Speaking as someone who has The Badger as wallpaper...what the heck was that thing about anyway? posted by konolia at 12:51 PM on August 24, 2004
dogmatic, unless your "title" hover links aren't working somehow, nth gave more context in this FPP than most. I wouldn't be thrilled if all FPPs were like this, but I think it's definitely a humorous and well-researched example. posted by LairBob at 1:04 PM on August 24, 2004
Yeah, the hover tags told a lot and were a Good Thing. Good post. posted by Ethereal Bligh at 1:14 PM on August 24, 2004

You mean you don't know!? posted by reklaw at 1:43 PM on August 24, 2004
Okay, I don't know either. I have looked through the FAQ site, and I can find nothing in the InJoke web pages. So what is the joke with the 'badger' besides a song which makes me wish I was computer illiterate.
An interesting, but annoying way to post, these are labor intensive, which makes me wonder what the higher level thread is about. Anyone? posted by fluffycreature at 4:36 PM on August 24, 2004

Correction:
An interesting, inventive, highly entertaining way to post. Way to go nthdegx!

Very nice. Thanks. posted by mooncrow at 6:39 AM on August 25, 2004
(The post is fundamentally different than yours of October, soyjoy; instead of obviously being many links that are variations on a theme [though well-researched indeed], it is subtly many links that initially appear to be one [annoying] link [that everyone knows about], which reveals itself upon mouse-hover to be cleverly [in my opinion] cut into discrete well-summarized component links. I know I didn't need to explain that, but your sarcastic-seeming link to your prior thread implies disagreement with mwhybark's assessment of the inventiveness of the post. I concur with mwhybark, but what do I know? I've never posted on the front page.)
Nicely done, nthdegx. posted by gohlkus at 11:47 AM on August 25, 2004
I don't know why you find it sarcastic-seeming, gohlkus. The link is there to make clear why I do agree it's an interesting, inventive, highly entertaining way to post. Obviously it's not exactly the same, but to my eyes there are more similarities than differences.
