For those waiting for the parade review, I'm allllmooosttt there. Looks like I'm gonna be up till around 2 AM finishing it. It's eight pages long and eighty-thousand words. Coming along nicely. Course, I'm supposed to make the stuffed mushrooms for when we go to my not-yet-in-laws tomorrow. The mushrooms will have to wait. Screw the not-yet-in-laws. I have a parade to write about.

Put your mouse on the taskbar and right click.
Now make sure auto-hide taskbar is not checked.
Thats all I can think of.
Second post!!!!!

"Screw the not-yet-in-laws. I have a parade to write about."
That my friends, is a real man.

Choices, choices...sit and read old parade review or eat overcooked turkey and cold potatoes with family I can't stand to be near for most of the year. Real tough choice.

Matt, sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Type with your hands and stuff those mushrooms with your toes. Multi-task. And by the way, not-yet-in-laws sounds serious. Ring yet?
Chestnuts roasted by planet garp @ 11/26/2003 10:28 PM EST
And by the way, how do you stuff a mushroom?

Dude, I've been waiting for this for a week! =) Guess I'm gonna have to pull an all-nighter on this one. And, yes, stuffed mushrooms bite ass.

I'm assuming you wrote the newest Top 11 on UGO, but I don't see your name credited anywhere? Also: "not-yet-in-laws"? Congratulations! I'll bring the stuffed mushrooms for the big day.
Happy Thanksgiving!

On reading through, it doesn't seem as if you did write the Top 11. I'm not sure why, but the Michael Jackson joke just seems either too crude or not crude enough to be Matt material.
Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 11/26/2003 11:21 PM EST
No way in hell that top 11 was written by Matt. The writing style is all wrong, I can tell just by reading the first paragraph. Matt tends to kick back and have a one man mosh pit in his own little world when he writes. That article is way too uptight, it "tries to be entertaining", if you know what I mean.
Also, the words don't flow nearly as well as Matt's writings. His paragraphs are just a flow of thought while the article in question is like "Here's a sentence with one thought. Here's another sentence with another thought. And here's a third thought. Followed by a closing sentence." Very rigid, even this site's first articles wern't that bad.
Wow. I know the writing style of some random guy on the internet. I really need a beer now.

Azrael 83, thanks for the help!
Chestnuts roasted by Rob @ 11/27/2003 12:26 AM EST
The only things in that Top 11 by me are the bits about toys and commercials.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 11/27/2003 12:30 AM EST
I'm looking foreward to the parade and celebrating turkey day Chandler style I'm going to eat some non-pilgrim foods like funyns and mac n cheese. Hope my pinky toe doesn't get severed. :/
I'm hoping the pikachu balloon is in the parade again this year.
Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 11/27/2003 01:16 AM EST
Pfft. Thanksgiving was LAST month, you crazy Americans.
And yeah, mushrooms suck anyways. Parade-ho!
Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 11/27/2003 01:49 AM EST
On with the parade!!!!!!
Chestnuts roasted by Scourge @ 11/27/2003 02:38 AM EST
Relax and eat some turkey, Matt. Don't work so hard, kid :)
Chestnuts roasted by Kristal @ 11/27/2003 02:39 AM EST
On the off chance that anyone's actually staying up waiting for the parade fun, just know that I'm up and I ain't going to sleep till it's finished. It's 3 AM now -- I'm up to the last page. We're clooooseee.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 11/27/2003 02:55 AM EST
Pfft. I'm stayin' up because I'm 3 hours ahead of you. It ain't late here yet, Jimmy!
Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 11/27/2003 03:02 AM EST
Erm. Behind. Duh.
Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 11/27/2003 03:02 AM EST
I was just going to have a cig, but I'll just make it a pee if I can hold out! :)
PS: How would one go about sending you a Christmas present?
Chestnuts roasted by Kristal @ 11/27/2003 03:07 AM EST
Alas, I can stay awake no longer. Hope all works out and I get a parade review in the morn :)
Chestnuts roasted by Kristal @ 11/27/2003 03:50 AM EST
3:49 here. And yes for good or for bad, the Pickachu balloon IS in the parade this year. They just had one of those regular reports from the reporter with kids watching the balloons blow up on Ch. 11.
Chestnuts roasted by Garrison @ 11/27/2003 03:54 AM EST
Is this some sort of Jim Henson aniversary? There seem to be at least three muppet balloons...Kermit, Big Bird and Grover. Not that I'm complaining...it's nice to have actual characters as balloons again instead of the corporate logo balloons such as Snuggle, RMcD and Quick Bunny that they've been floating in recent parades.
Chestnuts roasted by Garrison @ 11/27/2003 04:11 AM EST
I'm glad American Thanksgiving is here, so that I don't feel like a foreigner when I visit X-E. Well. I suppose I am a foreigner, being Canadian and all. But I don't think that's what I was trying to say...
Chestnuts roasted by jjgoreha @ 11/27/2003 04:19 PM EST
Mmmm. Mushrooms. Bleach. Oh well. Hope your Thanksgiving dinner is... err, was, great!
Not-YET-In-Laws, I reiterate? Does this mean you're really getting married? Wahoo! Will you X-E your wedding or am I just getting overzealous?
Chestnuts roasted by Freezair @ 11/27/2003 11:56 PM EST
