Subject: Relationship problems

Message:
I've heard reports that the boyfriend quiz may be "effed up" on some people's browsers. Anyone having any trouble?

Help me... help you... score with a dude. Unless you don't want to.

I'm on Explorer on a Mac (it's not my fault... I'm
at school) and the word "radio button" is
superimposed over all the answer choices,
and the radio buttons are all blinking checked
and unchecked, and you can't do anything
(clicking on the radio buttons doesn't do
anything).

That does sound serious. I'm just glad it worked for TV's Tracy Morgan.

Anyone else have a Mac they can try it on?

I tried it on an iMac or something at school
which apparently doesn't have a flash plugin; I
imagine that would inhibit things. But I bet
most Macs do have flash. Hm. How weird.
All there is is a puzzle piece.

RE: Relationship problems

Message:
As you know my version of Netscape 4.76 doesn't view it properly, but Paul's version of Netscape 4.73 views it perfectly. I use IE 6 exclusively now because it's the only browser that my Microsoft ridden computer will allow to work without crashing. Looks great in IE6 even though IE6 kinda sucks because it runs javascript functions as if it were a computer from 1987. It still beats Netscape 6 or as I like to call it, "the worst broswer."

I am just not cut out for a boyfriend, as none of the choices were exactly what I wanted. However, if you'll give me a bowl of mac-n-cheese to make up for it, I would be much happy.
I thought this was gonna be about paul and caolan, and we would all have to give advice on their failing relationship. That'd be interesting.

Well, Kat, any advice you have for our failing relationship would definitely be welcomed. I for one would love it if you evaluated the probability of success for our relationship, and what you think we can do about it. In fact, I am requesting such advice. It would be fascinating.

That's a new problem... eskimo, are you on a mac or pc, and are you using explorer or netscape? and if you don't mind checking under Help/About, what version of IE/Netscape are you using?

Thanks to all and sundry who described their problems... but damn the black-hearted souls of their computers for having problems in the first place.

They should consider themselves lucky that the evil Microsoft blood running through their computers' circuits even allows them to run anything besides IE though I've gotten used to it.

RE: Relationship problems

Message:
Also, I too would relish relationship advice from all. A few hypothetical questions to get you started:

1) Let's say we had religious differences, like she was Catholic and I belonged to the "Temple of Sexual Soul Worship of Catherine Zeta-Jones", which operates out of my bedroom. She should learn to accept that, right?

2) Caolan wants to go to some lame museum while I want to throw kittens off a cliff. Who should compromise?

Maybe you should send these complaints to Girl Zone, with my name as your pseudonym. But then we would only get advice from Laura, right? Not from anybody else.

I have a relationship problem for you: notice that Paul spent all day putting things on the message board, but did not email me ONCE. On the other hand, I didn't email him, either. But he's the boy.

sounds like you guys are headed down the road of breaking up.
Yeah, that sucked. But you get the general picture.
Let's see. Paul should ask caolan if he can throw kittens off the roof of the aforementioned museum, and then everyone's happy. About the sexual temple, methinks caolan has already started one to big pete, so everything's peachy!
I am so good at this!

RE: Relationship problems

Message:
I get the feeling I should be contributing here. I mean, Paul's Caolan wrote some neat stuff for the site like that choose-your-own-adventure whatsit, and Chefelf's Vegeta Girl submitted, er, something a while back... I feel I'm sort of obliged to YZ to submit something myself. Not that I have anything to submit or even have a vague idea of what I would attempt to whip up to submit, but that nagging little voice of guilt nevertheless remains...

Don't feel bad, Sarah, Jacques' girlfriend hasn't submitted anything either. (Snicker) In fact we at Lance & Eskimo don't even really like her. (Chortle) She seems awfully... shall we say... distant? (Guffaw).

RE: Relationship problems

Message:
You beat me to the chase, Chefelf, if that's something you can really say. I was going to say that Nick hasn't submitted anything, and neither has Tina Fey, who I consider Jacques' girlfriend, even if she never talks to him; and anyway, Vegeta Girl isn't real.

Oh great. Now I'm going to get my cyberbutt kicked by Chefelf's imaginary girlfriend.

RE: Relationship problems

I can see there's some confusion here. As the goddess and boy-king of this universe, here's the rundown.

Chefelf: Not real.
Nate: Real.
Vegeta Girl: Substantially less real than Vegeta himself.
Paul: Real.
Caolan: All too real.
Laura: Not real.
Nick: Unfortunately, real.
Jacques: Jury's still out on the Jacquester.
Tina Fey: Married.
Yahtzee: Has anyone here actually seen Yahtzee? Possibly real, but also possibly from Minnesota.
Rhubarb Celestial: Slightly more real than Yahtzee.
Lance: Real.

No Yahtzee's definitely real because I've sent him mail. Of course this is coming from someone who isn't real so consider the source.

Ah, Laura. My old nemesis. You have done the dirty trick again with the 85% truth and the 15% lies. Who said all Cretans or whatever the hell it was were liars? Not me. They are all crafty 15% liars.

And what the hell do you mean, that I am all too real? It's great, because I am so possibly not real. I mean, who can check? Vegeta Girl at least posts her email address. Sometimes, I post an email address, too, but I clearly don't check them.

RE: Relationship problems

Message:
I am as real as anyone else on this message board. Sure I didn't post for a few months but that's because I've been engaged in battle with Senshinhan and his minions while trying to recover the Namekian Dragon Balls. And anyone who can get harrassed through the email by someone claiming to be Vegeta is real enough to feel annoyance that's for sure!

RE: Relationship problems

Message:
something tells me I will never get Paul on the test. But I think that's because he doesn't know himself well enough to understand his appeal as a boyfriend. Like, if Paul designed a test about whether you would like Paul for a boyfriend, the questions would be like, "Do you like to watch grown men eat the heads off chickens?" and "How much do you like Lego?" when, probably, he would be a decent boyfriend even if you didn't like Lego, and he isn't that kind of a geek at all.


Chefelf

I find that on the average day Paul spends a lot more time talking about Lego than actually using it. He tends to bring it up a lot!

Paul is a lego poser. He wants to bring up his status in lego so much he's willing to namedrop every five seconds. Or something like that.
