Heh, it detects when you are coming from FARK.

Hey, EvilEgg, I think this might be the first time a house gets farked.

Ha, it welcomes farkers

 
EvilEgg [TotalFark] 2005-12-12 03:27:04 PM  
It is, perhaps, one of the worst designed sites I have ever seen. A drunk chimp could've made a better looking site.

But I guess it's the thought that counts.

 
nin_man 2005-12-12 03:27:10 PM  
Awesome, a welcome message. :)

 
ThatGuyGreg [TotalFark] 2005-12-12 03:27:28 PM  
In other news, "gullible" has been left out of the online version of dictionary.com, a subtle nod to the classic trick.

I dont' doubt that he might be giving money generated by ads, etc. to charity (the guy's a goof, but not evil)... but I'm surprised that anyone would still believe that website is anything but a gag after the last couple years.

awesome...I just like the personalized message...neato

The welcome message kinda freaked me out. If he's ready for us, why are the cams offline?

 
ThatDevGuy [TotalFark] 2005-12-12 03:40:42 PM  
Karmacidal: If he's ready for us

Probably cause it's bright daylight in MST areas. We don't have sunset at 1:30 like you Alaskans do in December. :)

He's looking at you EvilEgg



Okay, maybe chapter 3 could have lost the whole 'juxtaposition of Anne Frank and Bea Arthur' but it's a pretty great novel nonetheless.

/oh, pretty lights!

 
Outtaphase [TotalFark] 2005-12-12 03:42:18 PM  
He turns it on at 4PM MST, which makes sense for a light display.

I have Celiac. It's not fun. No wheat, oats, barely= no beer. I found out I had after I went on a 9 week beer bender in college and thought I had an ulcer. Now I can only partake in moderation, if that.

That chimp is sober, give him a fifth of potato vodka and then see how well he codes.

Bard's Tale Brewery makes gluten free beer. Tastes like real beer, it's just a little extra bubbly.

www.bardsbeer.com, I think. It's blocked by Surf Control here at work.

/My dad and brother have Celiac's
//Woo! Dodged that genetic bullet!

 
nin_man 2005-12-12 03:51:09 PM  
goodgollymissholly: I have Celiac. It's not fun.

A friend of mine has it. She looks on the bright side - between that and lactose intolerance, she absolutely cannot gain weight.

Here is a video from 2002 that he links to of the house:

http://media.putfile.com/WizardsofWinter-SM

I have to admit, that is pretty cool.

 
sosumi470 [TotalFark] 2005-12-12 04:14:16 PM  
Wait, I stand corrected. That was another guy's display using a different (faster) switching system. Still pretty cool, though.

 
jrsharfan 2005-12-12 04:37:12 PM  
Great idea, great cause.

I hope we fark his house though.

No Such Agency 2005-12-12 06:38:43 PM  
EvilEgg: That chimp is sober, give him a fifth of potato vodka and then see how well he codes.

I tried that experiment with my chimp. He came up with:

"He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy's parents had told him BANANAS BANANAS BANANAS..."

Got to love the handwritten sign on his desk with Fark on it.

that must be the most annoying website I've ever seen.

Uhh just a note to the kids out thar a 9 week bender will do this to anyone.

Drink bud, Its got a lot of rice in it, so less barly... unless that genetic defect puts hops on the list too, But since they are not related to wheat I don't see that.

On topic, it's nifty that the guy actually made it work this year.

 
skylabdown 2005-12-12 06:50:10 PM  
This is the sort of thing that makes the intarweb so farking fantabulistically awesome.

 
hulkster 2005-12-12 06:55:18 PM  
100% real this year guys ... but hey, I would be skeptical of anything I say! ;-)

Recommend you read some of the local media reports - needless to say, they were a little more thorough this year. The Rocky Mountain News one is especially good - they made 5 trips out here including one "secret" one.

Their conclusion: It's a real as the almost $3,000 I have raised for the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research.

P.S. Load factor on main server is currently hovering between 50-60. Other servers are looking good. Glad I asked Scotty to get some extra Dilithium Cystals ...

This is an order I choose to ignore.

does the FARK X mean he's mad at us?

 
pshaw 2005-12-12 07:06:58 PM  
Farkin' cool, man. Very cool.



I'm leary about throwing my credit card numbers around. Is there a paypal fund?

/Yeah... Sorry for being picky.

 
baschalove 2005-12-12 07:08:49 PM  
"X" usually means off... hence "FARK OFF" ???
And what is he looking at?

Great site pal, and for a teriffic cause at that. I hope you raise mucho dinero. Give the kiddos my best.

My guess: his computer.
