who was that anyway?
tommyI need some help.
- “Of course you need help, tommy. You ain’t right!”
I mean I need someone to help me with Sticks of Fire.
- “Yeah – those colors… did the same guy pick the Bucs original uniforms?”
No – the colors are fine. I mean I barely have time to update the thing, yet I am compelled to update every day.
- “You don’t update every day. In fact, I don’t recall any posts on any Sunday.”
There was one. But anyway, that just goes to prove my point. I’d like to have something new every day. Do you think other people would want to write on Sticks of Fire?
- “I doubt it. People don’t even want to read Sticks of Fire.”
Hey, c’mon, it’s the most popular blog in Tam—
- “Relax, I was just joking. I’m sure someone out there has something to say. Why not on SoF?”
So, I just ask other people to write stuff and they will send it in?
- “You could just open it up, and let anyone post anything.”
Well, I do have my own personal ‘stinging satirical wit’ to consider.
- “Whatever. They could have said ‘constantly forgets headlines,’ which is actually true.”
Thanks a lot.
- “No problem. Hey, the other guys indicated it was ‘more than just a blog‘– and isn’t that the idea?”
Absolutely. But making it ‘more than just a blog’ takes a lot of time.
- “So, invite other writers, and be an editor.”
An editor.
- “Yeah, an editor, idiot.”
I don’t even know how to properly write, much less ed… editoriali… uh, be an editor.
- “Fake your way through, just as you have for the past year and a half.”
You do have a point… I guess.
- “Now, about these colors…”
If you would like to contribute to Sticks of Fire on a regular basis, please contact tommy: tommyduncnATyahoo.com Send an example of your writing style. By the way, this probably won’t be limited to just a couple people, so don’t be shy. And yes, I’m still going to write stuff here…

Be carefull, I think the abbreviation “SoF” is copyrighted by Soldier of Fortune magazine.
Those are the guys that just ain’t right.

Dilutin’ the flavor? You wouldn’t add water to a bottle of Bookers. Sticks do start fires but a light shower can put out the flame.
I prefer my SoF neat.

Well if you come across an original thinking web designer, send him/her my way.
I’ve used the wellstyled.com link that tiny provided, but found that the colors I picked showed up differently on my computer than on other people’s computers. not sure why. It’s a good site tho, worth looking into!
and it’s damn good thing you’re not right in the head either.

check the little box at the top:
“Reduce to “safe” colors (WebColors)”
Keep in mind that everybody will see something slightly different as monitors, monitor age, monitor settings, color settings, OS’, and eyeball brain combinations are different.

SCHIZO STICKS
Check it out: Tommy at Sticks of Fire is talking to himself. And amazingly, it got the desired result.
But in a sense, aren’t all bloggers really carrying on a public monologue? I guess you should only worry when the blog starts talking back (c…
