Judge Mental - True that the Dan Rather thing was pretty recent, but how many kids were watching at that time?

Anon, I’m aware of the problem with the Crimeweek links. I chose that method of linking, after a bit of trial and error, because it was easiest for most readers — and by the time the link became problematic, the article was often old news anyway.

Likewise I know some people are still having problems with the graphics, but this template seems to be a problem for the least number of readers. Given all the combinations of browsers, operating systems and monitors, and the fairly limited number of available templates, this is the best I can hope for.

Tell him that you’re not that old, it’s just that you accidentally got mixed up with a rift in the space/time continuum thingey. If he’s good with computers and gadgets, ask him to help you fix it.

Judge Mental, just five minutes ago my son asked me how I feel about the fact that next year in History class, he’ll be learning about events that happened in my adult lifetime.

Hey, I’ve been reading through your archives, and two things:
1)That problem with the ends of comics being cut off? I get that in Opera. Is the problem really just that Wordpress doesn’t know how to deal with images in any sensible way?
2)You’re giving yourself link rot with your crimeweek links, because with each one you’re just linking to the front page, basically. So when a post inevitably scrolls off of the front page, you’re no longer linking to that specific article.

Regarding the Dan Rather “courage” reference: I have to admit that it might be possible for me to be oversensitive to people applying the “hey geriatrics” to things in my lifetime, but I don’t think something that was still happening less than 6 years ago should qualify.

In addition to “what’s the frequency, Kenneth?”, I love all of Dan Rather’s election night ramblings. http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blratherisms.htm

Did the lion get neuticles?

Darn right more muddled, Markus. That’s why that’s not the joke.

“Real man” has nothing to do with what the lion asked the wizard for. He asked for courage and he got two kinds of it: Liquid (or “dutch”) and cajones, gonads, balls — all used as vulgar euphemisms for courage.
