Cool. Here's me performing during a recent trip to... somewhere.
Why am I always the last to know about these things?
Also, that was my gay vacation video with McGlynn, enjoy!

@Ha Ha Sound: FAIL!

Also, this is the best commenting feature EVER!
@Conbon: I know what that is.
@Ha Ha Sound: how long have you been waiting to bust out that little gem on us?
Nick, can you disable this function for Ha Ha sound, please?
Boop beep boop.
VIDEO PROGRAM.....WOW GIRL DANCING... THEN IT'S A SPOOF?! DID YOU LIKE MY YOUTUBE LINK?
@Itsjustcatnip: We are so obvious.
Nick, even if the general level of writing isn't as good here as it was a couple months ago, you're doing a hell of lot to improve blogs as a social interface. I am, frankly, annoyed that every blog on the planet hasn't adopted, at minimum, the Gawker Media reply-button scheme. And then there's the URL auto-shortening, the friending, and the home pages. And now this.
You're doing what owners do: worrying more about the medium than the content. And since TMITFMP*, it's probably gonna keep working.
*The medium is the fucking message, people.
@Conbon: Furious George called...
This TOTES wasn't working before!!
(And I'd like to think my complaining about it had something to do with this post! Thanks, IT SuperGays!)
@moff: If McLuhan said it like that, I would have read the whole book.
Awzum!

Five bucks to the first tech-unchallenged person who posts Quasi at the Quackadero.

HEY!... HEY NICK... is it possible to get a list of these "super secret functions™ " on a FAQ page or something?
Thanks. :)
@spiderpug: Your avatar is awesome.
@KarenUhOh: Sort of like torture!
@Conbon: Well, he was a Cambridge man, y'know. Anyway, it's a tough book, but it's so worth it.

All you need to to is find it on You Tube, copy the URL, and paste it.
My predictability bores even me.
