I was using the .net URL because my work had blocked the .com address (game sites are disallowed, the nerve!).  Apparently the .com isn't currently blocked, since I'm here, but I'm worried I'll be blocked again.  I need my daily dose of MATY!

Many thanks, JM.  I am so grateful to have a spare site to link to.  Sooner or later the .com site will be blocked at work.

Seriously? I thought that was a joke...

But whether it is or not, I guess w/ servers and stuff, it doesn't matter which country it's based in.

not a joke at all...  hence the little flag up the top.

Milton is also one of JM's alter egos.  Some of his domains were registered to Milton Norfleet.

Yeah, and for some reason, that always made me laugh, although I'd be darned if I knew exactly why.

Go google the malaysian flag.

The malaysian flag is all that you see above...  it's not just the blue bit with the crescent.

Yes, it's similar to the US flag, but it's NOT the US flag!

Notice that in contrast to the American flag, the bottom stripe on the Malaysian flag is white.  The bottom stripe on the American flag is red, because there are seven red stripes and six white stripes, for a total of thirteen.  There are fourteen stripes on the Malaysian flag.  This is of course in addition to the obvious difference in the blue section with the 14-pointed star and crescent on the Malaysian flag instead of the 50 stars on the American flag.

I had a flag puzzle.  Bloody hard one too; you had to match the flag with the name of the country, and all the slots looked exactly the same and with a bit of effort you could fit the wrong piece in the wrong slot.  My brother did that so much that the edges of the cardboard wore away, and after a while all the pieces were so rounded it was impossible to know if a piece was in the right slot without looking it up in the encycolpedia.

The purpose of the flag is simple: Certain parties obviously seek to have us shut down. These parties are invariably based in the "western" world, typically the US. The foreign flag, therefore, serves as a "Neener neener!" sign to taunt them about our out-of-their-reach-ness.

When and where did I say the flag sucked?
I know I have a good forgetory, but I'm damned sure I didn't say that!

Didn't mean to attribute my opinion to you Ness, which is why I quoted your comment about "anyone else disturbed by the flag."

Um...who? :D Lol. This is actually an up-and-coming pretty boy that was in Gokusen 2. Hayami Mokomichi, I think. 6ft of yummyness!

Oooh, wait. I just googled Takeshi Kaneshiro. I was semi-drooling the first time I watched House of Hidden Daggers. And he speaks Chinese so well! Damn him indeed. ;)

Ditto. Did Malaysia do something that I'm not aware of?

Unless they found some other random-ness and not this one.

They most certainly HAVE had an effect. Have you searched for "Nesses" or "hairy-bellied" lately?

Yes, actually, I have. "Nesses" turned up nothing but garbage. "Hairy-bellied" led me back here, though.
