I just want it known that I understand only three words in the post.
FYI: Kobe has 52 points through the third quarter. 19-25 shooting.
I'm sure that has nothing to do with the story in ESPN today wondering if he was washed up after knee surgery.
I expected a file named "robots.txt" to be far more exciting. I was expecting to read a sci-fi narrative, honestly.
Where is the joke in this post? I didn't laugh once.
3: He's no Ben Wallace, but he's still pretty good.
Don't you see, Brock? The joke's been inside you all along.
Oh wait, yes I did. I laughed about Labs' coming up for tenure. Nevermind. I'm delusional because I'm still at work -- sorry.
But I do think you should work on a more entertaining robots.txt file.
The joke is that ogged seems to think Labs still has a shot at tenure after all that face-raping stuff.
I think that's the first time I've come up with a smartass answer to a question and been pwned by the asker.
Are people really being denied tenure for face-rape these days?
It's the damn liberal academics. Someone call David Horowitz.
I don't know what's worse: being an academic at the mercy of a capricious P.C. tenure committee, who might arbitrarily deny you tenure just because of a few face rapes (or because you're white), or being in the private sector, where nothing so trivial could hold you back, but where your advancement instead depends on your actual productivity, which, if you're like me and spend all your day reading blogs, isn't very high. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't, it seems.
You seem to have an optimistic picture of advancement in the private sector, Brock.
Because he said that in the private sector, advancement depends on actual productivity.
That's how I know.
But how would you know if that is an optimistic picture?
Am I the only person who expected this post to be about cock? Given the title, I mean.
16: Ben was sucking my cock at the moment of commenting; it seemed productive and made him feel optimistic, wrong though he be.
Surely you've been around here long enough to realize that the titles are useless for determining the content of the posts.
17- what exactly was the cock-related question about which you expected this post to be, based on the title?
We maybe can turn this in to an interesting discussion, despite ogged's efforts to bore us.
I dunno. I guess either some hypothetical question about some friend who had exhibitionist tendencies, or else some version of the shower/grower distinction.
You just want ogged to show you the cock pictures he recovered from the old server, don't you?
the old server
Please, teo, show Mr. Emerson some respect.
21: We already had a thread at least partially about the shower/grower distinction.
And if there's one thing we never do at Unfogged, it's rehash topics we've already discussed.
I'm a li'l becks-style, you guys. Amuse me.
29 is an excellent idea! Go ahead, apo!
At this point I think ogged has the greatest collection. Maybe he should start us off.
35: That cock does not look nice at all.
I'm taking mental photographs of my cock right now, but unfortunately I don't have a camera, so they're difficult to share. You're all really missing out, though, I have to say.
Very handsome, Brock (don't listen to teo).
I'm probably not the best person to judge that kind of cock.
Maybe you should try leading by example.
The cock is reputed to be about 350 years old.
48: That's funny. It didn't even occur to me that it had originally been aimed at the earlier comment.
Maybe it's just because it's quarter to 3 here, but I don't get how 45 is a response to 43.
You don't get how it is such, because it is not such.
By doing something amusing, which will inspire others to amuse you in return.
Post a picture of your cock, obviously.
Alas, I cannot comply with 56. And I don't know what would amuse you, Mr. Teo.
We should be handing these out at UnfoggeDCon.
Then how do you expect me to know what would amuse you?
I thought 43 was Teo asking for a picture of your bewbs.
59, 60: At least it's a start. Try witty banter, or something.
I'm much too tired for witty banter. How about incoherent rambling?
That works. Go for it. Although of course you should go to bed, but, hey. tomorrow's friday.
And I don't have any classes on Fridays! Which means my semester ended today except for my one test next week.
Which will not be a difficult test, and I'm done with everything else I need to do (more or less), so I'm much more relaxed and happy than I have been for weeks.
And (although this would probably be a bigger plus for you than it is for me) it's been unseasonably warm and I haven't even needed to wear a coat at all this week. Bizarre.
Never leave school, young Teo. Else you could end up like me, still at work.
Yay warm!!! Fuck global warming, I like the hot weather.
Then I go to DC to relax and meet blog people, then home.
Okay, 'scuse drunk me, but you're not going to be at the official meetup, right? B/c, bummer.
Yes, unfortunately. One of those nights.
Holy crap, Brock. don't you have a baby at home?
That's right, and all that talk about it was driving me crazy (but I'm okay with it now). I'll be in DC December 9-14 or so, on my way home. Coming back for the big meetup would be wildly impractical, since it's right in the middle of my break when I really should be spending time with my family.
Yeah, boo. But that's okay; I don't tend to do well with big crowds anyway.
Tell your boss you have more important things to do.
Like sleep? That's what the baby's doing right now. (At least I sure hope so.)
Like go home so you can actually see the thing once in a while?
That's probably what I should be doing too. But no.
Sleep, that is, not going home to see Brock's baby. Although that does sound like fun.
But I would be surprised if Brock's baby were at my home.
84- my wife emails me pictures.
Okay, I really should go to sleep. G'night, everyone.
Everyone should know that Bitch is 100% awesome.
B, see, I went home at 3:30 just as you suggested, and the kid was asleep, just like I thought. I should have just stayed here and finished up my work last night. Because now I'm back in the office staring at it, and it's making me grumpy.
More generally, when contemplating having kids, I looked at my schedule and realized I had one half-hour every day free that I could devote to the rearing of children. Since this is self-evidently more than adequate, I agreed to move forward with the conception. Well so far the little bugger has been taking up well more than his allotted time, almost every day! Which is a serious imposition.
I am however keeping a strict ledger, and all those extra minutes he's using now will be subtracted from the time I spend with him when he's a teenager. So it will all balance out okay in the end, but for now, well, it's rough.
I also love the fact that in 99 comments no one has even feigned a response to, or even an interest in, ogged's question in the post.
Also, why is this blog on mountain time? Do any of the bloggers live in that zone?
Didn't you get the memo, Brock?
Also, why is this blog on mountain time?
The original server was in that time zone.
The original server was in that time zone.
Was it? I could have sworn I chose it because none of the bloggers lived in that timezone.
I could have sworn I chose it because none of the bloggers lived in that timezone.
If this was your goal, you had a lot of different time from from which to choose. Why not Chamorro Standard Time?
Huh. I thought I remembered that being the explanation, but it's possible I just made it up.
first "from" should be "zones".
ogged, to answer your question (assuming it hasn't been already -- I skimmed the thread but didn't see anything): you could selectively filter out whatever crawlers you want with a little PHP. Switch the RSS feed filenames to use the PHP extension, then use this list to identify the user-agent strings you want to exclude. Serve those a 404, let the rest pass through. Shouldn't take more than a few lines of code (not counting the list of browser agent strings that you'll have to assemble).
