Thought I'd share this with you and Mud. A couple days ago, Mud pinged me to a thread that Mia T had started. After waiting almost 5 minutes for the thread to load, I noticed this comment by "Boris" to Mia T:
Boris: "I truly hate your graphics."
I asked Boris why he hated them, and if it was because of the thread loading time. Here's his very humorous response.
(I thought it was humorous.):
"No, I hate them for the same reason I hate Brussels Sprouts.
Once a decade I will taste Brussels Sprouts, to see if I still gag--and if they taste as awful as I remember from the last time.
Nothing could possibly taste that bad, I tells myself.
Then my taste buds remind me that something can. People who like Brussels Sprouts are not of this Earth; trust me on this.
Nobody could possibly waste time preparing such ugly, distracting, and poorly-designed HTML rubbish...but one little taste of Mia T reminds me that they can."
