Cursed Cursors

I ask you: What's so wrong with a standard default cursor?

Why must I be assaulted by all manner of clever cursors running amok on the internet? Why do the people who use them do so?

Why must stuff like this — http://www.lionlounge.com/index.htm — exist? (I don't want to link directly to it, so if you're curious enough, you'll cut 'n' paste.)

And for fuck's sake, stop it with the little sparkly clocks that follow the cursor across the page.

It's not so much to ask. I don't ask for much. (Well, I do, but shut up.)

What's nice about that one is that you can pretend you have her in the sights of your rifle. I'm not much of a firearms person, but that's got to be punishable by death. Or at least a shot in the shoulder.

Shush, MG. Don’t make me cutchu.

Ooh! Falling leaves! Snow flakes! Dancing snow men! Flying penises...big ones! Big, fat, juicy, winged penises flying across the screen! Hundreds of them! Why didn't I think of that before? And music. Music! I better get to work! Got songs to write, penises to draw. Songs to compose.

I ho! I ho! Big penises I draw With big pink heads And dangling balls. I ho, I ho! Offered by: Mad Genius on November 19, 2002 10:31 PM

And quit with the falling leaves already! And, no falling snow as the holidays approach. No floating ghosties at Halloween. No hearts at Valentine's Day...

NO MORE! It's my damn computer and I don't want those things fucking trailing my every move. Don't invade MY domain, folks!

Oh, Jhames. Stop kissing her ass!

But this is why we love you, Jodi.

And that cursor? Oy.

Standard default cursor, of course! Why is there a need for anything else?

Lion, you just sent shills down my spine.

Mad Genious:

Best.

Cursor.

Ever.

Well - not ever. It would have been nicer with an off-colour word of some sort. Like "poop" for instance.

Common logic dictates that this comment should be on his site. It's a really shame I'm unlike you commoners...

I LOVE LION LOUNGE! YAY!

Jodi, you're my favorite standard default curser. (as in the only other person I know who inserts expletives in the middle of adjec-fucking-tives.)

You have a nice ass too. (Don't ask how I know, Jodi. I have my sources. By the way, you're almost out of body wash and soy milk. And would it kill you to buy the toilet paper with the ripples?)

I know why things like that must exist. To piss Jodi off!

You need a beating (of only the most loving variety, of course), MG, for the cursor trailer thing on your site.

Kids, if you haven't been there, check it out here. Stay and visit there for a while, too. MG's a hoot (and a holler)!

Oh! I hate that too! I just find it infuriating!
