Day: September 3, 2003

Due to server troubles, it appears as if I’ll be without a commenting system until next Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. I suppose this could be interpreted as a sign that I ought to re-examine cgiComments and once again attempt to incorporate them here. But I drove myself batty the last time I tried that, and I still don’t know why I couldn’t get it to work. (My only encouragement was getting it to malfunction differently that time.)

In the meantime, if you’ve wanted to comment on any of the posts I’ve made since last Friday — what? you haven’t — or any of my other posts, feel free to drop me a line.

I shall now endeavor to answer some of the questions posed by visitors in my search referrer logs:

  • what does an ichthyologist do?

    • Studies fish.

  • what is the name of the fish in nemo that has a light bulb on its head?

    • Assuming you mean Finding Nemo, it’s probably an anglerfish. An ichthyologist could tell you more.

  • how do i write a comedy sketch?

    • As I’ve mentioned before, the tried and true method is to gather together with others to brainstorm on ideas, consult the Big Book of Sexual Perversions (patent pending), and then add dick and fart jokes for good measure. Voila! Instant comedy. Repeat ad naseum and you might just score a gig with Saturday Night Live.

    Of course, there’s also what I like to call the Gallagher School of Comedy, which doesn’t really subscribe to the whole “funny” idea of comedy, but rather focuses on deep philosophical issues and the eternal struggle of man against melon. If there’s act of fruit vandalism that that man can’t turn into comedic gold, I don’t want to know about it. No, really, I don’t want to know.

Got a question you want answered? The comments seemed to be working again.
