Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. Unless! maybe it has something to do with the archives being rebuilt and comments being closed for that entry (though they're closed for all entries prior to 5/18/06)? Becks, are you reading this?
6 - Yeah, I need to fix that. I think that has to do with me telling Ben to have his archive script close comments, not realizing that didn't just keep people from adding new comments, but removes the comment link.
I changed the template so that if comments are open, it displays "Comments(N)" as the link to the comments page. If comments are closed, it displays "Archived Comments" as the link. If we forget to rebuild the site after doing an archive, it might show up wrong but, either way, the comments will still be accessible for each post.
IIRC, the "Soul Patrol" were a very nasty bunch of hooligans who followed Cardiff City and carried box-cutter knives before it was cool. Good to see that at least one of them has grown up a bit.
You're just jealous. In fact, I think this entire raccoon business is just a ruse to make it seem like you'd only take me with the mask and the cucumber, when in fact, my love for Taylor is killing you inside.
Hey, I didn't say Taylor shouldn't win or that he sucks or anything like that. Like what ya want.
I just questioned the use of the word "soul" in reference to him, it's not applicable, it's just not. What are they teaching you kids nowadays anyway? I think you need to go watch the film Wattstax and then get back to me.
Oh and adding a (faux) fur coat to your mask and veggies outfit would help a lot too.
Geez, keep it down, will ya? No need to make such a big deal about it!

Also, you misspelled "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!".

There's no pleasing some people.

Try adding more raccoons.
Posted by M/tch M/lls | Link to this comment | 05-25-06 3:39 PM
It's okay, M/tch. Lucky for me your mom doesn't take after you, because I don't have any raccoons.

The link in 5 goes to a comment thread inaccessible from the post itself.

Lemme muck with the database...

Actually, it's a template issue. Fixing it now...

Sorry you have to settle for my mom instead of me, Tia, but don't feel bad, at least you get a M/lls.
Now I might reconsider if you agreed to wear a Lone Ranger mask and started washing all your food before you ate it.

Apparently the big news across the pond is that Hicks got more votes than Reagan. The Telegraph uses the occasion as an opportunity to take a swipe at the electoral college.

I watched one of his performances on the american idol site, and I've got to say, I'm not feeling the sexgodness at all.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-25-06 9:04 PM
Oops, sorry.
Posted by bitchphd | Link to this comment | 05-25-06 9:14 PM
Yeah, well my extremely attractive opera singer friend saw only the finale, and her comment re Taylor was "cute!"
Posted by Tia | Link to this comment | 05-25-06 9:27 PM
Okay, but where does she stand on the important issues, viz., appropriate opera attire?

21 -- what role does your friend's hottness play in lending authority to her judgement re. Taylor's being cute?

TMK, that's the well-known Takes One To Know One principle.
Posted by mrh | Link to this comment | 05-26-06 6:37 AM
Tia, I take your silence to mean that you won't be putting on the mask and washing cucumbers?
So I guess the title of this post is just a big lie, huh?
Posted by M/tch M/lls | Link to this comment | 05-26-06 8:25 AM
Also, putting the term "Soul" anywhere within a ten-mile radius of that Hicks fella is just plain wrong.
Posted by M/tch M/lls | Link to this comment | 05-26-06 8:26 AM
M/tch, if you want me to wear the Lone Ranger mask, you're going about it entirely the wrong way.
Posted by Tia | Link to this comment | 05-26-06 12:05 PM
I have to pretend Taylor Hicks has soul?
No deal.
Some things just aren't negotiable.

That's more like it! WOOOOOOO!!!!
You know it just occurred to me that Taylor Hicks' hair is pleasingly raccoon-like.
