"We are Nirvana The Band, the live musical that will never play the same show twice. To not let us play on your stage would be a terrible mistake. We are Nirvana The Band. For now; forever; for better; for worse. Four -- times four -- is sixteen."
aka "it's always cloudy in canada"
(this is funny tho)

All I can say is, thank god for Google Chrome and their awesome 'hold shift and scrollwheel to scroll right' thingie. Because if I were stuck in IE or even Firefox on this site, I'd have to do that annoying 'click scrollwheel and then move mouse vaguely in the direction you want to go, but not too fast -- wait, that was too fast, now you're at the end of the page -- nope, that's the beginning again -- slowly this time... nearly there -- wait, that's the end again -- fuck it, I'm done here' thingie.
Or - heaven forbid - click the actual friggin' scrollbar and drag it. Does anybody under the age of 90 actually do that anymore?

koeselitz - you have to hold shift? All I have to do is scroll with my little scrollwheel. Nothing fancy - ancient USB Intellimouse 1.1 - but in this case, Firefox 4 beta + OSX for the win!
Thank god for the combo, 'cause if I was on Chrome I'd have to hold down a modifier key...

(Testing - yep, both Safari and Chrome make me hold down shift to scroll horizontally. Fx4 apparently detects pages that only scroll in one direction and just scrolls with no modifier. Sweet.)

OSX? Who uses OSX? Heh. The behavior I'm describing seems (in my experience) to be the same in WinXP, Win7, Gnome (Ubuntu & Fedora), and KDE (Ubuntu). (Of course I haven't test IE on Linux, but...)
Not to extend this little derail to far, but it's always really, really annoyed me what Firefox and IE do when I hold 'shift' and scroll – they scroll through my page history. So I go to scroll and suddenly I'm loading the last ten pages I've visited in succession – it's a mess. Seriously, why would anyone think that's a useful behavior? Are people in the habit of scrolling backwards in their history to a page they visited half an hour ago? You don't even know what you're scrolling to until the page finishes loading! I'll bet OSX doesn't allow that little annoyance, however.

Wow, you're right. FF autodetects scroll-right-only pages. That's nice. So why isn't there any way at all in Firefox to scroll to the right otherwise?

On my mac, I just use touchpad gestures to scroll. Two finger swipes down to scroll down, two fingers swipe to the right to scroll right. Its seamless.

This show is one of the funniest, most creative shows I have seen in a long time. I particularly like how each episode plays off of other shows. And... the extra stuff is almost as funny as the episodes. I hope these guys come out with more stuff.

You know what we can deduce from all this off-topic scrolling talk?
That side scrolling websites are stupid.
