I'm Gonna Get My Fasc On

Yes, the above is a very clever clever pun on a Walmart ad campaign. You're welcome. I was originally going to have 2 different ways to weave that into my post, but I'm only going to do one. The one I'm dropping involved a conversation, which happened to touch on a pair of these, and which then turned into a perplexing argment about gay people. But I'm not interested in reprinting the nonsense that went on.

However, the second reason is the main one anyway. Following my title literally, I assume totalitarian control over my blog, and am going to institute sweeping new policies designed to bring things back to the glory days. So, here's what I see. All the problems in Blogopolis today are caused by one simple thing: Leechy bastards who love to comment, but never post for themselves. Here's my solution: Everyone who hasn't posted in at least a month can fuck off and die. Or do the next best thing: Get removed from my links page until they post again. Take a look. If you're not there, you'd better drop something. Your comments will be deleted unless they say something like, "My noble and sexually arousing ruler, please reinstate my holdings in your kingdom of paradise. See where I've posted something new about _____ ". My links list is too long. Why do I fill it with blogs that don't have any updates?

Further, to quell the nonsense before it begins, I'm going to explain why I haven't updated lately: I've been fucked so many ways it's unbelievable. I was planning on a massive post to ring in the new school year. Unfortunately, I didn't have internet until Thursday of last week, and I spent that day hooking up my phone and trying to get to Whitby the hang out with Nick (which is a whole adventure post unto itself). I go home on Sunday night, and began planning this post in my head.... and then my computer died.

Fucking died.

My hard-drive is gone, all my accumulated music and other less important things (like school-work from last year) have been obliterated. Luckily for the free world, I realized by late this afternoon that the lovely Wolfgang (notice he's not in my links anymore?) had issued me with a cool little CD. It's got an operating system on it called MiniPE. Well, MiniPE XT v2K5.09.03 to be exact. it runs from the drive, open up some sort of virtual (?) drive in my RAM, and looks surprisingly like Windows XP. Of course, since my "hard drive" is now only 300MB, I can't do too much. I spent half an hour trying to get it onto the internet. I couldn't do it. I got my roommate (yeah, our house got a 4th roommate! He's in 3rd year Computer Science) to take a look at it. He's on a Co-op term right now and he works for a networking company. He couldn't find anything wrong. It was then that I realized what an ass I had been.

After plugging in my ethernet cable, I smoothly accessed my much-neglected email and decided that god had given me enough warnings about getting my posts out in a timely fashion. Consider this little pruning of the links list my own piece of Divine Intervention. I'd post more but I've got to go to sleep.

For those interested, here's a list of people getting the chop (in order from top to bottom):

Carl, Ellen, Wolfgang, Caleb, Nora, Scott, Dan, Jordan, Eric, The Red Card Group (who will also be losing their unique section because... They don't really exist anymore), Binkle, and Josh.

I'm also going to take 5 minutes and a) change my link to Ben so that it goes to his new page, and b) put the people who are now in post-sec into my post-sec section.

Don't be offended, be motivated!
