Everybody Just Relax...

Before red issues the 2nd part of his manifesto regarding cologne and remotes...or something, I first need to lay some ground rules down.

This shit is getting out of hand. And yes, what I'm about to say could have easily been typed in an email to red, Dean and Bick, but more posts equal more...wasted time, I suppose.

1) Paragraph Breaks: I don't know why this is so elusive, but there must be a break between paragraphs. That is to say that when you finish your though about splashin' Aqua Velva on your nads, hit enter twice.

Like this. It makes the content much easier to read for our stupid generation that sees long paragraphs and says, 'holy shit, fuck that. That ALL can't be important, right?'

2) Timing: Not that I care too much, but we, Team Tapioca, seem to shoot our collective wad in like a 20 minute span. Now, if all of us had a post concerning last night's, ahem, incident, then that's cool; throw all that shit up. But if you were going to make a 1,500 word rant about, oh, I don't know, remote controls, go ahead and let puppy sit overnight.

Here's how: On the bottom left-hand corner of your text editor (i.e. the place where the words are appearing) there is a horizontal triangle and the words "Post Options." If you click there, three post options will appear. Two of them are pointless, but the one on the bottom right says "Post Time and Date." You can change when the post goes live! What a country!

So if someone has recently posted something and you really have to tell the world that you think Michael Young bails out on sliders when he has two strikes during games in Minnesota after the fourth inning but before the eighth, let it sit a few hours. It won't hurt anybody.

Look people, we're a blog with like 5 readers, let's act like it.

3) Fake Names: My name's not really Gene Parmesan, but let's try to keep proper names out of this. People know who's who, and that's fine, but some people don't. Let's try and keep it that way. I'm looking at you, Bick.

And, for the record, I care way more about (1) than (2,3).
