Hello, dollink. Can’t talk long. Something about the Battle of The Bay. They’ve already looted London Drugs and Holt Renfrew. No, I don’t know why, Holt’s doesn’t even carry Axe body spray!
In any case, never let it be said I left you without your gossip links in a time of crisis. So read and enjoy and tie a yellow ribbon dress around the old oak tree.

Ok, everything is fixed in terms of the updates I needed to do to wordpress. We’re back to normal. If you’re reading this, you either added a line to your hosts file or your DNS propagated quickly and you have a good ISP.

Well hello again Crasstalk friends! I hope your weekend was pleasant, productive, or at least fun and that you’re easing into your week. It seems our faithful Crasstalk bretheren were among some of the most entertaining content of the Twitterverse over the weekend, so let’s recap, shall we?
Boobookitteh has a question:
Our own leniribbons brings up a good point:
I don’t know who this guy is, but this entertained me.
Patton Oswalt is actually pretty funny. I had no idea until Twitter.
Once more, Death Star PR comes through.
Simon Pegg witnesses a mother killing her child’s dream. A moment, please:
Men, please don’t try this at home:
This Julius Sharpe guy is a writer for Family Guy and my latest Twitter followee:
That’s all for now, ladies and gents. If you know of an awesome member of the Twitterverse, please let me know. In the meantime, keep Tweeting, bitches!
Congratulations Crasstalkers, yesterday we reached the one thousand post mark. Thanks to your hard work we are now even closer to winning the Internet.
Also, the 13th of this month will be the 6 month anniversary of the founding of Crasstalk so I thought it would be a good time to look back on a few of the really great articles that have appeared here. Here is the first post ever posted on Crasstalk by our Beloved Leader. It actually just contained this prophetic video.
Here are a few articles that I think have been especially memorable. This list isn’t even close to exhaustive, so please feel free to add your own choices in the comments.
- A Indian shopping and design guide by Princess Lala from back in our first month
- An interview with an actual US Congressman by Dürer’s Rhino
- Another great interview by LeftCoastLady
- 90210 fashion tips from PandaRobots
- More pop culture nostalgia in this piece by The-Obvious and DahlELama
- 92BuickLeSabre wrote this really nice piece about the bodega in his neighborhood
- Here is a sad and moving post about divorce from alyssonwonderland
- Finally, here is a great celebrity mystery courtesy of BettyCrocker
As I said before, there are many, many more. A huge thank you to all of you have put in your time and effort to get this place up and running. Hopefully, this will be the first of many thousands of great articles.
Hey gang,
There’s been some unrest about the site design. I, for one, find it difficult to navigate, and the lack or ability to search by topic/any real organization is frustrating. Plus, it sucks coming in after 12 hours and having no idea where to start/where you left off, etc.
So in that spirit, our lovely coffeeandcigarettes has suggested this one: http://sight.wpshower.com/
I like it a lot! But since Crasstalk is for all of us, let’s have a chat. What do you want? Like? What’s important to you in a site?
A NOTE: All three of the pictures below are of the SAME THEME. I just scrolled down the page, screen-capping as I went. If you click the link I posted, it will take you to it.
So far there seems to be some consensus that all of our glitches are caused by DJ Lance Rock. Our banhammer will be named after our first ban-victim. (Watch out Tony Kaye, your insider status puts you in immediate jeopardy! Plus the irony would be kind of awesome.) There is currently some movement to make the Honey Badger the Official Mascot.
But what about our Anthem?
There have been at least two proposals put forward, but we need more.
1) From slackjawed yoda, the following, which had me tearing up this morning.
2) A worthy counter-proposal, from BaldwinP
Both are appropriately overly-dramatic and ironic while actually capturing exactly how I sincerely feel!
What do you all think?
Pretty damn impressive, if you ask me. The best banhammer of all is the one you don’t have to use.
