Beta test a humor thing?
« on: February 08, 2006, 06:45:21 pm »
Hi, sorry to just crash in and ask for people to look at my stuff without having been in here already...but I have this humor thing I'm working on, and I'd prefer to first find some people that don't suck. I'm just sort of randomly assuming that Achewood fans are generally above internet-average on my personal humor scale.

So, I'm working on this thing where you can add captions to Japanese commercials. It's currently here (and probably will continue to be):

http://www.jackpendley.com/av1d/

Anyone can enter captions; registered users can vote. It's still not really complete so it might be rough in some places. In particular, I downloaded the scripts that handly user registration/login from somewhere and haven't bothered editing the text to bring it in with the site. I also haven't put any help text anywhere, though I'm pretty sure after a few minutes of clicking buttons n things you can figure out what's going on. There are other interfacey things I'm still working out, but any help or pointers or really funny captions would be appreciated.

It's kinda not really ready for prime time, so I'd like to request that you don't post it around anywhere. Plus, once it get out to the unwashed masses, my numbers are all gonna get skewed.

Um. Yes! Since you used "fame" there, I'll take it. Yes.

I'm that person too. I am surprised and happy that someone would even remember.

And apparently I'm also leaking Dr Pepper like a guy with a whole big bucket of Dr Pepper with a hole in it.

Hi Spinn...

I know you must be enjoying the drooling fan boys, but I did actually try out/ sign up for the site.  As you can see from my captions for what I will call "Noodle pu$$y," (185 on the second page o' clips) I made a typo.  I think it would be great to allow your users to edit their captions.  It is otherwise a wonderful idea, and I will enjoy it much-ly.

Well I registered but I haven't made any yet. I like the idea, seems like it could be very funny.

Side Show yours was funny. I laughed out loud. But I surprised by its dirtiness. Not in a bad way, just surprised.


(woo, 100 posts and now of them were worthwhile!)

I can't get Side_show's.  No matter how many times I reload I don't get a clip numbered higher than 184.  Am I a moron?  I mean more than usual?

Note that they're grouped in sets. I'm setting it up such that a given set can eventually be closed after all the useful funny's been sucked out of it. So 185 is presumably in the second set. (I also just added a "most recent 5" list to make this a little easier.)

Yeah, I will be working out editing/deleting at some point. I think I have to make it delete all votes for your entry when you edit it, so I'm not sure if that's good or bad. (someone gets voted down badly, makes small edit so it gets bumped back to zero. not sure if that's preferable.)


Though hey, while we're getting all chummy and all, check out Jack Pendley's portfolio while you're there.
