All your comments are belong to us

Close readers of Public Apology may notice that it looks like all comments dated previous to this post are no longer available. That's because just now I switched my comments function to Haloscan, on the advice of that idiot Macek, who has been on my ass ever since his boy Angry John Sellers went on hiatus.

In truth, your comments remain, and can be viewed by selecting the permanent link. It's just that installing the Haloscan code to my template overwrote the tell-tale number alerting the reader that there are comments to be had on pre-existing posts.

Thanks for nothing, Macek. You're on my list.

UPDATE 4/11: Your comments are gone. Thanks for the memories.

Yang:
"I was 21, stupid, and wanted to fuck Jaime in the butt; I wasn’t about to let a $400 tab get in my way." TuckerMax.com

A.B.B. -- Always Be Blogging

In a late-night e-mail, my prolific friend Hoffman reminds me that I'm not keeping up with my blog entries. Thanks to the miracle of the "img src" tag, I can "repurpose" content not my own and appear to be maintaining my own personal media empire.

In that spirit, I offer you Hoffman himself enjoying a rare moment away from the computer.

(Sorry ladies, he's spoken for.)
