The Eagles, The Return of The Fabulous Forum, and THe Los Angeles Shopping Bag Ban

[LeeVanCleef]

That seriously sucks, sleepy. It's a shame you missed the show. Eagles tickets are notoriously high-priced. Of course, that means the concerts only attract the douchebags who can afford it... so, on the bright side, you didn't spend the night with a bunch of balding accountants wearing their "concert" khaki shorts and taking videos with their cell phones. A great man once said "They call it paradise, I don't know why. You call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye." Oh yeah... the Eagles said that. But they probably didn't do that one in concert.

Lmao. Good one!

A footnote.
The unused ticket was reported by the giver and was exchanged for a Ticketmaster gift card, which was then mailed to me by USPS Priority Mail on Tuesday.
By Saturday it had not arrived, so I called family about it, got the tracking number,
and found out the letter with the card "was delivered" on Friday, according to records. I called Bob the Mailman at the post office and he told me the regular carrier for our mail was asked about it and claims that he did indeed deliver that Priority Mail.

Now, the accuracy of the mail delivery to the apartment where I live is dependent strictly on Fate. With the mailboxes for 103 units located in a single mail room location, pretty much like an Automat in its construction of little boxes all in a row.
the carrier often behaves as a dyslexic, putting the right mail in the wrong boxes,
and we always do get each others mail. And sometimes the door to the mail room is left unlocked, or is forced open by the local youth.

So the gift card was reported lost or stolen and is now cancelled. A replacement is on the way, but will not arrive until the end of this week.

Meanwhile, The Eagles have now flown and I've probably missed a Beatles reunion as well. I take comfort in the thought that I am with most of the people in the world
who won't get a look at that either. Come tomorrow, the locals will be at home here at the apartments as if nothing is going on at all.

The Mojo vid is breaking the Forum's front page Latest Post function.
It's not the vid, it's the placement in the Reply due to not having enough text in front of the vid player, so PN script ends up sticking the player in the Latest Post panel.







5 linespaces








You can add linespaces in front of the youtube code to push the player down and out of the way of the Latest Post sniffer, like this.

</br> </br> </br> </br> </br>

There are 5 line breaks in the sample code. Each one of these will add a linespace to the Reply, so the player stays out of Latest Post view, but these will position the player lower down, but in the same Reply thread, for having 5 linespaces above it, and it might take a couple more breaks to work.

 

[sleepy]

Or it may only take two </br> </br>



I used special code to get the breaks tags to show up in the Reply, else the forum script will process them as a command and they would then be invisible, but with two linespaces in the post.

 

[sleepy]

Man, I'm sorry CS. I had it WRONG.
To preserve the formatting, Uncheck the auto-parsing and embed options before you post the players and any custom codes and tags.

If you're looking for Mojo Nixon, he apparently lives here.

The reason I posted this is because I am fascinated with this video of The Coronado Island Bridge, which is the bridge to Coronado Island from San Diego and over the bay of much deep ocean water.
In 1967 this bridge did not exist, and I only found out about it tonight.
Long time. Haven't been there.

In 1967, the only way to get there was by sailing on The Coronado Island Ferry, and you could also do so with your car, but that wouldn't do as the only method for a current island population of 24,000 people.
