Oddly, I just spent an hour trying to figure out why the sidebar of this blog disappears when viewed in Internet Explorer 6. There's apparently a missing tag, or a bad HTML element somewhere, or whatever it is today that causes IE6 to get the vapors.
I say 'oddly' because I really don't give a fuck how any of my pages look in IE. If you're still using Microsoft's abortion of a browser after all suffering and human misery that it's caused, you are a traitor and a Communist. Which is unfortunate, because look what you assholes are using?

I mean, what's up with you dickheads, anyway? This table tells me that at least 64.36% of my visitors are slobbering, knuckle-dragging waterheads. Did you ever wonder why 90% of email nowadays is spam? It's because dickheads like you surf porn sites using Internet Explorer, get viruses, and your computer uses your cable modem to send spam to people who should hate you, 24/7.
Is it really just beyond you people to go out and download Firefox? Do you really not understand that using IE is like going to prison with a naked Angelina Jolie tattooed on your back?
Technorati : Microsoft, Suck it Bill, ÌE
I was playing around with the Mac OS X dictionary applet today. It's that cool bit where, if you hit Control-Alt-D, you'll be given the Oxford English Dictionary definition for whatever word you happen to have the mouse cursor over at the moment. I ran it over a blog entry I wrote a few days ago, and got the following:
An "unsophisticated country person", you say? Sounds like a fairly P.C. definition of a hillbilly. I'm sure that hillbillies everywhere are pleased with the objectivity of that entry, at least the ones that own the Oxford English Dictionary. Or a Mac, for that matter, which I'm sure is the preferred computing platform for hillbillies everywhere.
Well, let's see what they say about Rube:
What the...? Well, that seems a little dismissive to me. Do I need to point out the fact that hillbillies got a six-syllable Scrabble-buster to describe them? And really: Bumpkin? Is that even a word? Dang, dudes, at least try to temper your contempt for a second.
My optimism for a warm welcome from the British folk isn't really stoked by this. "Hello, Mr. Bumpkin, welcome to England. Please be aware that chewin' on wheat stalks is restricted to designated areas. Enjoy your stay."
Pommy bastards.
