In The Eye of the Beholder

The above from Modern Mechanix. It’s some kind of gauge for ‘measuring’ how ‘beautiful’ someone is (click on the image for a larger version).
Weird as it may be, it’s outweirded by the appearance of the identical twin lab assistants taking a strangely intense interest in the proceedings.
What really concerns me is that only the head was changed. I mean what crime against humanity must the original model – I mean scientists – have committed in order to have his head removed and replaced by that guy’s?
Also, I like the new look – of your site, that is.
How long do I gotta wear that face-brace bfore my face will keep th “ideal” shape?
Seems like a high price to pay fer beauty.
wow! love the new look….. purple purple purple
Oh, hey, Revrend …
I see by th note at th bottm of th main page that yer still workin on th Cows new look — which I rathr like, by th way. (You werent kiddin when you told me how MUCH tinkering coud be done in WordPress!)
I thought Id let ya know — evn tho you may know it already — that th presentation is drammatickly WORSE when viewed with IE. Th posts are all mashd togethr on th main page. Wif Firefox, it look just fine.
(Im a little disappontd at how much worse th JPS looks in FF than in IE — since I sppose lotsa fokes is usin FF nowadays.)
Ah, well … Happy Tinkerin!
I like the purple look, but I miss the old cow looking through the grass. Also, Joey is correct when he says how bad TCA looks in IE for WIndows. I know you’re running Safari, but you’ve gotta figure most folks in the Windows world are using IE to view this. Here’s a screenshot.
That thing reminds me of how I pictured the rat-filled torture cage from 1984. So is it any surprise that women get a little screwed in the head over the question of beauty?
I like the new look. And it works fine in Firefox. Fuck IE.
Hey guys.
Thanks for the comments about the new look. I am tempted to be totally with Phoebe and say Fuck IE. The site runs perfectly under Safari, Firefox, Opera and at least IE 5, so it looks like IE 7 is the thing that wants us to believe all the other soldiers in the march are out of step.
There are a few other things that I need to address that are annoying also in this theme, so I may have to abandon it eventually. The basic look will remain though.
I apologize for those of you who are unable to get your proper Cow Fix. Shit, no I don’t! It’s bloody Microsoft’s fault!
I especially like yer sidebar. Lists is more invitin than pull-downs.
Fuck IE? DANG! I might hafta start tinkerin wit JPS to make it look bettr in Firefox.
That thing looks like Pinhead on Hellraiser.
Like the new look. I use FF so don’t notice anything out of place.
Joey: I’m in two minds about the lists. I like them for practicality, but they take up an awful lot of real estate (especially when you have as many Categories as I seem to have accumulated).
I also can’t get the Search function to work properly in this theme and I’ve limited the Archives to 12 months (again because of the real estate problem). This means you’d have the Devil’s own trouble trying to backtrack more than a year through The Cow. Presuming you had a mad impulsive desire to do such a thing, ofcourse.
The thing that really gives me the shits about IE 7 is that there is exactly NO way for me to test it on my own system since Micro$oft saw fit not to make Explorer above v.5 work on Macs. So all I can do is put the site up and wait for kindly people like jmf to make screenshots so I can see the full extent of the catastrophe.
I really hate Microsoft.
