During a particularly rousing clickfest this evening, I came across a great site called Things That Suck.
Go there. (But wait until you're done reading the complex instructions that follow.)
In the corner on the upper right (on that site, not here!), there is a link that takes you to "Blogger". Follow that link, and sign on to Blogger using the username "thingsthat" and the password "suck". Enter your little bit, hit "post and publish", and voila ... the world will be treated to your personal version of suckage (or suckiosity) (I'm not sure which is the proper word).
And in answer to the question that's lingering at the tip of your tongue: Yes. Yes, I posted an entry. So even if you don't post your own, you can, at your next blog-party (the 2002 version of your old pajama parties -- you know, the ones where you wore your fluffy pajamas and played "Truth or Dare" and then Greg, Peter, and Bobby put itching powder in the sleeping bags), point to the screen and squeal, "Hey! I know that girl!"
Have fun. But don't stay up too late.

Offered by: Rick on July 12, 2002 2:59 PMRick: I touched on this briefly in a comment to an earlier post.
I posted the following, in the comments at Things That Suck: (Avail yourself of the links supplied here, and you can read all about this nonsense!)
"l33t" stands for "elite". I'd seen fucked-up spellings of regular English words before, but never knew there was a whole asinine "language" behind it. I just thought it was the work of a small, but ever expanding, band of loser 14-year-olds with nothing better to do.
If you really want to know more about it, here are a few links.

Be prepared to want to beat someone over the head with the nearest blunt object.

Offered by: Rick on July 12, 2002 12:37 PMhey there miss jodi. wish i could write something witty, but i'm way too sloshed right now....
thanks for the blurb on my suck site. and thanks for introducing me to your website. it's not everyday i find a site that genuinely makes me laugh. and it's not just because i'm drunk off my rocker... honest...
Offered by: timmy on July 12, 2002 6:13 AMI always stay up late! Does this mean I can't stay up later?
Offered by: But MOM!!!!! on July 12, 2002 4:48 AMRick, there's no "geek speak" in the post. Do you mean the word "link"? Or perhaps "suckiosity" is the stumper.
Offered by: Jodi on July 12, 2002 12:44 AMNot sure what that 'geek speak' means but hey I'm a novice.
What really sucked was when Jan got glasses, didn't wear them because she was so self conscious, ran over the family portriat with her bike and had to sell her bike to pay for a new photo shoot and picture. She would have pulled it off had she not screwed up and wore her glasses for the new photo and dad caught the faux pas. That also sucked.
