For your amusement and edification:
Sometimes the threat of a cockslap is just the threat of a cockslap.
Freud said that, I think.

His pants are neat how they have tassels. You hardly ever see that anymore.
Ceci n’est pas une pipe
That embed is not loading.
SarahW
For some reason it won’t embed if you’re viewing it on IE, but it’s there if you’re using FoxFire.
oh lord FireFox
Even on IE, you can “view source” and pick out the url.

Linkie.
i bet pryor could have found something funny to say about teh ONE.
I felt threatened by that. I’m gonna have to dig the motherfucker up and give him a solid asskicking.
If he’s still in a solid state, that is. Otherwise: fuck it.
Um, how’s about that Shamwow guy? Huh? HUH?
Or maybe (and this is even better) I’ll give him a good, solid trashtalking in comments. That’ll teach him.
It’s ok now. Wigged out my Safari?
BTW, are there still no embeds in the pub?
Apparently Willie Ames ain’t doing so good either.
Have you seen any of this yet? MEP Hannan is like the Patrick Henry of the Eupropean Parliament, or at least that’s the comparison that springs to my mind.
My Favorite bit in from a Channel four followup: Gordon’s Brown’s “funny rictus smile” “like the cold glint of moonlight on a silver coffin plate.”
SarahW, there may not be embeds in the Pub, but just this morning the RSS feeds started working again.
PROGRESSIVENESS!
(Now if we could just get off of Australia time… )
Flash embeds can swipe session credentials.
That’s not an issue on a one (or limited) user site, like the main PW page, but a potential problem on a semi-public site like the Pub.
I also told patients during therapy that their mom was, in fact, a filthy, filthy whore.
I mean, jeez, if I cured them, they’d stop paying me.
d’uh.

That heckler could have choked on Richard’s dick. The blunt force trama could have killed him.
Death threat.
Discalmer; I don’t even know what this means: “Flash embeds can swipe session credentials.”
But I would whine that Ace has a main paige with a half-dozen farking co-bloggers and a jillion open bloggers and they can do embeds without crashing the site ( though there are below the fold rules to keep from slowing things down).
How does he get away with that?
DIscalmer. I feel like Mrs. Spooner.
Isn’t Beck on the program now and a Mormon? Will this make me want to watch his show?
And Beck is wrong about this: “I think Timothy Geithner looks like one of the elves from Lord of the Rings.” This is who Timothy Geithner actually is.
Pragmatism.
Let’s not forget Barney Frank.
“Flash embeds can swipe session credentials.â€
Okay, here’s the deal:
A Flash object has full access to your cookies and such. It can do anything with them that it wants, including sending them off to another site (a similar issue exists for JavaScript).
That’s not a problem for the main PW page, since the limited number of people who are allowed to make posts are all trusted (or should be).
It is, however, a real problem for sites (such as the Pub) that allow anyone (or nearly so) to post.
1) Bad Guy registers account.
2) Bad Guy posts a malicious Flash embed.
3) SarahW views Flash embed while logged in.
4) SarahW’s login credentials are sent off to Bad Guy’s site.
5) Bad Guy now has access to SarahW’s account.
Note that even here on the front page we’re not allowed to embed Flash objects or JavaScript in the comments.
I don’t know how Ace handles his open blog thing, but if he’s allowing random people to register accounts and post arbitrary Flash embeds….brrrr… scary.

Only JeffG can embed on the main page. When I want to point to a youtube, etc, I do a screencap, edit it in photoshop, embed the .jpg and make it a link to the youtube site.
Darleen: good to know.
Shamwow picks up a hooker, refuses to pay (Asswipe), trys to kiss her, damned near gets his tongue bit off, and nobody cares? Humanity people, humanity.
I’ll comment on the story, donald — that hooker deserves a medal.
As I’ve asked co-workers: “If we locked Billy Mays, Vince from Shamwow, and Floe from Progressive Insurance in a locked room with a single knife, who wins?”
Answer: We all do.
Posts are made by fools like me,
But only JeffG can bring a tree.
…
Sorry, Joyce.
The problem (re: embedded videos) is that when Jeff pastes embed code into the blog, it’s getting wrongfully encoded – to wit, the ‘&’ chars are translated to their HTML entity versions: ‘&’ (if that didn’t show up, it’s “& # 0 3 8 ;” without the spaces)
The result is that the HTML for embedded video in Jeff’s posts no longer matches the embedded HTML supplied by youtube, and it doesn’t work on IE. FF is apparently a little more forgiving (correctly or not, who can say), and is willing to decode the translated html and plow on. IE doesn’t.
Irritating to those of us who continue to use Satan’s Own Web Browser. A simple link to the video would work out much better. As it stands, I have to view source, manually find and rip out the URL, fix it, and paste it. So, you know, I don’t.
IE is so non-standard wrt the html specification that I wouldn’t point to it as an example of correct behavior. Just saying, in general.

Do you remember the ancient joke about the guy who tells his doctor “Doc, it hurts when I do this”?
How about the one about the guy who’s banging his head on the wall?
Trust me: you’ll feel much better if you Just. Stop. Doing. That. :-)
All’s I’ma doin’ is cuttin’ and a-pastin’ the embed code.
Beyond that I’m lost.
But this might be the url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di5j13t5xnE&feature=player_embedded
I sure would hate to see CJ John Roberts go all Billy Budd on Harry Reid’s sorry John Claggart ass, no sir, that would be too real.
“Doc, it hurts when I do this�
The driver licensing side of our local SOS facility accepts cash, the vehicle licensing side doesn’t.
The sign over the paperwork filing window tells you to “Make checks payable to DMV.”
Down at the cashier’s window, the sign says “Make checks payable to SOS.”
Welcome to State-run healthcare.
Welcome to State-run healthcare.
Curiously, one would have thought with the tragic death of Natasha Richardson, the usual Hollywood-sotted American MSM would have been running reams of column inches on how if she were skiing in the US and had this accident, she’d probably be alive today
But I guess questioning the obvious drawbacks of Canadian “Healthcare” cuts a little to close to ObamaCare.
Saying “motherfucker” a lot is funny.
Socialized medicine: a monopoly HMO with the efficiency of the DMV and the compassion of the IRS.
Now serving number two.
Blast.
How can anyone not like Progressive Insurance Flo?
She’s so golly-goshdarn happy.
Thanks Jeff – as I say, the links work just peachy-like. It’s only when you paste raw html into the site that it gets mangled.
Ur? I thought you meant Ur http://miserabledonuts.blogspot.com/2008/03/geometry-was-all-wrong.html
Well, at least when Pryor said it a lot. His imitators, maybe not so much.
;O)
“One at a time please, I still gotta deal with this mother fucker who asked about my Momma!”
You know an appearance is going well when you have to get people to line up so you can kick their asses. :)
Speaking of motherfuckers, this guy Pat Oliphant is today’s outstanding exemplar. I’m not a particularly violent person where it comes to other human beings, but woe betide this motherfucker if I ever happen to meet him on the street.
Sdferr,
That Oliphant turd is is trying to out-Ted Rall Ted Rall. With less nuance.
oh. Oliphant hates Jews is all, Sdferr. The Washington Post is cool with it.
I didn’t much like that other Oliphant guy, the Tom one, either. He was an everyday lying douchebag s’far as I could see.
I liked it when Legolas put an arrow through the top of that oliphaunt’s skull. That was cool.
You probably already know this but at the risk of sounding ‹pedant›ic an easy way to find the video address by viewing source is to use your magic fingers to select and copy a bit of unique text near the video, view source, magic fingers find, magic fingers paste, and — wham! — it takes you directly to the spot. ‹/pedant›ry
Yeah, but I heard Freud was hung like a shrew.
