   I logged in and it gave me this page: “You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.”

   Holy wow I feel like I missed a lot.
   Tell ‘m I said congratulations!

   Wish I could at the moment

   FVE-Man, I’ve updated the code. Is it working?

   “Tell ‘m I said congratulations!” I appreciate your congratulations, but I’m not in an actual program quite yet. (Harvard offers open-enrollment summer school courses which don’t award degrees. My main goal with the course is to show to prospective MS programs that I can handle the material).

   No worries, Carl. It’s a hard economy. Thanks for your consideration.

   Man, I do hope I can help you. But I’m just a poor student.

   Yep, the new code works fine. Good luck with school!

   “Man, I do hope I can help you. But I’m just a poor student.” Understood. If you could swing it, even small contributions are greatly appreciated. (If 1%* of readers gave $1, that’d come out to something like $2500 a year). If not, I understand–it was deathly difficult for me to procure employment while in school.
   
   *Converting 1% of free readers into voluntary donors would be quite a feat, though.

   B.Mac, I swear there was something else there too when I made my post. … XD And yes, good luck.

   “B.Mac, I swear there was something else there too when I made my post.” There was! In the original version of this post, I included a sentence describing why I was asking for money, but I removed that because it struck me as too mawkish. Suffice it to say that I have two main needs for money, neither one of which is procuring enough grenades and killer bees to seize control of Madagascar. (At this point, another attempt to seize a Third World country would just be throwing good money after bad).

    Do I even want to know what happened the first time?

11. # Nightwireon 29 Mar 2012 at 9:12 pm

    Grenades and killer bees are for chumps. If you want to take over the world, death rays and Arctic strongholds are where it’s at. Think big, man!

    “Do I even want to know what happened the first time?” They made a meme about it. Madagascar destroyed me pretty thoroughly.
    
    Maybe I should have started with Mozambique?

    @the Gif: Woah, that looks… obtusely offensive. Seriously, blackface?

14. # B. McKenzieon 29 Mar 2012 at 10:22 pm

    I would recommend against reading anything into a 3 color drawing probably put together with MS Paint. It looks a lot more like a matter of the artist’s (lack of) talent than anything malicious.

    Hah, I know. I just think it’s really poorly thought-out

    By the way, B.Mac. Could you please give me some critiques on my female characters: http://www.superheronation.com/2011/08/27/red-flags-for-female-characters-written-by-men/

    You must be thinking think I’m a blatant attention whore.

    “You must be thinking I’m a blatant attention whore.” No, I appreciate tactful reminders.
