Ok. Well. After nearly 12 (13?14?17?) hours of nearly continuous programming I am going to sleep. Hope you like the new Bloon. If anything is broken ill update it tomorrow.

The Daily Bloon 2: Retro-fitted, AJAX-fied, happy and ready to roll. Its high-rez and high-speed, small-size and small’tastic. Its your new hangout and your old hangout. Its a newspaper, but its not. Its the Bloon.
As you can see, the new bloon is starting to breath, and over the next couple days (weeks, months… years.) it will evolve into my future vision of its perfection. That is what you should look forward to. The idea was a retro newspaper. How it came out… Well, you can see for yourself.
Of particular interest is the amazing and beautiful featureheaderslideything. If you think thats bad, try to imagine my variable names. Anyways, check it out and watch for new functionality. Perhaps suggest a new tab in the comments… Anyone want a “latest images from the bloon gang” tab? Hmm, thats a neat idea.
Well, come back often, cause this sites about to get a’bustlin.

HOW TO CLEAN THE HOUSE

2. Name it “Housework.”
3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN.
4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN.
5. Your PCÂ will ask you, “Are you sure you want
To delete Housework permanently?”
6. Calmly answer, “Yes,” and press mouse button firmly……
7. Feel better?

So I was dutifully checking and deleting the spam for the Bloon tonight when a certain spamcomment caught my eye.
It read as such:
RE: viagra cello
This immediately set into motion a chain of thoughts that probably should have been stopped much earlier than it actually was. Begin a cellist myself, however, my curiousity was piqued. Firstly, since when do spam machines try and sell cellos? The viagra I understand, lesser males than I are always trying (in vain) to increase the size of their pitiful penises. But cellos? That’s certainly a new plan of attack.
After the initial shock of “Do people really like cellos? Could it be? Could I be loved???”, my mind leaped into more fantastic realms of thought. What would “viagra cello” entail? Is it some kind of cello that enlarges one’s member by simply playing it? Or, even better, would simply hearing said cello’s sounds suffice to raise the national colors, so to speak?
Or perhaps “viagra cello” isn’t something for men at all. Perhaps “viagra cello” is some kind of pill for cellos to aid the poor instruments who have strings that simply are too limp to be played. But how would it be ingested? Cellos do not have mouths.
And the “re” implies that whatever “viagra cello” is, it has been used or ordered or somethinged at least once before! Therefore, it must be in high demand.
Thus, dear readers, I urge you–scour the stock market for something that has to do with “viagra cello”. Whatever it is, it seems to be–wait for it–on the rise.
