Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

The reruns began last September, but according to the press release , she would finish up the storylines and then freeze time. Johnston will keep fans engaged with a mix of special strips from the past and newly drawn panels that will help reintroduce favorite storylines. The strip’s current story...

Is there a difference? Of course. Hostess HoHos have clockwise spirals, whereas Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls spiral in the opposite direction. Just be sure to eat them from the right end, or you'll get them mixed up. I used to eat these things in my school lunches in grade school. Now I can't sto...

It's for real. The only question is when she'll do it. She's getting close to retirement and wants to get out.

It's always tough to compare musical groups. No two bands are the same. And it gets a lot harder when you are working with different eras. I actually like U2 very much; I was still a fan even in the dark days when they released Pop . However, I think most people recognize that U2 wouldn't exist with...

Has anyone noticed how For Better or For Worse is going into overdrive lately, rushing through hastily assembled story lines in order to finish up by year's end? I can't quite decide why I still read the strip. I guess I still want to see how she makes the transition to time freeze, even if it's pai...

Yeah, my blog isn't very hard to find. Too many other people link to me and reference my Board name for it to be a secret. That's actually one of the major lessons of the Internet, I think: nothing you do online is REALLY anonymous. You can some of it from everyone, and you can hide all of it from p...

Coincidentally, I just signed up for Twitter last week. I had lots of little random thoughts that I thought were funny, but they didn't merit a blog post or email. So I just Twitter them now, and they pop up on the sidebar of my blog. For the hyper-connected type of people, I can see the allure of T...

Booo, monkeys! I'm over the playing cards. Funny once, not funny twice.

I voted for the fun with languages one. It was quick to read. Less is definitely more.

I actually liked the answers of the Jane Austen question, but I voted for Claudio's Beatles response. I thought it struck a good balance between informative and introductory. You can tell he's a huge fan, but the question still managed to sound authoritative rather than the biased effusion of a rabi...

Oh, and my son who hadn't read the book thought it ended too abruptly. It was a relief to hear that reaction from someone who hadn't read the book and didn't realize there were a few chapters at the end of the book that just weren't in the movie. I sat there until the bitter end of the credits, hop...

In no time at all I had read the entire archives aaaaaaaaaand I'm probably partially responsible for the 7 question per week limit... Mmm, I wouldn't put too much blame on yourself. That rule was a long time coming, dating back to the NKOTB days, when he infamously monopolized almost two whole days...

Looking at some other questions, I think what I have the most problems with is the tone of the demands. When someone asks a question and says "I already tried really hard to find the answer and I got this and this but I'm hoping you guys have a better answer," that's placing some restricti...

Today's question on Gambling vs. Investing provoked several irritated responses because the questioner made several demands about what kind of answers he/she did not want to receive. I don't want to hear/read the answer of "There's not much risk in stocks, because the price only goes up or down...

Wow... we're in the official BYU Info database? That makes me feel so... cool! Yeah, there's been a long-standing relationship between the 100 Hour Board and BYU Info. We've actually had some writers go over to BYU Info, and some former BYU Info people have written for the board, but the connection...

I like the music and plot of Les Miserables better, but I think The Phantom of the Opera has a cooler set. When I saw Les Mis I had decent seats, and Sutton Foster was playing Éponine. (I met her after the show, too; she was pretty nice.) Musically, that performance was superb. In contrast, I had a...

Is there a way to get the RSS feed with the answers as well as the question? The RSS feed isn't very useful to me if I can't read the witty responses.

If anyone is interested, the article will be submitted for deletion review this evening. The talk page already got deleted once, but it's back up again, along with a link to an open letter to Wikipedia by Misaneroth, Duchess, Just Another Cassio, and I. I suppose if you're interested you can sign on...

New writers seem to have more fun with the anonymity. I liked it because it let me develop multiple pseudonyms, which was fun. I also liked how the aliases became part of the game. But I also understand some writer's disinterest in anonymity. Latro, for example, couldn't care less if someone discove...

An update on the Wikipedia saga: I'm getting a bit frustrated with the Wikipedia admin. The talk page about the deletion of the Board article was itself deleted two days ago. After emailing that admin, he grudgingly sent me the text of the deleted talk page, but declined to restore it. That admin sa...

I finally got a response back from the Wikipedia admin, and he reasserted his position that the Board lacks notability. Furthermore, he said that in order to show notability, You would need to show that it has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial independent coverage in reliable secondar...
