South Carolina, I have a favor

Hey, South Carolina. Do me a favor and please don’t screw this up tomorrow.

Also, to everybody who commented in the post below, thanks. I honestly didn’t know that many of you still read Shyzer. You guys rock :)

Edit: Welcome, CNN readers. Don’t bother reading this post, check out the good stuff.

Whoops

I spent the last few days making a brand new layout for Shyzer. Then I realized that I really, really like this layout despite the fact that I’ve had it for over 20 months. Seeing as how Facebook Talk already has a recent new design and the layout really wouldn’t work for Hey, It’s Free, I guess I’ll just pocket this one for later.

Not to say that this is the best layout ever, but it’s far from horrible and has everything I want in a design. Clean, some bold colors, clean, straight to the point, not much fluff, clean, and CLEAN. Everybody knows that when somebody types IN ALL CAPS, it’s as if they are screaming at them. Well when I go to a website and there’s so much stuff going on that I can’t tell what is what, then it’s as if the website is screaming at me. Which means I close the tab and move to another site. That’s not what I want Shyzer to be like and while the new layout isn’t busy or dynamic or screaming at you, it’s not quite as low key as this layout.

This is all an extremely moot point, however, because nobody reads this damn site anymore. Surprisingly, that doesn’t really bother me though.

I challenge you to a Beard Off

EDIT: Looks like I wasn’t the only person who felt this way.

We all know I love beards. They’re awesome, easy to grow for real men, and . There are plenty of examples out there of men who have sported the beard at one time or another and they all look better with a little scruff. Brett Favre, President Baltar, Goob - You name it, most guys who rock out with the stubble are light years ahead of their non-stubbled peers.

Gaius Baltar has a beard
Goob has a beard

But there are a few people who shouldn’t ever grow a beard. It makes them look like a hobo, a bum, or at the very worst, a hobum.

David Letterman is one such man.

Yeouch. Buddy, it ain’t working. Kudos for the effort and I wish more guys would follow your lead, but I’ll personally send you a razor if need be.

I don’t even know what copyright means

What’s my favorite part about the new year, you ask? The parties? The resolutions? The college bowl games? Not even close.

It’s the fact that I now get to the edit the copyright year at the bottom of all my websites. For some reason, it’s so fulfilling yet pointless at the same time and I love it.
