Both candidates for mayor of Harrington and one of its city council candidates took questions during an April 30 forum.
The two candidates for Harrington's mayor's office and one of the four hopefuls for city council seats held their only public forum for the upcoming May 7 municipal election Tuesday night at Lake Forest South Elementary School.
Mayoral incumbent Robert E. "Gene" Price Jr., and challenger former councilman Anthony R. Moyer, as well as District 1 council candidate Stacey Sizemore faced an audience of 60 city residents, who submitted questions through moderator Dr. Daniel Curry.
Concerns about attracting business to the city, repairing its roads and other infrastructure and fees charged by the city government were the main topics of the hour-long session.
In her two-minute opening statement, Sizemore, who is making her first run for public office, said her main worries were finding outlets for the city's youth and easing up on fees and regulations that, she said, throw up too many obstacles for businesses to want to come to the city.
"It's hard to operate when you have so many restrictions," she said.
Price, who is in his 13th year as mayor, said he enjoys representing Harrington, but admitted the city does have its troubles.
Those problems are not insurmountable, he added.
"I think we have a good group together that tries to work on the issues and get them solved," he said.
Moyer, who served two terms as a councilman and currently sits on the Planning and Zoning Committee, said the city is not keeping up with the times.
"I see the city has become level," he said. "We need proactive leadership. I've seen businesses leave this city, I've seen costs too high for people to even to want to move into the city."
Water and sewer costs are "through the roof," Moyer said, adding that high fees charged by the city do not promote growth or interest in coming to Harrington. Moyer also believes Harrington government needs greater transparency; while he did not think things were being purposely hidden, "it is very muddy waters," he said.
On the subject of keeping Harrington's roadways in good repair, Moyer inferred street work seems to be taking place only in favored parts of town.
"We seem to be repairing roads that have been repaired three or four times," he said.
"We need to get to the roads that need to be done and without concern for who lives on what street," he added. "It doesn't matter who lives there. If your road is in bad condition, it needs to be repaired."
Price noted more than $1 million has been spent on road repair in the last decade, and denied any favoritism regarding street repairs.
"This is an ongoing project that will never be done. It is a continuous project," he said.
A list was created to prioritize roadwork without taking into account its locale or the influence of who lives there. The city is continuing efforts to get more money to continue the work, he said.
Regarding the issue of property values, Price said the city had been enforcing ordinances to keep properties adjoining area homes from becoming eyesores, thus keeping home values from going down.
Moyer agreed, but took a different tack, stating that recent charter changes have had the effect of putting people's homes up as collateral for any money the city borrows.
"If the city defaulted, which I don't think it ever will, but if it did, your property value would plummet," he said.
Both Sizemore and Moyer criticized city government for its various fees and service charges, which they said keep prospective businesses from relocating to Harrington. Both felt that impact fees to developers should be reduced or eliminated.
The city needs infrastructure to support new businesses, and impact fees, which only affect the developer, help pay for those improvements, Price said. Eliminating them and finding another way to modernize the water and sewer system would put the burden on everyone, he said.
Such fees can add as much as 10 percent to the price of a home, Moyer noted, which does not create an incentive to build or buy. Doing away with that fee would encourage construction, which then would bring in transfer and property taxes, creating a better tax base for needed infrastructure.
Other pressing issues include reducing crime, which Moyer thought could be accomplished, in part, with a curfew. Price countered by saying that idea has been brought up, but is subject to constitutional questions. Moyer also promised to be more accessible to the public and to forgo a salary.
Both agreed bringing jobs into the city can help solve its infrastructure problems and reduce poverty, but Moyer criticized what he called a lack of effort by city government to bring in new businesses, particularly to the city's industrial area.
All three candidates concurred on the need for better communication between city government and residents, although they also felt Harrington's citizens should make a greater effort to attend meetings of various city councils, boards and committees.
In closing, Price said a city must be run like a business and that if there is not enough revenue available, it must come from sources such as taxes. The new borrowing authority built into a pending charter change requires a supermajority of council members for approval of any project, and would only be used as a last resort if there was a need for some sort of unforeseen expenditure.
Moyer said he'd like to see the city find ways of cutting costs and reducing expenditures, including eliminating pay for the mayor and council. New businesses are needed, new housing is needed, he said, and all of that brings in new revenue.
That's where the city's money should come from, not from the pockets of city residents, he said.
Sizemore thanked the audience for allowing her to express her views,
"I'll be there for you whenever you need me to be there," she promised. "I'll be a fresh, new face to city council if I am elected. I would like to shake it up a little bit and have my views come out there a little bit."
The meeting broke up with many in the audience staying behind to talk with the candidates and with each other.
Incumbent Councilman Charles W. Porter of District 1 and current Councilwoman Fonda Coleman and challenger Randolph L. Ferguson, running in District 3, were no-shows at the forum.
Rotary Club member Linda Chick, representing the Harrington-Greenwood-Felton Centennial Rotary, which, with the Harrington Business Association sponsored the forum, said those absences might have been because of conflicts with the candidates' prior schedules.
"We were a little late in getting out the invitations," she said. "They went out after the notices were in the newspapers."

Search for food-industry-related businesses by location, type of business, type of food produced (organic, non-GMO), certifications, and more.
Results not found. Please search again.
Choose your location
Search Help
You can add more power to your searches by using a few simple "tricks".
Use quotation marks to search for an exact word or phrase. For example: type "star apple" using quotation marks to search only for star apples. The same search query ‐ star apple ‐ without quotation marks will match businesses that have star fruit and any type of apples in addition to star apples.
Search for desired terms in a particular field. For instance: typing name:apple will help you find businesses that have apple in the business name ‐ such as "The Apple Dumpling Restaurant".
There are a variety of other options to search within specific fields listed in the table below:
|Business Name
|City the business is in
|State Abbreviation such as "IL" or "GA"
|Full state name.
|County in which the business resides
|List of products that the business has in their profile.
|List of certifications a business may have.
|Description of business to businesses.
|Description of business to consumers.
Specifically exclude a term from your search results. By placing a dash (‐) in front of a search term you will exclude all results that include that term. For example: ‐apple excludes all results that include the term apple
Specifically require a term to be present in your search results. When entering a multiple word search (such as: organic apples) It will treat organic and apples as optional terms – adding a plus sign (+) in front of a term that must be present in the search results. For instance: typing ‐star +apple in the search query will inform the search engine that star must not appear in the results but apple must appear.
Combine multiple search "tricks" in a single search query. For example: if you want to find businesses in Georgia that have apple in their business name but do not sell apples you could use the following search query:
+name:apple ‐products:apple +state.abbr:GA
- +name:apple — look for apple in the business name
- ‐products:apple — exclude results where the business produces apples
- +state.abbr:GA — in the state of Georgia

Whether you're the next Taylor Swift, want to rock out like Metallica, or just want to play simple folk tunes around the campfire, I'm the teacher you want! I've performed on stage and have done studio work on top of teaching on both acoustic and electric guitar. We'll cover music theory, ear training, soloing, and explore different styles of music on top of learning the songs you want to play!
About Cameron
Learning guitar should be interesting and fun! While we're studying all the different aspects of the instrument, you'll also be learning how to play your favorite songs and solos! I approach each student as an individual and structure their lessons according to what I determine they need, as well as what they are interested in musically. I concentrate on many different areas; ear training, theory, playing technique, improvisation, various styles of music, and, the physics of the guitar. Understanding how the instrument works is important in my opinion. My long term goal is to teach a student how they can teach themselves down the line. Understanding why you're playing something is just important as knowing how to play it. I aim to give a student rich and well rounded one-on-one time!
I h
I obtained my degree from Purchase College in New York and am a member of their Conservatory of Music.
*** Lesson Details ***
I construct lessons for each individual student depending on their musical tastes, goals, and current skill level etc. I want each person to get as much from their time studying with me as possible. Within three to six months, I'll have you working on timing, theory, ear training, improv, and songs/styles of music you may be interested in. I'm laid back, however, I expect at least the minimum practice time between lessons, which I'll change throughout the course of our time together depending on your skill level etc. Practice materials I draw up are included. I write out everything in plain English and do not require the use of sheet music!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Small recording studio, piano, various guitars, bass, and amps.
*** Travel Equipment ***
guitar, bass, laptop, digital recorder.
*** Specialties ***
I concentrate on ear training, improvisation, and explore styles ranging from pop, alternative, rock, prog, and blues, to metal, funk, and folk etc. I do not require sight reading skills for any level of student. Rather, I work with the student with theory and arrangement conventions to really understand the music. This intern, greatly sharpens their musical ear and helps them to learn music much faster because they understand how it is put together; why and how it works, etc.
***Teaching Special Needs***
I have experience teaching students who have been visually impaired,
blind, hearing impaired, or who have had mild learning disabilities. I
am also comfortable with a student bringing their service dog or
therapy dog to our lessons if they wish.

I was very reluctant to take lessons at first, but my wife got me started with Tim and it was really worth it. He was accommodating to my relatively slow speed of learning and easily adapted to my own musical preferences and interests.
His studio is a great space and is located within a really cool, historic building. The sound is fantastic and it's a comfortable space to practice in.
I highly recommend Tim for lessons - especially for adults who may not be able to dedicate hours a day to practicing. I took lessons weekly for three months and I got a great foundation for practicing. Once my life settles down a little, I definitely hope to go back.

If you are just starting out with the guitar, I am your 'gal'! I make learning the basics of the strings, the tuning, and the music really fun! but as with learning any new language or instrument, the follow up requisite practice and purchase/download of recommended supplementary materials is totally up to you, the student. If you practice what I show you in each lesson every day, you will notice progress!
About Tamari (Tamara)
On social media and for those who are more familiar, I'm Tamari. We all learn in different ways; some are more visual; others, auditory; some, kinesthetic--I combine a number of different modalities in my teaching, including direct feedback-teaching--once you learn a concept or skill, teach it, as soon as you possibly can, to someone else! -- this reinforces your own knowledge of the skill or concept!
I've been teaching private lessons for many years and have loved helping my students acquire new skills, master new pieces, and prepare for concerts and performances. Over the years, my younger students have earned Blue and Gold ratings at the Young Musicians' Festival in Fairfield U., some of them earning gold cups: This is a statewide event to encourage long-term commitment
I went to Indiana University's Jacob School of Music and earned a Masters in Piano Performance, and Composition in the '90's. I sang all types of vocal music as well as prepared singers with vocal coaching and voice development techniques 20+ years.
I'm fun loving, patient, and optimistic-- these traits carry through in my teaching style,
One Size does NOT fit all--I approach the lesson plans for each student tailored to your learning style.
Over the past 23 years, my life experiences have encompassed other disciplines and compelled me to learn and acquire many other skills: my liberal arts as well as fine arts education lent itself to helping me work administrative jobs and even expanded into sales and public speaking. I have coached after school and SAT preparation to High School and College age students, helped with the preparation of legal and analytical documents, creative writing and editing assignments; and even tutored computer, social media and Microsoft Office & iWork Suite of applications to older adults.
I look forward to helping you reach your goals

My thought exactly. I'm going to test to see how I would do with a labby line over the last 5 years. As there aren't very many plays and the juice is low, I will bet to win 10 units on the labby line then bail. Those units will be more than what I bet on baseball with high juice.

Example: .5 .5 .5 .5
A win would net 1 unit, a loss would mean a bet to win 1.6 units the next play (.5 + 1.1 loss from game 1). Given the past win totals of 15 or more, I can see a net of at least 10 units. You could also do this with 1 unit or more instead of 1/2. I do this with some high juice systems (top hockey fave system that English Gent runs) so probably not necessary to cut to 1/2 with this low juice, high win%.

After being suspended from Bastrop High School for four semesters for bringing a gun to school, Pearce T. Frazier's father, Pearce Frazier Sr., pleaded with the Morehouse Parish School Board Monday night to appeal or lessen his son's judgement.
Frazier Jr., of 108 Rosemary Dr., was arrested on Jan. 14 at BHS, after his parents called the school and alerted them their son may possibly be carrying a gun. The school resource officer Lt. Quickman Trotter and Morehouse Parish Sheriff's deputy Eddy Garrett went to the teenager's class and searched him, finding an automatic pistol and a magazine concealed on two different locations.
Frazier Sr. said he couldn't understand why his son had received such negative publicity, while other students who were guilty of the same crime hadn't been scrutinized as much.
"Why would you do this [publicize] to my son like this?" Frazier Sr. asked the school board.
School Board Superintendent Dr. George Noflin answered him by saying "the school board was not responsible for what the Enterprise published."
One circumstance Pearce Sr. was referring to was the November 28, 2012 Enterprise article on a lock down drill conducted at BHS. Principal Stacy Pullen is quoted saying, "they did find contraband." It was later learned that what was found in fact were two guns in a student's vehicle on campus.
Delta Jr. High teacher Thelma Tucker said contraband was a word that "camouflaged'" the truth.
"It was never referenced that guns were brought on campus," Tucker said. "Ongoing disparages of how you treat one child is how you should treat another. I'm not for bringing guns on campus by any means. I just wish they would treat every child equally."
When Noflin was later asked about his reference toward having no control over the media, he replied, "I don't' have control over them."
When told that the media printed what it was told to them by credible sources, Noflin answered "I understand that stories can't always be positive. If some people feel we control the media by telling our administrators what to say, I can't change the way people feel."
Noflin said he understood that people may think the school board controlled the media by telling its administrators what to say.
People are going to feel the way they feel, regardless of what I say," Noflin said. "Mrs. Pullen's comment may not have been the best term to use. As far as did I have anything to do with Mrs. Pullen's comment, no I did not."
The board had three choices to vote on concerning Frazier Jr. They could either recant it, keep it or modify it. They voted to modify it, four to three. Instead of being suspended four semesters, he will now only be out two.

Foxwoods advises employees of downsizing
Foxwoods Resort Casino informed employees Wednesday of impending job cuts, though Scott Butera, president and chief executive officer, offered no specifics about the number of workers who would be let go.
Butera, in a phone interview, said "no particular number" of staff reductions was being sought.
"It's fairly modest," he said. "We don't anticipate any drop off in service. It's about streamlining and becoming more efficient."
He declined further comment.
In a memo to employees, a copy of which The Day obtained, Butera said the casino must adjust to the ongoing decline in its business.
"Regretfully, the economic conditions which are affecting the national economy as well as the gaming industry in general are also impacting Foxwoods," he says. "Despite our vigorous efforts, our business, which has suffered a decline over the last few years, has yet to recover.
"... Senior management has made the difficult but necessary decision to institute a reorganization plan which will affect a number of Team Members, many of which will be voluntary."
Foxwoods management refers to employees as team members.
Butera's memo says management will provide information to departments affected by the reorganization by next Wednesday. The reorganization is to be completed by April 6.
According to the memo, employees whose jobs are eliminated will be able to apply for vacant positions within the company. The displaced who have not been offered another job will qualify for severance benefits consisting of two weeks' pay for every full year of service up to 26 weeks. During that period, medical benefits will continue through the last day of the month in which the severance payments end.
Severance packages already have been offered to table-games dealers and those who supervise them, according to sources.
In the memo, Butera refers to the debt-restructuring efforts of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, which owns Foxwoods, including MGM Grand at Foxwoods.
"It is important to note that we are close to completing our financial restructuring and are confident that Foxwoods will remain the region's premier gaming resort and will be better positioned to attract more business to the benefit of all of our Team Members," he says.
Butera has been involved in the tribe's efforts to restructure $2.2 billion in debt since his arrival in 2011.
Both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, the region's other tribally owned casino, have experienced steep revenue declines amid the Great Recession and increasing competition from gaming facilities in other states.
Less than two weeks ago, Foxwoods reported its slot-machine revenue for January was down 12.1 percent over the same month in 2012, its fifth straight month of double-digit declines. Its January slots "win" — the amount it kept from wagers after paying out prizes — was the lowest of any month since December 1996.
Foxwoods' workforce numbers about 8,000, down from more than 10,000 several years ago. The casino has not announced major layoffs since letting go some 700 workers in October 2008.
Mohegan Sun laid off about 330 employees last September.

I hate to create another thread about Revis, but I thought this deserved a new post of it's own. I was just browsing ESPN today and noticed an insider article that specified a rumored trade between the Niners and Jets that would include Alex Smith for D. Revis straight up. Does anyone have any further insight to this? I don't have an insider account, but the article starts:
It was shaping up to be a relatively normal Tuesday morning in the NFL world -- though the circus of Super Bowl Media Day is on tap -- and then something very strange happened during ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter's appearance on "Mike and Mike in the Morning."
Man, I'm hoping this is merely a rumor, and that there is not much basis to it. That would SUCK.

STOCKTON - A suspected Southeast Asian gang member will be tried for the Stockton murders of 30-year-old Lowell Thornton and 33-year-old Khamsuk Thammala, a judge ruled Wednesday.
STOCKTON - A suspected Southeast Asian gang member will be tried for the Stockton murders of 30-year-old Lowell Thornton and 33-year-old Khamsuk Thammala, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Bobby Suriyan, 20, faces a potential life term in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted of the murders.
"We think, and the Stockton Police Department thinks, he is a very dangerous individual," Deputy District Attorney Robert Himelblau said. "The only motives in these cases are gang related. They don't fit the traditional motive of robbery, self-defense or even anger."
Suriyan was arrested in June, about 11 hours after Thammala was fatally shot near Mosher Slough and Kennedy Elementary School.
In that shooting, a 21-year-old individual was struck by bullets, but that victim's injuries were not life threatening.
Authorities said the incident was gang related. Suriyan is believed to be a member of Loc Town Crips.
With Suriyan in custody, authorities also connected him to Thornton's fatal May 1, 2010, shooting. He was a juvenile at that time.
Suriyan and Thornton argued at a house party and the defendant fired shots at Thornton, Himelblau said.
A wounded Thornton was found in an alley between Acapulco and Santa Paula ways. Thornton was not a documented gang member.
In addition to the murder charges, Suriyan also faces gang and gun enhancements. A San Joaquin County Superior Court judge decided to send Suriyan to trial after hearing a sample of evidence at a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

This morning Select Medical is formally opening its new 38-bed hospital designed for patients recovering from the most critical and complex medical and surgical conditions.
Select Specialty Hospital-Harrisburg, formerly at 2501 N. Third St. in Harrisburg, has moved into the new facility on the fifth floor of the Alex Grass Medical Sciences Building on the PinnacleHealth System Harrisburg Hospital Campus.
Select Medical announced the plan in January, saying it would allow more convenient access for patients; permit closer coordination with referring physicians; bring the hospital closer to nearby diagnostic services; and let it offer patients all-private rooms for the first time.
The new facility also offers wireless Internet access and significantly more natural sunlight than the previous location. Once operating at full capacity, the new hospital is expected to employ 125 employees.
Select Medical, based in Lower Allen Township, also operates three other area hospitals:
• Select Specialty Hospital-Camp Hill, on Holy Spirit Hospital's campus in East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County.
• Select Specialty Hospital-York, inside York Hospital in York and Spring Garden Township, owned by York Township-based WellSpan Health.
• Penn State Hershey Rehabilitation Hospital, South Hanover Township, Dauphin County.

The CCMS Project Team continues to work toward state-wide implementation. System enhancements will be completed by January 30 so that select end users can verify upgrades and defect resolutions from previous User Acceptance Testing. Data conversion activities continue.
January 31 & February 1: 2-day Defect Review and Enhancement verification
February 4: System enhancements deployed to training environment
May: User Acceptance Testing
June: Pilot and state-wide implementation
A review of the CCAP Help Desk Requests still indicates that some end users are not changing their passwords every 30 days!
We are finishing up our internal testing of the scanning functionality and developing an installation handbook. The handbook will contain instructions on how to set up the scanner, scanner IDs, which settings will be needed for the bar codes, user authentication, signing-in/out, getting to the web and basic trouble shooting tips. Next month, we will begin testing the scanner outside of the state network. The handbook will be distributed during our Scanning and Document Management Readiness Workshop.
The CCAP Help Desk is moving to the Clouds! We plan to introduce a web-based help desk software program which will allow CCAP local experts, with approved security, to enter requests and system problems via the Internet. We will share complete details soon.
Some agencies have had staff turnover since the submission of the original CCMS user spreadsheet. Agencies will be given an opportunity to update their spreadsheets. CCAP Help Desk staff will e-mail the most recent CCMS security spreadsheets to agency POCs within the next two weeks.
As soon as we receive the updated spreadsheets, users will be given instructions for establishing or resetting CCMS/InfoView passwords. This will allow individual users to become acquainted with changing and troubleshooting password issues through Central Management Services at least once before system implementation.
Did you receive the December 19, 2012 Memorandum from the IDHS Bureau of Child Care and Development, Policy Unit providing guidance on how to process RSPs? CCR&Rs and Sites now have access to TANF clients' Responsibility and Service Plan (RSP) information on the ACID system. This information is to be used when determining CCAP eligibility for TANF clients who are involved in activities other than employment.
(Please refer to the Memorandum for additional processing instructions.)
CCMS will follow policy. Is your staff well-versed in CCAP policy?
In February all CCMS system features will be operational in the CCMS training environment. TTTs are expected to conduct at least two on-site training sessions prior to system go-live. If you have not done so, please submit your training schedules to us.
We will not conduct the Organizational Routing and Parking Lot Questions workshops. There have been some changes to the routing rules. Therefore, during the month of February each agency POC will be contacted on an individual basis to review and update their routing spreadsheet. Parking Lot Q&As will be e-mailed to the POCs on/or before January 31.
The following table reflects our new workshop schedule:
Question: What types of alerts are built into the CCMS?
Answer: There are three types of alerts: Task (example - pending application), Informational (example - approval notice generated), and Reminder (example - action not taken on application in X days). Task and Informational alerts are mandatory.
Question: What are reminders and how do we edit them, if needed?
Answer: Reminders are generated for current and overdue tasks as well as other triggers in the CCMS system. Reminders are similar to those found in Outlook Express; however, the reminders in CCMS will not pop-up. To eliminate a reminder, please refer to the View and Dismiss Reminder Wizard.
Question: Which reports now generated through CCTS will be eliminated or changed with reporting capabilities in CCMS?
Answer: Reports can be created on demand by each CCR&R/Site to pull real-time information from CCMS. Reports that will not be generated in CCMS or CCTS may have the information found in them in new reports or built into tasks and alerts. For a complete listing of reports and their parameters, please refer to the Reports

This season Atlanta has gone away from feeding Turner, who is getting old and slow, and has leaned towards their screen game much more. There's a nice article on SI about this:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nfl/ne ... uk_t12_a12
It appears that they are not intending to necessarily offset the blitz but rather to get small chunks of yardage outside the hashes to create 3rd and short opportunities. Apparently, it has been a big success for them this season. WR screens are usually predicated on blocking out the CB's. We have big, physical CB's that generally snuff out WR screens pretty well, particularly BB. Our LB's, such as KJ and Leroy have also done an excellent job sniffing out the classic RB screens as well. I like the matchup.
As far as getting pressure on the QB, I agree losing Clem is a big deal, so I would hope that Bradley would call more LB, nickel corner, and safety blitzes than usual. The good thing is there is not a lot of film of us blitzing like that during the season, so it could actually be an advantage for us by catching Ryan off guard.
Losing Clem would have been a whole lot worse if we were facing San Fran. Irvin is a significant drop off against the run. In fact, he'd probably not even start against them if that was the case. You'd probably see Scruggs in there.
All in all, you have to like the matchup on paper versus the Falcons. The only X-factor is Tony Gonzalez, particularly on third down. You just know they are going to try to hit him on third down conversions and try to exploit Kam or KJ's coverage on him. Probably the best bet is to try and knock him off his routes at the LOS. Getting a few "illegal contact" penalties might be worth it if we can neutralize him.
The biggest X-factor to this game IMO is the psyche of Atlanta. Are they ready to take that next step? They've been gearing up for this moment all season long to get that monkey off their back. This can work both ways mentally. I just hope that they falter one more time (they can get the monkey off their back next year)!

Oh you think I'm always so funny? Well BAM how's that for creepy and serious?
Note - I'm not going to count the very early ones that were just notebook sketches. Those weren't meant to be jokes when written.
104 my god this one pisses me off
All the red spiders
If there's anything else I need to add, tell me.
40 comments:
I was about to start this blog - but you've pretty much covered everything already.
Honestly, I can tolerate the non-funny mentions of computer science / math terms... they're just stupid... what really make me wonder why I'm not a famous web comic artist are the ones that have anything, at all, to do with relationships. No need to point fingers, you've done so in this post. My salutations...
the ums
Sweet. I spent about 15 minutes looking online for something like this blog (under the assumption that if X exists online, there will be at least 3 websites mocking X) but got lazy and a few months later here I am.ReplyDelete
If you have anything you were going to put on this blog-that-no-longer-needs-to-exist you can send it to me and I can post it perhaps - firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for the encouragement.
Good blog man! Though Mr Munroe is talented and sometimes funny, anyone who says their webcomic is about "romance, sarcasm, math and language" is a pompous twat.ReplyDelete
This comic is made for Linux geeks who read it and force out a snorty laugh to show that they're clever enough to get the screamingly unfunny joke.
And for the record, I'm a maths student, but I certainly don't recite the Fibonacci sequence in bed, for fuck's sake.
Anyway, thanks again for the blog.
P.S., did you ever see this blog?ReplyDelete
It's pretty funny too, though the tone is rather different from yours.
I have seen it but I've never been able to get into it, probably because they never talk about the comics I read (probably because if they were bad and I should feel bad, I wouldn't read them...)ReplyDelete
Every few months I try again. Who knows what future attempts will bring.
- AnonymousOctober 11, 2008 at 2:19 PM
I don't understand why you people don't get why there are math/science references in the comic, after its slogan is XKCD: A webcomic of romance,ReplyDelete
sarcasm, math, and language.
TLDR: Get over yourselves.
Nothing wrong with math and science. It's when instead of a joke, all you get is a math/science reference. In other words, it's when he forgets the "webcomic" part of the slogan that we have a problem.ReplyDelete
I'm not a mindreader, but I don't think he does that on purpose as in "Huh?! HUH?!". I personally like his comics which make me feel the early twilight feelings.ReplyDelete
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_no_aware for reference.
102's inclusion on this list seems unwarranted or perhaps accidental because if you read it, you can clearly see there is a joke there.ReplyDelete
There is a very, very dark joke there, so I see where you are coming from. But the feeling is still the same. Vaguely light-hearted comic and then BAM 9/11 and the guy's dad died.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 12, 2008 at 10:27 PM
The romance in xkcd is one of the main reasons I read it. It's beautiful in a very simple way.ReplyDelete
The humour is very simple.
I don't think Munroe really believes he deserves all the fame, and who honestly would turn down money that is offered for something you would do anyways?
All humour can be analyzed and picked apart to the point it stops being funny. So just take a moment to enjoy it, before you get angry. It obviously has some value to it that you continue to go back to it.
Honestly, do you people not see the Frequently Asked Annoying Questions? I put them there for a reason. I guess you assume your point about "oh hey well looky here if you analyze humor it makes it stop being funny" can't possibly be frequently asked because it's so damn insightful and also hey, randall munroe isn't running a business he's just a simple artist so shut up NO LOOK ALL THIS IS EXPLAINED IN THE FAQ. all of the philosophy behind this site, all the complex feelings about the comic are there and we've been over this.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2009 at 8:42 AM
I agree with some of what's on this blog, it can be somewhat annoying when Randall lets his ronery hijack the strip and post waah waah so sad she's gone or whatever crap (48?). But other than that, I really don't get your constant critique that the joke is wrong or not funny enough or not a joke.ReplyDelete
I mean, yeah, when someone obviously tries to make a joke and fails that's rather annoying (if it's subtle enough to pretend there wasn't supposed to be a joke anyway it's usually not a problem- you can't mess up a joke you didn't try to tell). But xkcd isn't all jokes.
A lot of it is "hey look at this cool science-y thing I found/thought of" like 52, 98, the python jokes, the egg drop and the like. Sometimes the cool thing isn't really that cool and you end up going "riiight..." like the recent temperature poster thing, though the suck in that was more on par with, rather than genocide, maybe "just" molesting dead old ladies. Oh, the spiders. The spiders ARE genocide, or is there some obscure story in an entomologist's diary about an absolutely hilarious confusion between spiders and spider mimics that it referred to?
Some are just "a unique perspective I had on this familiar topic" things. Of course this relies on the unique idea actually being unique, but Randall seems to be reasonably inventive so few of them are teeth gnashingly bad. Some are, yes.
When there are jokes, they're often the kind that builds up to something wishy washy and happy and ends with a sudden jerk in the exact opposite direction. 46, 102, 104 are like that... 334 could be but he ruined it by forgetting he was supposed to be joking halfway through.
Some are just moments of looking on the dark side of something generally accepted as happy, like 223, though admittedly there are better ones than that.
But why do you insist on getting your joke every single time? Not just that,
you insist on the joke being done "right", and since Randall's jokes are for the most part original (I guess) you're seeing them done for the first time and they can only be wrong by not conforming to some "accepted humor conventions", which you seem to demand they should. Even when he's decided to make a strip about something other than a joke, you still complain "yeah yeah but DUDE WHERES MAH FUNNAY!?". You even think for a second and add "...Standardised funnay!" What gives?
This isn't really a flame (inb4 flame), in fact I think it got a bit too tame lately, not enough misanthropy and violence for me. I'd say it jumped the shark at five part 1337 series (a webcomic about Cory fucking Doctorow? Come on!) only it didn't instantly start sucking hard after that, it just got somewhat worse.
I think the comics that we disagree on are those that I sometimes think of as the "Randall Munroe's Illustrated Blog" comics. With these, I just feel like they are being phoned in sometimes. "Instead of trying to make something funny today, the way a real comedian would do, I'm just going to share an idea I had. Anyone else posting this online would get zero attention at all but sometimes i make a funny so people will read this and love it."ReplyDelete
A webcomic should be comical, or not call itself a webcomic. That's pretty basic right there.
As to jokes being done "right": There aren't too many that I actually have what you might call corrections on. Usually that's because the whole thing is bad beyond repair. But some (443 and 398 for example) I feel like he just almost made a great joke and then...didn't.
I firmly believe that there are concrete concepts that determine what is funny and what isn't. They aren't identical for everyone but we have more in common that people sometimes think. And look, on a whole damn lot of the old ones, Randall hit it spot on - but somehow he seems to have lost it. I should add that I don't fault him for this - you can take the first 300 or so xkcds and have a whole lot he should be very proud of. I fault him for not stopping when he ran out of steam.
Anyway, we do seem to agree on about when the comic went downhill, so that's something. Thanks for writing, and not being an idiot like some people.
Can you tell me about the red spiders? I've never understood that at all.ReplyDelete
What is there to know? They're just creepy pictures of red spiders. And...that's all. Unless I'm missing something. I doubt it though.ReplyDelete
Seriously nothing? Weaksauce.ReplyDelete
as far as I know, yeah. it's almost like the webcomic actually sucks.ReplyDelete

502 is funny. That is all.ReplyDelete

- AnnoyerApril 28, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Go fuck yourself, Carl.ReplyDelete
sounds like a planReplyDelete
You commented on Red Spiders, when indeed you said yourself that it was not intended to be fnny at the time of drawing. You also seem to have a misconception of creepy.ReplyDelete
I agree with the man with no identityReplyDelete
what's up with 383?ReplyDelete
Yeah, I feel like the red spiders (the start of the series at least) count as "just notebook sketches."ReplyDelete
I have no idea what is up with You Can't Take Responsibility for Someone Else's Happiness. I've never heard a good explanation and I am quite frankly dying to know. It's such a crazy weird strip.ReplyDelete
It would be amazing if Randall brought back the Red Spiders out of nowhere.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 3, 2010 at 7:44 AM
I think I've figured this one. You see, there are depressed people in this world. They're often unhappy, due to biologic and/or extreme events they've went through life.ReplyDelete
What can you do for them to make them less miserable?
You can be there and do all the nice things Randall likes to write about, like going kite flying or hugging or just being there. But you can only do so much. Sometimes your efforts are not enough. Sometimes professional mental care is called for.
It's one of the non-funnies. I don't care if xkcd isn't funny 100% of the strips. I want quality. I consider this one to have reasonable level of quality. The art is above present-day xkcd's avarage, so I guess that's a good thing and the content is pretty nice, it made me feel something. The only annoying thing is the img's title attribute because it reduces the impact of the whole thing with a really weak comical relief.
Yeah, when Randy posted that one, he got the image title screwed up. It gave the impression that something really terrible had happened to someone Randy cared about. It was just so unexpectedly bleak, and the alt text lent it this cracked, forced, morbid humor.ReplyDelete
Landon: I'm afraid that has happened and it was not awesome.ReplyDelete
Rob: Can you elaborate? What was screwed up?
it was originally called, on the webpage, "Helping.png" instead of just "Helping"ReplyDelete
oh. Wait, why does that imply anything?ReplyDelete
oh, that wasn't all of it. it just felt like he uploaded in a hurry or while distracted, which added to the effect of the comicReplyDelete
huh. weeeeird. Did anyone ever establish if it was based on real life? You are the person who would know...ReplyDelete
No idea. I think that one happened while I was still on the west coast. But it is how I read it. This one is so much more serious than all of the others. It is bleak and hopeless. It provoked a huge reaction on the forums. He went straight back into jokes. It seemed so weirdly out of place.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 20, 2010 at 2:38 PM
there's actually one more red spiders i think and IMO it was really funny. They were just in a hot air balloon, the guy says something about red spiders I think and they get swarmed by red spiders. Also in the current ones, they don't really do romance any more, there still are some math and science ones though.ReplyDelete

Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, ca. 1876
Source: Elihu A. White Papers, #14.11.a (P-14/6)
Staff Person: Jonathan Dembo
Description: This photograph of Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia dates from the 1870s. It's name derives from the fact that it was originally built in 1770-1773 to serve as a meeting hall for the Carpenters' Companies of the City and County of Philadelphia, the nation's oldest surviving trade guild. The handwritten caption on the verso of the photograph reads: "Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, Pa. Birthplace of Liberty. Built 1770. The Hall where the first Continental Congress was held Sept. 5 1774". Located on Chestnut Street it is only a few blocks away from the Pennsylvania State House, better known as Independence Hall. The First Continental Congress, met in Carpenter's Hall, in September and October of 1774 because the State House was being used by the Colonial Assembly at the time. It was during its sessions, here, that the Congress banned the further importation of slaves and to end the slave trade between the colonies. The Hall later served as a hospital for wounded and sick soldiers, both British and American during the Revolution. Designed by architect Robert Smith (1722-1777), the building is a two-story Georgian style brick structure. It is one of the few building extant in the 1770s that continues to be used for its original purpose. Over the years, Carpenter's Hall has housed a wide variety of organizations, including Benjamin Franklin's American Philosophical Society and his Library Company of Philadelphia. It also served as home to both the First and Second Banks of the United States. While open to the public and operated in cooperation with the National Park Service, the building is still in private hands and remains the meeting place for the Carpenter's Company and other labor organizations. It looks today much as it did in the 1870s and 1770s. Elihu A. White (1824-1900) probably acquired the photograph on a visit to Philadelphia during the 1870s or 1880s. White was a Quaker farmer and business leader from Belvidere, North Carolina. He was also heavily involved in social reform, education, and Republican political activities. He served in a variety of local offices and was a member of the Reconstruction era State Senate 1868-1870. He served as a collector of Internal Revenue during the Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison administrations, 1879-1893. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina in the 1890s. Throughout his life White was active in a variety of local, state, and national Temperance and Prohibition organizations, including the Women's Christian Temperance Union was led the campaign to prohibit the sale of alcohol in the United States.

I just wanted to say that I was impressed by your packaging and shipping. I found you when I was searching for papers I just couldn't get locally and thought it was worth trying an order. I'd been resigned to the idea that small paper orders would end up rolled and in a tube, but I was pleasantly surprised to find my order shipped flat and well protected. Thank you. I will be ordering from you again.
