Congratulations, you made me snot all over my breakfast cereal. Not from laughter, but absurdity. It was like reading Star Wars jokes

That was incredibly painful to read. chuckg – the jokes were most definitely reminiscent of the Star Wars jokes one finds online. Those hurt too!

Hmm. I actually got most of these thanks to our internship and web class at PVA. But still, count me as belonging to the “I can’t believe anyone thought this was funny” group.

Your blockquote tag is really nice… what’s the script for it?
Jarek Piórkowski | March 20th, 2004 @ 10:44 am |
It’s right there in the CSS:
blockquote {
background: url(dante/left-quote.png) no-repeat top left;
margin: 0;
padding-left: 3em;
padding-right: 3em;
}
BTW, I actually found the jokes funny… Jimmy’s too. Ah well, I knew there was no hope anyway
