Why does internet explorer put big pink frames around all my picture links? I hate that.
American Idol Rewind: nevermind why it’s on four months after the show was supposed to be over for the year, why does it exist at all? Traces of AI (it works on several levels, I guess) are on every friggin’ night on every channel during the stuff, constantly recapping, uncapping and building model ships inside everything. Who, that’s interested, could possibly not know everything by now? There are things we still don’t know Richard Nixon did, but only because he didn’t want us to know. The American Idols want you to know. And you want to know about them. Pay attention! It’s a lot cheaper than paying for their albums! And probably only slightly more harmful to your mental well-being. The sooner you soak this up, the sooner society can rinse it out or some clever simile-metaphoric language like that. See, it’s bringing me down, too.
People still buy albums, right? I’m not supposed to take “I Tunes” seriously, am I? Whatever happened to audio cassettes? Those were neat. Hey, want to come over and watch Gremlins on my new VCR? I had to buy a new one after my Vectrex overheated and caught fire again. That’s some serious processing power. You may think me old fashioned, but this show has rewind in its name. I bet it throws to commercial with “stay tuned!”
Speaking of the early 1980s, this person goes back there for haircuts. I’m sure while this person was popular I got sick of that joke really fast, but thankfully I have forgotten. I wish I could forget everything, but Rewind’s not about to let that happen. I can’t remember when my mother’s birthday is, but I’ll always remember that Justin Guarini kind of looks like Richard Simmons.
“Exclusive 2006 interview.” So this isn’t even about the most recent atrocities. And it’s on for an hour. Then it’s on again. Are these people truly so fascinating? Even the guy being interviewed looks bored. He also appears to be bleeding from his scalp, so I probably shouldn’t make assumptions based on one picture. Alas, this is the only picture on my entire hard drive of this person, so I have no choice but to believe he’s either just been shot or had a poorly executed lobotomy. Someone with good aim could do both.
Justin’s a “he,” right?

How do I know I can trust you?
Yamamanama sez:
Someone said he looks like Sideshow Bob.

how to get rid of borders on your images, if it’s really a problem and not just an alt-tag non sequitur—
the host of said lesson, “draac.com”, is like an internet time tunnel to 1998; do not miss their “laugh-in”. Take A Break And Enjoy Some Humor !

For some as yet unknown reason Internet Explorer ignores that particular command when it goes through wordpress, and presumably other css-based devices. The best I’ve been able to do is shrink the border to single pixel width, but it’s still annoying. Similarly, the famous Fire Fox no longer seems capable of handling spontaneous font color changes. But look! I get to have perforated borders!
And do please forgive that rude “moderation queue” bit. It’s an automatic function, activated whenever more than one link is attempted within a comment and in every one of the 51 cases before now it’s been totally appropriate.
Yamamanama sez:
Heh. Wow.
I think Sideshow Bob is a better singer, though.
Eeplivopu sez:
Oh yeah? Then why isn’t he Mainshow Bob?! PAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HEH HEH HO….
