Take a deep breath, twitchy monkeys.

Posted by apostropher

Unfogged is down, and Ogged says it will remain so until some time this evening. This might be a good time to actually perform your job or talk to your kids or something.

This has been a public service announcement.

Update: The official explanation.

Update 2: Aaaaand it's back.

We'll just move it over here to the Apostropher Liferaft. We might have to start drinking urine and eating each other if Unfogged stays down too long though.

At the Minesh--

Oh wait. That won't work this time.

I've never heard of it on a liferaft: I would think exposure would pull fluid too fast for it to do any good. The Canadian miners in the Springhill cave-in in the fifties survived that way, but of course were in a confined, dark space and probably held moisture well because of it.

That's okay, we were going to be doing it recreationally anyhow.

Well, at least I know it's not my employer blocking the site!

So... Hey, how 'bout that Emily Gould piece, huh?

Well, I know for a fact that these sea explorers survived by drinking urine.

I figured you would know what was going on. Just so long as we stay relatively work safe. Oops, too late.

And as long as people are (ahem) trickling this way, I'll share the link I sent to Ogged, Labs, and Tweety this morning.

"It was at that point Wethey gained the advantage and locked Mitchell's head between his thighs."

It's funny to say that Mitchell "celebrated two milestones" in that fight. Like "knocking your opponent's mouthpiece into the audience" and "causing your opponent to defecate" are standard markers in a mixed-martial-artist's career.

The US Department of Labor Statistics unveiled a tremendous spike in worker productivity in early June of 2008. "We really have no explanation" spokesperson Anita Gettawerk stated.

The real explanation is that ogged s--- himself. I hope he can bounce back from this.

Oh, that's good, I thought my computer was punishing me for some reason. I've been doing my job and talking to my kids all day though, and wanted a break! Hmm, I suppose I could make their dinner.

I actually came here apo to tell you about the giant vagina rickshaw, if you hadn't already heard about it.

Is www.unf.com still up at least? I can't check here at work:

The Internal Revenue Service has restricted access to the requested URL.

Reason: The Internal Revenue Service's category "Tasteless" is filtered.

Ogged! I was afraid you had been extraordinarily rendered or something...

(Oh, hi Apo. What a lovely site you have here, I just love what you've done to the place).

Lemuel doesn't seem to be aware that Tweety spends more time at Unfogged than at his own blog. That said, group wanks often do engender resentment from those not in the circle (jerk). Or something. I don't know. He seems miffed.

It's particularly strange because a couple of months ago, Pitkin showed up at Unfogged and declared his intention to become a commenter there. And was never heard from again.

Public masturbation is not for the faint of heart, I guess.

It might be a bit of a group wank, but the idea that 90% of the comment threads are people praising each other over their witticisms, rather than yelling why the other person is wrong while violently misreading their arguments, sounds like he's never read the comments.

Which is probably sane and healthy.

Posted by: Cala at June 3, 2008 04:17 PM

I don't think yelling that the other person is wrong is sane or healthy, Cala. Jeez.

You really should be more charitable to the insane, ogged, and less judgmental.

Posted by: apostropher at June 3, 2008 04:24 PM

I agree the people in general should be more charitable to the insane, to ogged, and to the less judgmental, but who does "you" refer to there? Is it me? Are you calling me insufficiently charitable?

Unfogged being down does nice things to my traffic count. Too bad I'm too busty to post.

Obamafans want the elderly out on the streets, taking away social security in the first salvo of generational warfare. Zoroaster climbing the mountain, just a bunch of ass festivals. Won't stop short.

36: someone who is insane, ogged, and less judgemental, could be considered to have hit the trifecta.

I think that was supposed to be "busy," but it's true that these enormous ta-tas are making it difficult to type.

Heh, I spent the day applying for jobs and barely even noticed the site was down. Then I see TLL's comment at my place, pop by to see what's up before I go pick PK up at school, and find . . . Apo telling me to get something productive done.

Pwned!

Well, alright then. I'll get us started.

Great graphic from the NY Times about how various demographic groups voted. It's most effective to click through them in order.

(Also, I love that the vulva bicycle is pixelated and that the non-pixelated picture is labelled as NSFW. It's not an *actual* vulva.)

That graphic is great, not just because it is informative, but also because the boxes hop cutely.

Apostropher this stat-boosting behavior is reprehensible.
