cool this

...i mean being back online. I'm not wild about the name, but yeah...very cool dex

I think

it's a pretty good name - any offers for an improvement?

you freaks

should try to get up a bit earlier. I mean really. Such laziness.

And DS - i'm not particularly keen on the name Dionaaisus either...

Kidding, bru. Nice to see you back.

AdminDesignguy

The new header is way cool!

I must agree TL

Quite stark and distinctive.

Thanks guys

he'll be glad to hear you like it.

Dex?

I've just been luking on the ama side, and see that you and nossie have both updated your forwarding address. Then when I click on your post, I get the 'This user has elected to delete their account and the content is no longer available' message. Was that you or them?

Dusty

that was me - just updated the link, and the thing jumped to the front page. I didn't want that - so I deleted it.

Okey dokey

I hope you moved it elsewhere, because there was some lovely vintage stuff there (something about a pool party, if I recall).

Your comment is still on the front page though. And have you noticed how the home page doesn't have a link to 'Latest Posts and Comments' any more?

Um, well...

No I didn't... it's all gone now. I must say they seem to be slowly but surely sorting out their spam problems.

Dex you NONG!

Dumb ass! You lost "Pool Party"? And all those awesome posts about hitting the highways on the back of motorbike and heading down to Cape Town.

I hate you.

Well Dolce

its time to make a new history.

So seriously Dex

I'm very cross.

If the wrist gnawers want to get precious and anxious and all "it's not good enough" about their stuff, yadda yadda. But I never thought you'd whitewash the past.

Fek Deks. It's like the Nazi's burning books.

Ag Dolce

see below comment to Dusty. And it wasn't anything to do with THAT - I just hated seeing my name on the ama page, and didn't really think about what i was doing.

pffffft

whatever.

I'm in the middle of my cycle of kick-ass. So nothing has perspective. and I have no money for shoes. I'm a little hysterical. Then you tell me you deleted the funniest blog (and blog day) ever. Pffffft. Don't toy with my emotions like that you nasty, horrible man. *sob*

Nice way to start a Tuesday, hey Dex?

Getting nagged in stereo.

yeowser

um. Anyone need a footrub?

Ja Dolce

I'm weeping into my coffee. I didn't even get through all of it.

now now

its still cached in google:

see?

I'll go rescue it if i feel like it sometime.

Yes please

go put it on your iblog.

pretty please.

mm. adminjedi

i like the barbed wire thing. it's very cool.

bit poetry club wrist-gnawer-ish, but i can live with that.

i also liked frallie's word selection.

maybe down the side? dunno.

dig the barbed wire though.

maybe i'll start subjecting you to poetry.

It's settled then

if KC likes it, it stays.

Ooooh - I like it I like it!

The barbed wire is Pure Genius!

yes.

I know.

And even though

it would be great to have some pretty words there, they would ruin the whole balance and aesthetics and impact and things.

Hey! This gives a whole new meaning to Concentration Camp!

I'm now a thinka

What would my 'pretty' words be?

Hate is just a failure of the imagination.

I first read those words when I was seventeen, and they keep coming back to me.

Cool words, Muff

I think mine would be

Fuck it. So be it.

I heard those at about the same age.

Tsk

Here I am trying to get maudlin.

haha ja!

Jy moet konsentreer!

jaja ha!

I'm putting it up in case it gets changed again, and...ag, you know the rest...blah blah blah

I though you were a bookkeepa -

turns out you're a heada-keepa!

ja ha ja!

Dusty

Yeah, what about that head, mmmm?

ha ha

You be funny blogga, ja.

Admin

The site looks awesome, well done. It's much better than the previous one, in every possible way. There was too much negative energy ... look what I found when I typed the old domain name in my Yahoo search engine. The Blogblok.com Rainbowians. Grrr.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Sheesh

Good thing we changed, then.

Yeah.

Adminguy

Cant you write something on the banner like you did for the blogblok banner? That white nothingness is so bleak.

Adminguy

I agree....the whole space looks a bit bottom heavy.....not unlike most of us around here.....something to fill those little spaces on the sides??? Needs a good head(er)..;-)

Ja!

all in good time.

I did, Semi

But SOME people have their resolution so high that... ag nevermind. I'll put it back on when I have some time.

Would you like bunnies with that?

Dex

I saw it when it was up and my screen was fine. Ok. Nevermind!

Yes please. Lightly grilled with honey and mustard.

In Cold Blood - Capote

Beautiful words, but interesting choice of quote adminguy. Also having a Blue Monday?

Well spotted Dusts

did you google it? if not - very impressive. No blue monday, just loved the book.

I cannot tell a lie

I googled it*

The book reviews give it a good rating, and many quote that line as one of the best in the book.

Had to beat Dolce to it

haha Dusty

honesty is overrated, isn't it?

And do yourself a favour and read it.

will do!

Adminguy

DO NOT blame it on my eyesight but the text in grey is too small!!! The rest is cool.

Noted, Noss

seems Dusty didn't have trouble reading it, though...

ahem.

Ag nos

I'm sure it's still Work in Progress.

Let's just sit back quietly and watch adminguy decorate our new home. Then when he asks for our opinion, we'll give him all we've got, OK?

Yeah, yeah...

Ok....I'll shut up, for now...hmmmmmf.

noooo...

the decorating is finished for the moment - and all opinions are welcome! as long as you remember
1) its not 100% flexible, only so many options
2) i probably won't listen to you

its all good!

Technical peanut gallery here:

'minute' is wandering off the right hand side of the page.
'whisper' needs an 'h'

Maybe put the quote on two lines, split after 'them', justified right, against 'one'?

weelllll

ta for typo.

But if i wanted it in the middle.... guess what.... it would'a BEEN in the middle! haha!

But - its not running off your screen, is it? you can see the whole thing?

AG

On my screen, one can't see 'one long minute' at all.

Did say ANYTHING about the middle?

Oy.

This is what it looks like on my monitor:

How's it looking, Dusts

Can you at least see the whole name now?

Yup

Can shuffle to the right a bit if you like. Does it help if I give you a screenshot?

Nah, Its cool Dusts

thanks girly.

GIRLY?!

The last who called me that is still limping.

aww bless

he stub his toe on a rock?

No,

his balance is all out of kilter now that he only has one gonad.

I see this....

My screen looks ok.....

That's what it looks like

on mine too. don't even see the "one long minute" bit.

oiy vey!

what the hell kind of resolution do you people use?

Geez.

Okay will fix when I have a sec...

1024 x 768

so, adminjedi

when will that scruffy little banner at the top of the page be improved/redone? and can we please have pink somewhere and avatars for dolce.

Soon, Chasoo

Real soon. Of course, the new one will also be scruffy.

And if that woman wants avatars, she'll just gave to tipp-ex them onto her screen.

fuck you Chasoo

Avatars?

Pah!

You're the one who wants a picture of some nun dressed in platform boots.

Poor vertically challenged little troll.

Oi!

Follow your own eyes, and see the fingers pointing back at yourself:

http://www.dex.amagama.com/

Duthty

I haven't posted there after this place opened up! Can you say the same?

oh shit i hope not.

Oh yes

Yes, yes, yes!

They won't even let me in there any more. Bloggone.

The Muffin. Has been dusted.

oh.

i thought you posted Grandpa's story somewhere else?

oh fuuuuck. that wasn't you, was it...

Uh-oh. Time for words of one syllable again.

Can't do it tonight though, too much red wine again.

I said bye-bye to ama when theoldmark was born. Then Dolce taught us how to export all out stuff to Wordpress, which a few of us did (ie, me, Kachasu and nossie).

But I kept all my old stuff on ama, watching to see how much traffic it still generated with the amatomu spiders. Over the last two or three weeks, my post on Flutter's Hairless Pussy was visited quite a few times; but I'm not sure if that's why ama has pulled my entire blog. But at least it's all still safe on Wordpress.

And yes, Grandpa's Story is mine.

Despite my mockery of your temporary amnesia/alzheimers, I'm still eternally grateful that you gave up yet another Sunday evening for us, 'kay?

G'night sweetpea.

Blah Blah GUILTY.

I have unanimously decided.

I love it when you get all dominant.

Hunnee better watch out tonight, I'm feeling frisky.

Oh, I forgot, he's not talking to me. He's locked the bedroom door and won't come out until after Thursday's soccer match.

Can't blame him.

His wife is, after all, a convicted criminal. You'll probably also find that all the knives have been replaced with plastic ones.

And - do not play the flirty card with me when I'm wearing a wig and holding a hammer.

OOOOOOh - You're in DRAG!

Hold me back Seymour!

Dammit Dusty

you are just impossibly funny.

Go lied down now, and please do not knit anything in your current intoxicated state.

Nice chatting, as always.

Yes dear.

Thank you too. It woz fun.

Exhibit A, Dusty Muffin

M'Lud

The prosecution is clearly under the influence of narcotics. The defence, Mistress Muffin, has clearly stated that her amagama posts have disapparated, yet the defence insists on bringing in irrelevant URLs to prove his case. Theses links are irrelevant, m'lud, in that the original accusation referred to links to the various permutations of onelongminute's history - which is clearly irrelevant in the latest link he has provided.

M'lud, it appears as if the prosecution is determined to turn the minutes of this meeting into hours.

My case rests.

Irrelevant?!

Your fookin toes are irrelevant. And I quote:

"...so when blogblok started, I continued on Wordpress..."

Irrelevant my ass.

Guilty as sin, you are. The only thing that rests, is your brain.

And I quote:

"Go on - add it to your favourites, and please change any incoming links you may have on other, inferior blog sites (I won't give any names, just follow my eyes DOLCE DUSTY et al)."

What part of "...so when blogblok started, I continued on Wordpress..." indicates any reference to incoming links, huh?

And just you listen here...You've had that Technorati widget plakked in the top right hand corner for months now. and who are the ONLY people here who have clicked on it? You, me, and Dolce. So Back off Buster. You're messing with half of your biggest fan club here.

Oh boy.

Did you, or did you not, at some stage blog both here and there?

Yes. You. Did.

That is the point. And besides, if I lose a fan, I'll just get me mum to start blogging. Then I'll be back up to two loyal fans.

So there.

OK, I plead guilty

But ask that the charge be changed to culpable blogicide, You Honour.

Guilty, I say.

High treason, punishable by tickling until the perpetrator pees her pants.

Now I just need to get to Cape town.. um.. you mind buying me a ticket? In the interests of justice, of course.

Erm.

Sorry, I'm busy until Thursday, training for a VISM (Very Important Soccer Match).

I suggest you get your people to call my people on Friday.
