no, the YingYang filter has been activated. Apologize to your friend, but tell him it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Before anyone gets their knickers in a bunch about the last comment, read this. I've loved every moment of it.

I'm with owlhouse on that "unread comments" feature.
And for you zebra-stripe lovers: Fuck off, you slimy cunts (no, I'm not Joe-kin-near).

Also, the comment threads are hard to read because the completely even spacing between text blocks (be it a paragraph or the commenter info) makes it hard to distinguish one person's comment from another's.
I'd suggest a few subtle changes (once kirk returns) that will make a world of difference:
1. Don't do any horizontal rules or zebra stripes to separate comments
2. Increase leading between comment blocks from different individuals. Make sure individual paragraphs inside a comment block are closer together than the leading between comment blocks.
3. Fun idea: Put a number next to each individual comment block. This will make it easier to keep your place as you read long threads.

bill, I've been renting Wii games at the local GameCrazy (Hollywood Video) before I plunk any down. Waiting to try FIFA 08 (09?) but still trying to work with the boy to get all fricking 160 power bricks on Lego Star Wars!
Will try any suggestions on Wii soccer games. Staying away from Mario Strikes coz it does look crazy unrealistic. All the games are unrealistic, but that one's crazy unrealistic.
Also, will immediately plunk down money for any Wii soccer games that come with WiiBoots.

Well, what looked like a promising start to the season has rapidly deteriorated. One might say this season is going to Hull.

It's interesting to see etrader took a whopping 20-point penalty (that's five extra trades that week), but still ended up top scorer by 11 points. I may have to reconsider this over-trading thing.

And I'm talking about the space between comments, not FPPs (which look lovely btw - that's what the comments should be aiming for).

I find the comments are much harder to read now. The spacing between comments and "posted by" information is identical, which makes it hard to easily scan from one comment to the next. A little more spacing from the bottom of the "posted by" to the top of the next comment would help. More leading! More bottom padding!

How about just the deltas? % or absolute change from one week to the next? Or just fun trivia that'll get us riled up? (worst week, etc., all that good stuff you did)

Actually, I did an auto-pick for my team. So, I can thank the server for my Agbonlahor pick. Also, shows how much I know about picking teams. I'm leaving it all to the computer from now on.
btw, how's everyone doing on their Head-to-Head Leagues? As luck would have it, billsaysthis and I are in the same one. Any other SpoFites in our league? I couldn't recognize anyone besides bill. My team narrowly lost by 8 points and we're stuck in the bottom half. Some team that almost half what I did, still managed to win their match because of their opponents even suckier score. This should be interesting.

I had Agbonlahor. So you guys can suck it!
But instead of making Aggie captain, I chose Friedel. So, I can suck it, too!

Hmph. Looks like they gave #9 to bill, and #10 to me. Probably 'cause bill's been there longer. I benched Larsson. I didn't think Birmingham would win either. But Larsson got an assist. Good thing Kalou didn't play. Well, good for me, not so much for Chelsea. Now, they've got both Terry and Drogba out.

NoMich, when he's talking about the ice, he's not just talking about how smooth it is. The ice is basically the platform on which he's skiing. Sometimes it shifts, and he could find himself having lost distance after skiing his ass off. Other times, the ice could break and he could float away or drop in and get crushed. Other times, the sections of ice "rub together" and push up, creating barriers around which he has to ski OR climb over (this includes pulling the sledge that's carrying his supplies). Check out his daily journal for examples. There aren't that many entries. Wow - I was gonna link to his journal but now the whole NORTH site seems to be down. I'm guessing they're gonna point back to his normal bensaunders.com site soon (which has been redirecting to NORTH since the expedition, but is also down now).

And here's the NORTH blog. Ben's sat at a refueling station waiting for his dropoff plane to be fixed. He's currently 3 days behind schedule - he was supposed to be dropped at Ward Hunt Island to begin the expedition Mar 21.

Whether you consider Ben one of us or not, I've still got $100 riding on SpoFi's name showing up at Mile 27 of the SOUTH expedition, presumably after October this year. (Wow, at my last check just a minute ago, all links to Ben Saunders, including SOUTH, are redirecting to the NORTH expedition, the topic of this post.) Also, at the rate the polar ice caps are melting, Ben better step to it, or he might be doing his expeditions by kayak instead.
posted by worldcup2002 at 09:30 PM on March 23
Hmm, doesn't say if this replaces the SOUTH expedition. It would be quite a feat to complete both North and South Pole expeditions in one year.

Arguing Politics During My Vasectomy

Does the ... erm ... procedure, you know, hinder your performance, post-op?
When the gun is firing blanks, is it still as pleasurable to fire it as when you were using live bullets?
Can you still see the blanks? Do they look, urm, funny?
And, of course, I am inquiring on behalf of, uh, a friend. Yeah. That's the ticket.
