the post?

Did it get sufficiently explained to y'all? Basically, everything that I tried to put inside whitefont (and everything thereafter) showed up in the final post as *********. I'd missed the closing quote on "white."

I was the most confused, Katie, and I get it now.

Just so you know, there isn't really an automatic conversion of bad HTML to ***, it's just that the unclosed quote swallows up everything on the page until it reaches another quote, and that just happened to be around the point where the Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks were.

We have Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks?

See, I knew I was missing out by never going into programming. Of course, I also saved having to physically destroy any number of computers that weren't doing what I wanted them to, so I'm going to call it a net win.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Can some of the asterisks be Alyson Hannigan?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Yeah, like the asterisk I'd use when saying,

I haven't really been pursued by many desirable TV celebrities recently*

except for Alyson Hannigan, and I don't really mind that.

She can't be your secret celebrity girlfriend, Nou, if you don't even spell her name right!

It's the Internet. It's caused me to spell "there" "their," after 24 years of doing it correctly, and now this. I see Allyson's name on the board every day, so it overwrote the correct spelling in my brain. I edited.
