"If your name were any redder and any bigger it would put the reader's eye out."

I'm still trying to discover the HTML coding to make it flash on and off like a neon sign . . .

I had a different word in mind, but I'll let it go for now.

So, how long does a person have to stare at your big, red letters before they go all neon-like and flashy? 'Cause I ain't gettin' nothin', honey.

Be thankful. It's obscenely self-aggrandizing. :-D

"obscenely self-aggrandizing"

Jealous of my geekly proficiency, are we?

Yes, I found the code for that, too, and am waiting for an appropriate moment to use it . . .

Hm. I wonder if one could combine the two?

Whatever: I'm off now to slurp mushroom soup while Pam attempts to enjoy the series opener of True Blood. Me, I wanted us to watch the Kenneth More version of The 39 Steps . . .

How odd. The HTML's obviously working for others, like quietselkie -- who as you can see really loves it.

Try opening the post in a different means -- i.e., if you're viewing it on your Friends page, try clicking on the entry's header so that you go to its own page, or vice versa.

Let me rephrase that:

"or vice versa"
