Has the new hardware been dropped in?

The site is snappier than it has been in a long time, at least for me. Has the new hardware been dropped in?

Either way, cool bananas. And thanks!

Plus it was down for a long time this afternoon.

Encyclopedia Brown on the case.

Case closed. See, the sword wouldn't say "Battle of Bull Run I", because when it was made they didn't know there would even be a "Battle of Bull Run II".

ROFL COPTER.

Well, I spoke too soon in my unseemly excitement. It's kind of unsnappy again already. Perhaps it was a mental artifact of my last few brain cells giving up the ghost or wishful thinking or something.

The above premature 'thanks' can be redeemed for its full value at any wonderchicken industries outlet any time in the future.

I don't know... it seems quite a bit faster to me right now than it did yesterday, for example, when it was agonizingly slow. Maybe not a mental artifact, stav. (???)

TGC,it's plain scary you remember that. The one I remember is when Bugs Meaney claimed a squirrel backed down a tree. I mean, come on Bugs. You can do better than that.

It's still very slow for me.

I remember that squirrel-backing-down one. Good times.

I will say this. Last night I was on MeFi at home from my dialup, and it was BLAZING - to the point that I said "WTF?" However, today, even from work, this page itself considered itself "Done" after reaching the second comment (ended at "posted by The God Complex at").

Do you remember the one when the girl stole the kite, but she said she was in the bathtub and couldn't have heisted it? BUT SHE DIDN'T HAVE WRINKLY FINGERS!

Janey was swinging on the swing again, swinging REALLY high, and her Mom yelled out the window, "Janey, don't swing so high! The boys will see your underwear!"

But Janey just laughed and laughed. She wasn't wearing any underwear!

That goes through my head every time I get J-Runned. If Bush wins I'm going to J-Run that yankee.
