From Vice.com

I just had to share with you all this bit from their "Do's and Don't's."  The column always cracks me up and often has some great fashion choices, too.  (Yes, I'm a fashion nerd.)  This is almost a replay of a joke they did I put online at a comic book message board that shall remain nameless and you should have seen the outrage.  Not that someone was being made fun of, but the idea that a superhero might have been made for a kid and not a grown-up.  Anyway, enjoy.

Girls use lower-back tattoos to encourage your subconscious to think about doggy. When guys have them it makes you think of prison. Throw in some cartoon characters for 11-year-olds and you're basically taking a shit in my brain.

Hey, how do the other bloggers here do that fancy quote with the quote bubble thing? That's neat.

Oh, wait. My post did it. I just can't see it very well. FORGIVE ME.

In HTML, you put the less than sign () in front of what you want to put in the bubble, then at the end, do the same thing, except with the / before the word "blockquote".

It's fun and handy!

And of course, I can't type correctly. in front of the words you want to put in the bubble. I is dumm.

See? I still can't type correctly, and you know what you're doing anyway. Cronin should just come in here and delete all our comments.

Thanks, Greg, but my own dumb brain spoiled your lesson.

I don't get it. Somebody explain again.

Don't get the quoting thing?

I remember your earlier tattoo controversy, and I agree with this one as well.

I mean, fine, get a tattoo of Wolverine or something. No big deal, just a little nerdy.

But a logo? This guy looks like he lost a bet. Or maybe he went to the tattoo place and said "I want Wolverine on my back!" and the artist spent 2 hours playing a huge joke on him.

Wow, there is nothing dignified about that picture. From the love handles to the asscrack hair to the farmer's tan, that is one giant advertisement for abstinence.

There should be a "snikt" sound effect emanating from his hairy asscrack.

Yeah. I can't figure out quoting. I like Do's and Don'ts. "Nice Purple Track pants, you fat bitch!"

The "blockquote" button when I'm posting has it, too.

Yeah, use blockquote when you're posting, but in comments, just remember

Just with a / before the second blockquote.

I got the quote thing to work once.

I forget how I did it, though.

So let's see.

Did it work?

OK, I screwed it up.
All the stuff I tried to quote didn't post at all.

Let me try it again.

(It seems geeky-nerdy comics commentary has been trumped by geeky-nerdy interweb wizardry commentary./blockquote)

Let's see if THAT worked.

Ah... OK.
Allow me to explain it to those who are as confused by the comment instructions as I was.

Basically, you're going to place the lesser-than "" - WITHOUT the quotation marks that I just placed there, with the word: BLOCKQUOTE inbetween them. No spaces. Just Lesser than symbol, blockquote, greater-than symbol - all in a row.

Then, type what you want in the word balloon.

After that, repeat the lesser-than, blockquote, greater-than stuff, BUT you have to place the slash "/" just before the word: BLOCKQUOTE.

Again, no spaces between any of it.
Well...except your actual quote.

Good luck.

Somehow the horrible mess of quotes within quotes within quotes going into an indecipherable clump complete with insider techno-babble seems fitting for a website dedicated to comics...

It’s fun and handy!

Ya sure? ;)

Go to google.

Type in "html blockquote."

Get educated.

I was actually on Vice not my best fashion choice, however - http://www.viceland.com/int/dd.php?id=523&country=us

I remember that one! That's awesome!
