"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Nutty Jane, I thought you were handy. Apparently you're not toesy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Somebody told me once that the toe-taping thing is a myth, and you're just as well-off not taping.

I broke my toe once. I pretty much could not walk if the toes were not taped together. When they were taped together and I wore the right shoes, I could walk with no pain whatsoever.

Speaking of People From The Boston Area Who Are Moving I just got a call from Emily. She was way over in Humboldt, Nevada and bearing down on Winnemuca. Or something like that.

She was asking for Big Sky music recommendations.

I pimped the Allman Brothers. But for nighttime driving, Neu.

Punishingly Intricate

Toe taping comes up somewhere in buffistas at least once a week!

Quick question (that might be stupid but I'm willing to risk my dignity to get a quick answer), what do you call the part of a website that stays the same when you click through the website's pages? Like here it would be the buffistas logo and links on the left.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Nutty Jane, I thought you were handy. Apparently you're not toesy.

I was leaping across the piles of crap in my new apartment to answer the phone. There was a chair leg in my way.

Although, not to puncture my handy myth, but I did give myself a hell of a "through and through" bruise on the knuckles of my right hand. A swollen spot between the index and middle knuckles on my palm, and between the middle and ring fingers on the back of the hand, thanks to my ability to crash into walls with desks in hand.

So it's more like demolition derby handiness than This Old House handiness.

no, I don't think. It would refer to the header and, say, some stuff on the side, and maybe a footer collectively. Everything that stays the same regardless of the page you have open. I really feel like I should know this! (But, I haven't really written about a ton of web apps...in my defense.)

I'm afraid the next time I see you there will be hooks on the ends of your arms.

Are you talking about a webpage with frames?

We refer to the sides as the gutter, and then headers and footers at...well, the head and foot.
