Lines, Lines, Everywhere a Line.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jim @ 2:01 pm

Yo! Check this out.


I can hear you all saying to yourselves, “Yo, Jimbo. I don’t see anything.”

I figured as much. It’s the horizontal line that goes across the page. Lookit! Lookit! See?

I did the same thing in a post the day before yesterday, which you can scroll to or click here. Go look. I’ll wait.

[humming…tapping foot…humming some more]

OK, you’re back.

Now, don’t even think about telling me that you noticed the lines when you first saw them then. If you had noticed, I would have expected comments such as these:

”Jimbo, congratulations. Great lines, man. I really mean it. They are really something.”

“Awesome lines, Dude.”

“Jimbo, you are the Linemeister!”

“I have been depressed for months. Two days ago I was on the way out of the house to throw myself in front of a bus and I glanced at my computer and saw your lines. They changed everything for me. I’ve come to realize that I have a lot to live for. And, guess what? This morning I heard that I was hired for my dream job. Thanks, Jimbo!”

But did I get such comments? Nooooooo. That’s because lines are child’s play to you Virtuosi of Stylesheets and Houdinis of HTML – You who change layouts with the ease of changing socks. To me, Mr. Techno-Stoooopid, doing lines is a big farookin’ deal.

I can do lots of lines, like this.




Hell, I can make the line appear in the middle of the page, like this.


And, I can make ‘em fat, like this.


I can create interesting visual art. I call this one “Reading Between the Lines”.


The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.


I’m drunk with power.




Now, I shall rest.

Update: This is for ‘Neck, the smartass.. 😉

  4. I don’t know, though.

    Those lines are kind of blocking up the scenery; breaking my mind.

  5. Craig,

    You just saved everyone from a rant about no one recognizing my clever musical allusion.

  6. Well, Craig beat me to it. Trying to figure out if you have now placed that song in my head… If so, then I can no longer sympathize with your Henry the Eighth theme song Sunday. Time will tell.

  10. I’ve been studying the secret lines for hours with my PRS decoder ring and I still can’t decipher parts of the secret message. Here’s what I have so far:

  16. Horizontal. . .sweet!
    Can you do verticals??

    Comment by MCPO Airdale — November 20, 2005 @ 10:24 pm

  17. Verticals? Maybe with a year or so of concentrated study.

    Comment by Jim - Parkway Rest Stop — November 21, 2005 @ 3:40 am

  18. I got the email you sent, tried to reply, but got the finga’ somewhere along the way. I don’t see no blue lines? Oh, and the vertical lines… hell man, they’re easy watch…
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    | |

    Note, the spaces between the vertical lines, are actually invisible horizontal lines but you can only see ’em cause the vertical lines were drawn before the invisible horizontal ones. Nice eh?

    Smart ass in deed! 😉

  19. Wow – miss a day… miss the lines! These lines come in second only to your farookin’ great hair!

  20. “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.”

    I hate to whiz in your Wheaties, but your keyboard-checker sentence is missing an “s”.

    Try “jumps” 🙂
