If you wanted a list, then you're in for a treat.
(1) So, Blogger apparently joined forces with the likes of Charlie Sheen and went on a 20 hour meth binge and booze bender recently. It now looks like Blogger decided to start working again, but not without its consequences - like missing posts, missing comments, and randomly missing images. So my apologies to anyone that may have had their recent comments magically removed from the blog. The only thing shittier than having to deal with that is having to listen to all the Wordpress junkies blabber their "I told you so" rhetoric. You see, when I first started blogging, I naively picked Blogger as my horse and rode blissfully into the sunset of the blogosphere, clearly unaware of the following analogy: Wordpress is to blogging, what Apple Fanboys are to computing. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually keen on switching (I'm sick of Blogger), but I don't have time for all the hoops to jump through in order to make it a smooth transition. It's not a cake walk, you risk losing readers, losing RSS feeds, and multiple hiccups here and there that a million different "tutorials" claim to avoid, yet clearly don't based on reader/user feedback. My point? Leave me alone. The time will soon approach when I come crawling to you, begging you to show me the way, how to make a problem-free switch to the lands of Wordpressing. That time isn't now.
(2) You know how attorneys are totally awesome, right? If you haven't seen the viral videos of Gloria Allred bat-fucking a guy's hand, then you are about to. Rather than show you the original footage, I prefer Norm MacDonald's added commentary. Enjoy!
(3) Bethenny Frankel, of Real Housewives of New York fame, just sold her Skinny Girl Margarita brand for $120 million. Over at Sprocket Ink today, her 1 yr. old daughter spilled the beans about the inner workings of her mom's empire. It's totally worth checking out.
What is Wordpress? I don't want to learn another thingamajib, hell I can't figure out Tumblr!
My head hurts. Pouring a triple shot of Talisker.
I feel you.
My comments were missing and I spent all day playing Peek A Boo with Blogger's stupid "Your comment no longer exists" crap.
I've tried Wordpress before. I didn't like it much. Which is why I use Blogger.
I'm sticking with Pleystaton.
Comments shall be restored by this weekend. Still the most stable platform.
I actually haven't hated blogger. I wish I could do the reply thing, but otherwise? it's been good to me. but WP isn't perfect. it goes down from time to time. and I get so sick of all the WP fanatics. I still don't love writing in it for SI. BUT, blogger is making it so hard for me to love it right now. *sigh*
I don't know crap about Blogger/Wordpress or anything else out there. Hell, I don't blog enough for it to make a difference. And I had a good idea for a blog the other night and I'll be damned if I remember what it was because I don't ever write shit down. And while I'm bitching, I have a headache from hell. If I was a drinker, one bottle of wine wouldn't be enough right now.
Bow before the glorious Wordpress master race.
Over at Apple that smugness is an app. Don't know what to call it at WordPress, but I'm with you. Not ready to leave Blogger just yet. Starting over is such a bitch.
@ Nubian: "Pouring a triple shot of Talisker." This is why you're a star student!
@ Lemons: Yup, it's been a stinky couple of days. I'm sure it will be fixed up soon.
@ Brooke: What were some of the cons you found with WP?
@ Antares Cryptos: I've also heard a brand new platform is on its way. Let's keep those fingers crossed.
@ andygirl: I almost guarantee that if I switched to WP I'd be pissed off about some little things over there too. I mean c'mon, I'm Dr. Cynicism. That's probably why I'll stick it out with Blogger. But DAMN I want me some indented/tree comments! Grrr!
@ Drake: Who will be there leader?!
@ Jonah: lol, you nailed it. The starting over just isn't in the cards for some of us, so I wish they'd just keep that in mind when making fun of us :-)
SERIOUSLY?! NO ONE'S COMMENTING ABOUT THE BAT-SEX?!
1) Get a life people who couldn't survive without their blogs for less than 24 hours. What do you think reality tv is for???
2) I'm disappointed 'cause I though the video was gonna be two bats doing the dirty...
3) I didn't know that you ran with the likes of the real housewives. You obviously lead an exciting life!
I posted about 100 comments...where did they go?? haha
Blogger was down? Really? *averts eyes trying to pretend he didn't notice or have a meltdown because of it*
I saw this on the news when it happened. Alred is quite the bat handler isn't she? This entire sequence was shown with two little girls providing some of the commentary and watching this exhibit with saucer eyes. While I am as offended as anyone by the behavior of a lout, I would have probably forgotten the incident and spared the children the chance to be on tv with the lovely Gloria demonstrating correct bat movement. I just wish she had demonstrated fellatio and gone too far.
@ laughingmom: My wife runs with the likes of the real housewives, which in turn means that, yes, I too now run with the likes of the real housewives. That should be a poster for the advertisement of marriage, right?
@ Bearman: Quiet you! Okay, you have a leg to stand on this time... but I'll be back!
@ dbs: Yea, apparently - I don't really know. *teeth still chattering, head involuntarily shaking*
@ Linda: lol! Poor, poor girls.
It's somewhat disturbing that those two were able to keep such straight faces during the bat-sex demonstration. Almost like it wasn't something unusual to either of them.
I wanted to see the looks on the girls' faces as they were exposed again to such degradation. But they didn't show that.
I don't subscribe to reality TV. Is there a channel for that?
I typed out a comment and posted it yesterday and it disappeared. That's how my whole week has gone.
Leaving the comment on bat-sex to Denny. He would more relate.
@ Vinny C: For real! This is what I think was going through their heads, "Ugh... doing this AGAIN? It's so different when you have your clothes on."
@ Brent: Actually, on the Daily Show, they highlight one of the girls giggling when Allred says "rear end."
@ Meg: I've had those weeks, where the whole world just rips everything away from you. This is what alcohol is for.
@ Nubian: True, very true...
The Allred thing....totally engorged right now.
So Gloria can fuck a dude's hand with a bat in front of two minors, but she can't say, "ass?" I'm glad she has some standards!
I made the switch a year ago. Yes, you can lose people, but you're a good writer. They'll find you. Since you own your domain, you can point it where ever you like. And the feeds should still work. I use WordPress on a private host, but my feeds are still where they were when I used Blogger. Yes, I lost subs, but it was my fault. But I got better. And I made friends when I asked people to help me out.
I'll stay with you, Doc.
That's some hot bat-sex. Arguably the hottest I've ever seen. It makes the Shake Weight commercials look like softcore.
@ Denny: There's the Denny we all know and love.
@ Opto-mom: Right?! At least she's classy!
@ Fred: Well shit Fred, I got nothing witty to say to that - simply thanks man!
@ Kev D: Gloria Allred. Making the Shake Weight look like softcore. Please dear god you must put that on a T-shirt and sell the hell out of it Kev. PLEASE!!!!
Half the comments I've left for people are missing. I was beginning to get a complex, and I thought maybe they were deleted on purpose - but then I found out it was a blogger issue.
@ meleah rebeccah: Actually, I went around and stole all your comments and posted them randomly on many of my past posts. I'm jealous like that.
AhahahahHAHAHahahHAHha
