Comments on: Links gone wild! http://gearino.com/index.php/2008/05/29/links-gone-wild-28/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 18 May 2012 23:44:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: John http://gearino.com/index.php/2008/05/29/links-gone-wild-28/#comment-2556 Fri, 30 May 2008 14:45:13 +0000 http://gearino.com/index.php/2008/05/29/links-gone-wild-28/#comment-2556 Heck, I just noticed that not only are the sound effects gone, but animated, typing Dan was eliminated too. Now he's just a static image glowering blankly at nothing in particular with his fingers permanently poised above the typewriter. What a bummer! A cost-cutting measure perhaps or did you change website vendors? Maybe the new geeks weren't impressed with the charm of animated, typing Dan and the obvious appeal he had to some of your devoted readers. Arrogant bastards. Did they even advise you before they mutied and lobotomized your cartoon image? There outta be some kinda quid pro quo here. How about spellcheck for the COMMENT box? Or maybe you can load some kind of voice file that opens with a howdy-do whenever we visit the site! Maybe you can get Alexander Scourby or Richard Kiley to provide you with an appropriate greeting: "WLECOME to Words Assembled Well!" Yeah. That's the ticket. I'm getting goosebumps here.

The decision to turn it off was a good one. The typing sound was annoying. The decision to turn it off was a good one.

I didn't know I liked it so much until it was gone. Hey, now that y’all have pointed out to me that the sound is missing, please bring it back. I didn’t know I liked it so much until it was gone.

Wikipedia says a Yankee dime is a kiss. I if win a kiss from a dude, that dude needs to be Leonardo DiCaprio or Sanjaya or one of the Hansons. Gearino's too swarthy and manly lookin for me. Although, G.D. didn't actually say he'd be the one osculating he winner, did he? Gearino, how were you gonna work that out? Suppose Uncle Frank had won - then what?

Melissa beat me to the punch. And it's only 9:45 AM. Maybe there are some others...Hmm... Aims to get to the truth in a stealthy, clever way? Nah. Is run by a man with a full head of hair? Low blow, sorry. Includes mundane links? Wrong again. Aha. Purports to concern itself with intelligence. Sometimes. I guess Melissa gets the worm...but wait...the CIA site's sound effect appears to be that of computer keyboard typing...not the Royal. Let's go to the tape, sports fans. Damn.
