Greetings, all. Since it's a Friday, I assume everyone is busy pretending to work and sneaking belts of whiskey in their morning coffees -- just the way it should be.
We just wanted to pop in and say that, no, your eyes do not deceive you: The site had some minor cosmetic surgery overnight, all in the hopes of making it easier and more fun to read for you guys. It was an outpatient procedure -- we just moved the ads over to the right so that they don't flank the text any more, and gave you a few new ways to navigate our archives. Our categories of "Fug Favorites" are more extensive, there are photo links in the sidebar to the collections of posts we feel like spotlighting in a given week, and the "Fug File" feature that appears under the headlines is for grouping posts by trend, or show, or exclamation of fright. So, for instance, if you want to read all the posts about leggings or the Desperate Housewives or which might make one shout, "WTF?!?," then you can. (The two of us are working like crazy to go back through the years and tag and classify all our old stuff so that you'll be able to find it. We are hopped up on Diet Coke and Twinkies and ready to go.) Down the road we're looking at ways to give you extra photos here and there, too. But, one step at a time.
So, it's all very simple. It's not even surgical. It's more like Internet Botox, in that casual Jennifer Aniston sense rather than a Nicole Kidman every-two-seconds-there-seems-to-be-a-newly-paralyzed-muscle-in-her-waxen-face kind of way. But don't worry -- we threw out the rest of our stash, so Intern George won't accidentally dip into it and end up with a frozen forehead. That would be tragic.
All the back-end plumbing should be in good working order, but if it's not, then... it will be. Even Botox has a healing period. (I assume. I mean, it DOES involve a needle.)
Have an awesome weekend.
