So, it seems some of you are seeing ads that are blocking the comic. Which is unfortunate, because that like ruins the whole point, right? The ads are supposed to be running in their designated play area, and I am not exactly thrilled to learn that there are either some buggy ads out there or that some clever asshole is playing Shawshank Redemption with Javascript and CSS.
Unfortunately we haven’t seen any of them, so we need your help to track them down. Please email/comment with screen shots, ad urls or descriptions of the offending ads. We have filters that might hide your comments but I will be monitoring for those.
We’ll report the offending ads to our providers for immediate removal.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your help.
Okay, just spent $540 shipping 229 books to Calgary. (They’re printed in Canada, so in theory they’ll be okay crossing the border?) PLEASE come buy them from me at Calgary Expo next month! (I really don’t want to ship them back)
If that’s a Labyrinth quote, you’re freaking awesome.
Pshaw… She’d never use something from Labyrinth….. ;D
This was definitely how my day went today. I did at one point take a shower and put on real clothes…but then I opened my laptop to check just one more thing, and all was lost.
That’s why i never ever bothered with Facebook. Curse them all to the bowels of the Abyss!
Definitly a Steven King reference: “The Langoliers”. Time consuming monsters. http://images.wikia.com/villains/images/8/84/Langoliers.jpg
And much like the movie, they all pop up five minutes later looking all sad and dejected, in an attempt to entice you back into their world again…
Walk away from Facebook…. with Livejournal and Google+ there is no need for that silly place.
the black things are back!
i just realized i could have put that differently.
New store item: plush grom hand puppets.

I WORK on multiple facebook apps in a room full of interesting people who also spend all day on facebook. It’s an endless cycle of work application, test on facebook, get distracted and surf-on-facebook… try to do some done on the app…
The first thing I thought of when I saw those things in the archive was “The Langoliers!” That movie was running on some channel just about every late-night through the 90′s, we must have seen it, or parts of it, dozens of times. Excellent reference.
Wow was my post full of missing words and typos. I blame Facebook.
Come to Boston in April.. please please please . Hugest banana eyes ever…HUGE-Hugest…. Grovel Beg Grovel… pleaseeee!!
Use an egg timer I do and it really helps.
BTDT all too many times – though in my defense I am not exactly in my ‘right mind’ – recent personal tragedy – but dagnabbit there are still things that need doing and sometimes the only thing that gets done besides making the bed and getting dressed is feeding the cats. Twice. Plus snacks. :-/
Serves you right…do you know how many hours I spent on Customers Suck yesterday because of you?
I don’t get sucked into Facebook. I do find it amusing though that you can “Connect with Facebook” to comment though. lol
Try thinking about the fact that Facebook shares your personal information with predatory advertisers so they know better how to invade your privacy in ways that are more likely to get you to act like a performing monkey.
That really knocks the stuffing out of the appeal of Facebook.
