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

There should be a long, clearly distinguishable pause after "Sir," the way I'd say it. The other would be all run together. Let's have Scrappy check her tape for it, she's a professional.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

On the sounds page, it's listed as "Jimmy Olson jokes are." The actaul sound file won't open for me, though.

I'm going to find the tape, and listen to it, and I'm going to call Rebecca and have her listen too.

I don't object to your rigourousness, ita, really I don't, I just look at that line and I know it's as wrong as a wrong thing on National Wrong Day, and I just think everyone should just see that too. I'm not very coherent or reasonable today.

Thanks for the SQL by the way.

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

But DX is right -- what I did was put it in the hands of the browser. But there has to be another way.

But isn't that the way it was at WX? I know that the Forums page on WX only updated manually until I changed my browser setting to "every time I view a page." And even then, the only time it's a problem is when you come out of a thread. The Message Center will refresh itself given enough time, and if you can't wait for the refresh interval, you can hit Refresh manually.

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

and I'm going to call Rebecca and have her listen too.

Shiny.

I just don't really wholly trust the transcriptionist, I have to say. This is the man for which the phrase "editorial cuteness" what coined.

By John, I admit. But I'll stand by it.

"editorial cuteness"

Oh yeah, the guy whose fault it is that when you search for "star trek" in Mister Pointy you get a false positive from this:

Xander enters with a young hunky blond man (wearing a red shirt -- Star Trek fans take note)

Thrive to spite them

Okay, I have IE open and Mozilla.

With IE I can only read the board through Read New. Because on IE with Message Center it tells me there are 2 new Messages in Bitches and through Buffistas Home it says there are 5 new in both Bitches and Natter. I can't logout either.

However with Mozilla it seems to be keeping up with posts.

ita turned off the caching, so it should be working as it was before.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone with IE currently open and being sulky, clear your cache. The code is back to what it was before, so it's just the last remnants being balky about quitting this mortal coil.

John, while I can see the trek reference bothers you, I doubt he transcribes with search engines in mind.

Oh yeah but that's going too far. If he describes Buffy's expression as "pissed off" where Joss had put "exasperated" then that's OK, but when he's trying to be funny and clever, and he's writing

I have merely transcribed what appeared on my screen, with help from the closed captions.

at the top, he's making me mad.

But I'm just mad because I only logged in to say I couldn't find my tape of The Zeppo. It's at work. But I know I'm right. But I can't prove it.
