Just a quick note that we are doing some site maintenance, so if things seem a little wonky with the blog, that is why. Should be over with by the end of the night. The comic viewer pages should work fine. Thanks for your patience!
Webmaster Mike :)
UPDATE 2-3-13: Well, if you tried to visit the site last night and it was down, that would be because there were issues on our web host’s end that needed resolved. I’m happy to say that you should no longer experience the slow loading of the site anymore. However, that means that the scheduled maintenance I planned for yesterday is only half complete. So for now, things in the sidebar on the blog are going to be weird until I can find some time tonight to fix. Sorry again for the inconvenience, it will be fixed as soon as possible!
Cool beans. :)
Dreamer fans and Nathan Hale are counting on you, Mike. Please don’t leave them hanging, so to speak. The fix is good for a draft Sam Adams (no need to GYODB) on your next Boston visit.
Dr. Forman! Such puns!
Please excuse me. So many Dreamer hearts are being torn apart over Nathan’s imminent demise that a bit of humor, even as ill-advised as this, seems in order. And this is the land of romance, action, and plot chickens.
No, you are right. I enjoyed the gallows humor.
Do you remember the comment I made some time ago, where I said if I ever find myself in a situation this intense in real life, I would likely skip survival mode and skip straight to puns?
I sense a wave of puns coming as Nathan’s remaining time comes to seconds.
Probably not, for respect’s sake. His final page, and all that.
Good point. Puns would be disrespectful to Nathan’s legacy, and detract from the six fan ladies’ Dreamer comic debut in their upcoming cameos. Lora has guarded their identities strictly, though I am certain that at least one of them is on Team Mercy. And I might be communicating with another right now!
That would seem to be the mystery.
Plot chickens–really? Again with the plot chickens? I will never outlive that.
It’s awesome, though. Even my sister has picked up on it: https://twitter.com/Shannquan/status/298617175420309505
Groan at the pun.
As for the beer… You’re on!
The beer is for Mike. GYODB, Lora and Team Warren.
No worries: it’s GYODC for me now, anyway. #glutenfree
I think Team Warren prefers it that way, anyway…!
I happen to know that there are some tasty gluten-free beers out there (one of my good friends is allergic). :) I’m going to assume that your C was for cider though…because I tasted a gluten-free cider recently that was awesome. :)
Definitely!
Warren Russet Cider being at the top of that list!
You’re gluten intolerant? My matey Robert is too. I’ve mastered the art of gluten free brownies for that reason. :P
Ohh! Next Dreamer meet up you’ll have to make me some!
I will. :D And if you ever come to SA-Town, at that.
For those puzzled by the abbreviations:
GYODB = Get Your Own Darned Beer. A useful declaration on birthdays.
GYODC = Get Your Own Darned (Warren Russet hard) Cider. A declaration endorsed by Warrens, both actual and fictional, and their latter day fans. Team Warren and Team Mercy can be observed toasting with Warren Russet hard cider in their one and only (gluten-free) area of agreement.
HHAHAHAHAHA well played sir. :) I will definitely take you up on that offer!
Just leave it to the Doctor. Wait, are YOU the Doctor?!?!? O.O
Whoops, that was supposed to comment on your post in regards to the time paradox below vv…gremlins hit me this time.
I don’t know if this is the best time for this, but that reminded me of an old, old joke I saw on Laugh In about forty years ago.
Martin: Do you know what Nathan Hale’s last words were?
Rowan: No, what?
Martin: *crickets*
Rowan: Well, don’t just leave me hanging there!
Martin: That’s it!
*headdesk*
Oh, Mike, typo alert. It’s February, not March. lol
I think that might be the first time the gremlins attacked the blog section and not (only) the comments section
Or, *GASP* Mike was talking to us from THE FUTURE!!!!
Great — is there a resurrected Nathan Hale there?
Guess we’ll have to wait until March to find out.
Ha! Whoopsie – Thanks for the heads up! I’ll fix so there won’t be any time paradox issues happening…
Nice to know that there is at least one other vintage person hereabouts who enjoyed Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In.
<– Is still experiencing slow loads for the site. :( Granted, I should have enough patience to wait for 20 seconds or more (yes, I timed it…don't judge me! :P) considering how long I lived with a dial-up connection, but patience has never been one of my virtues. :)
Try emptying your cache and then reloading. See if that helps. If it doesn’t, let us know!
Thanks!
I still think they are intermittently messing with the server- we’ve experienced a few brief outages since the weekend, you may have just had unfortunate timing- however if it keeps happening as Lora said, let us know and we’ll keep pressing the issue. Thanks!!!
Well, I delete/clear everything at least two times a day under normal circumstances, but I cleared it all and reloaded the page this morning. It toook almost 30 seconds for the light brown background to load so I could read the comments and blog post. :(
I’d say it’s just me and my computer being mean, but it loads other websites just fine.
