"And now to Dirk Hurkington for the weather. Dirk?" "Well, Bob, that's a lovely hairpiece you've got there. As you can see, we have this low pressure front coming in from the south. Reminds me of my wife, har har har. Say, aren't these clowns funny? They're from the Big Apple Circus. Anyway, temps are going to be in the eighties. Remember the eighties? Man, I had the biggest crush on Deborah Harry. Anyway, off in some state thousands of miles away from you that you're not going to visit, it's going to hit the nineties ... " Umbrella Today? YES. NO.

I'm sorry, but the link you are calling is no longer available. Please look through the archives and post a link again.

You know, it didn't come up on a site-specific Google search OR the dupe checker.

I put my postcode in and the little bastard shat itself.

Hm. Perhaps it's because the original excludes the www? If so, it'd be nice if the dupe checker's logic could be upgraded to cover that. And here's what I mean about it not showing up on a site-specific Google search.

It's probably just me, but FWIW, I've never, ever seen the link: option work on Google.

So, how about Eddie Vedder recording an anthem for the Cubs, huh?

Hm. Maybe the link: and site: operators don't work in tandem ... just doing "link:metafilter.com" works, for example.

Fuck and alas.

Kinda funny that the site's own search engine caught the dupe when the dupe checker didn't ...

Pretty nice weather here in Western Mass, by the way.

I haven't had to use an umbrella since I don't know when.

Umbrellas are evil.

Yeah, that might be it. I've never cared to see the whole inverted, reverse link history of the entire internet, just individual sites.

Your not supposed to open them after they've been inserted. It's a common mistake.

ARRGH! You're! GOD DAMN I HATE THAT MISTAKE!

Well, I think the link-site combo works but only in an extremely loose definition of the word "works." Example.

I wish it would tell me what color umbrella to take.
