Internets vs. Scientology

[osaraba]

Exerpts:

--- It was the perfect internet anarchist protest. We shouted slogans. People with ghetto blasters played announcements. We shouted at THEM. People with megaphones addressed the crowd. Sometimes we cheered and clapped, sometimes we shouted "TL;DR!"

--- We were busy heckling him (anonymous has no problem with criticising anonymous), when he reaches the end of his speech and presses play on a boombox. ... RICK ASTLEY: NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP ... The crowd went fucking wild.

--- There were numerous demands for "CAKE!" - Shortly followed by much more enthusiastic cries of "THE CAKE IS A LIE!" ... Then someone came round with cakes, prompting happy exclamations that "THE CAKE IS REAL!"

--- A friend had a banner with "SCIENTOLOGY MAKES ME A SAD PANDA!" which the media snapped a lot, we chanted it for a bit, then started demanding to know why Xenu/Tom Cruise/Scientology hated pandas.

--- LONGCAT IS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!

--- the looks on the faces of the scientologists when faced with a crowd in which a lone voice shouts:
"I HEAR TOM CRUISE HATES MUDKIPS!"
(all) "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

--- How do you, ideologically speaking, defeat a crowd that is enthusiastically demanding that you "DO A BARREL ROLL! DO A BARREL ROLL!!"?

--- when someone grabbed a loud-hailer and shouted something a bit offensive, they were booed down with shouts of "FAIL!" and for every moment of vague menace, there was something hilarious.

LOL you know I think I'm the only person who is not on 4chan. Sometime I think I should rectify that but then I go look around and it drives me away again. *le sigh*

On a side note in your layout how did you get your tags to be displayed the way they are?

Oh wait, please do not misunderstand -- I am SO not on 4chan. I barely know what it is. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) some of my closest friends are, and the "inside" jokes trickle down, ya know? I don't know where half the jokes come from, or what the reference, but I recognize them. Except the Cake jokes. That's Portal, and PORTAL = LOVE.

As for the sidebar -- you can look at my sourcecode here. It may only apply to the flexisquares style, though. It starts with this:

function print_sidebar()
{

##### Config #####

# Specify your delimiter! One char only -- extra chars get truncated.
# Making the delimiter an empty string will result in an un-tiered list,
# which may be what you prefer, but this code is serious overkill for
# that purpose.
var string delimiter = ":";

And ends with this:

##### End Box Order #####

I would recommend looking to see if there's an LJ community for how to customize your LJ style in s2. That's where I got a lot of my code, although I am generally familiar with code, so I knew how to tweak something here and there.

LOL, at least I'm not alone on not being on 4chan. I swear sometimes I think I'm the only person not on 4chan.

LOL I feel so silly, I dont know why I asked about your coding cause coding makes absolutely no sense to me. I'll have to get someone to help me but thanks. At least now I know what its suppose to say.
