Strictly speaking, my hair doesn't currently look like that. That's just its preferred median state between freshly shorn and borderline white trash. When I cease to look like a Beatle and start looking like Jeff Foxworthy, it's time for a shearing. I had it hacked off just before Christmas, so I'm good until April or so.

It works for John Travolta, too. And Marcus Cole. Boy does it work for Marcus Cole.

AS AN ARROW.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO!
John Travolta shall NEVER be in the same catagory as Johnny Depp. John Travolta...yech. And not due to his looks...for things he has said! Yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck *goes to have shower for even mentioning John Travolta's name*

My hair is now "a rather ugly sugary thing constructed in five dimensions". What? I didn't mention whether it was me in this universe or not, did I? :P :mrgreen:

[Zeke]

Opium, I removed about half of your string of Os because it was deforming the thread. Please make sure any desperate cries you make in the future are wrappable.

What are these things Travolta has said?

[Draknek]

I'm currently growing my hair, out of laziness. (But also out of my head.)

*carefully sidesteps the celebrity discussion*

[Xeroc]

I've always had short hair, and it's never been anything real creative, either.


*also doesn't comment on the debate*

[MaverickZer0]

One reason I'm growing my hair out is out of laziness. The other reason is I want to see how long it'll take to wash the purple out.

Two and a half months and counting.

*jumps out of the celebrity debate for fear of already having said too much*

Okay...how do I make them wrappable? Meh, I'll figure it out! Or will I?

Anyways...Travolta said some very disparaging things about a certian country because public opinion feels that Travolta's relgious belief system is often more about money instead of truth. Then he took one case of standard, nasty bullying that he had heard and turned into the whole country turning onto a Nazi state. His analogies did not stand up and he logic was totally out of line in his comments. Accusing a country of being a Nazi state is a very horrible thing to do, esspecially a country that is democratic, has freedom of speech, and is one of the G8 nations.

Um, guys? You can stop scurrying away from the "debate." There isn't one. I wasn't challenging Opium. I honestly had no idea what the man said, and I was asking her. I still don't know what he said because she was so tactful. To avoid making you all any more nervous, I'll take it to PM from here. Just relax.

Opium, the wordwrap used in browsers doesn't split a word unless it has a place to do so (namely a punctuation mark). As a result, your NOOOO couldn't be split, so it made the page wider than a Star Destroyer. Next time you feel the need to scream, just make your words shorter or stick hyphens in them.

[Opium]

NOOOOOOOOO!
I will never make my NOOOO's shorter! Okay, I will.
:P

One way is to insert & #8203; (no space between & and #8203; though) into the middle of your exclamation. & #8203; causes the browser to break a word up silently.

ex:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​ OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOO OOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOO!

There are actually two other ways to break up words in browsers, and & shy;, but isn't allowed by the forums as valid html, and & shy; doesn't work in Firefox.

[Opium]

Thanks

The slacker, sillier looking way is to just hit enter before the sentence wraps in the box.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and so on. It'd probably work if you did that for the whole post.

Vaguely on topic: I love today's webcomic link!

Especially the comments that the creator makes.

Also, can someone find me some webcomics that were linked to a few weeks back? They were both made by the same guy, and one had to do with a college.

They seem to have fallen off the bottom of the news page before I could continue reading them.

[Xeroc]

I agree, the Pixel comic is great!

That would be Building 12 and Misfile. Glad somebody followed those links -- they're the best webcomics I've discovered in quite a while.

Actually, the November and December pages are online, just not linked. (My Net connection is crawling today.) You'll find those links on the latter page.

Um... they are? 'Cause I'm getting a 404.

[Draknek]

Thanks.

I tried the 04dec.html page when I was looking. Doesn't work for me either.
