As you might know, I have a talent for crashing websites (particularly mine) and it always ends with me eventually screaming “IT’S NOTHING HARD LIQUOR AND A HAMMER WON’T FIX” and Victor hiding the mallets while he curses and struggles to fix whatever I’ve done. I’ve been told that WordPress server/sites/whatever are almost unbreakable and so we’re going to put that to the test. It may take a few days for your personal ISP to switch over to the new site (which is the same address as the old site but is located in a different place and I have a headache just explaining that) so if you don’t see a new post by next week that means you might need to tell your internet provider to refresh their DNS settings. I’ll have a new post up on Thursday and you should be able to see it if everything switches over quickly like it should for most of you. Until then, please go and read yesterday’s post about the best taxidermy finds of my entire life.
Also, hat-tip to the multiple brilliant readers who realized exactly what that strange, unidentified taxidermied creature was that I brought home:
PS. Scrot is short for Scrotum. He also goes by Phteven. I may have spelled that wrong.
PPS. Giant thanks to Pete, Nate and Nick at WordPress.com VIP, who’ve worked very hard with an extremely grumpy Victor to make this switch. They assure us that if we still manage to break the site it’ll be free ponies for everyone.
PPPS. You won’t be able to leave a comment until your DNS picks up the new location. The blog will be in maintenance mode for a little while during the switch. It’ll say “Comments are closed” on this post until your ISP updates to the new location. Once you can leave comments again on this post then that means you’ve made it back home.
Be careful out there, you guys.
We’ll see you on the other side.
I really enjoy wordpress, but then again I don’t crash websites I just kill electronics. So until someone makes a Sarah proof tablet, computer, phone, tv, or toaster, I am still screwed.
Tally Ho.
How the hell did you leave a comment? Wait. How am I leaving a comment? I think I’ve done this wrong. Hang on.
I use wordpress and it’s worked out nicely for me. Or so says hubs..he’s the one that does the boring IT stuff.
My husband has been trying to convince me to move “The Jousting Life” to WordPress. It seems to be working for you, so maybe I’ll give it a go.
Leaving a comment just because I want to be a rebel
Hell yeah!
It seems obvious now, but I haven’t seen any of the Ice Age movies in years.
Phteven!
I’m in! Congrats on joining wordpress nation!
So…if I can comment, I’ve already moved and have nothing more to do? I’m so confused.
(It worked! You’re here! ~ Jenny)
I’d like to raise a toast to the future with no crashing.
Holy crap. Is this actually working? How the hell did that happen?
woohoo…I’m here too.
I have a few blogging friends who keep trying to get me to move over to WordPress, but I am lazy and probably unwilling to learn new tricks–and I might be prone to breaking things also.
so if this breaks who do we contact for the pony. and can we send a picture of the pony we want?
Ponies all around!
Oh I hope it breaks!! I want a free pony. Purple please. 🙂 With a horn and wings. Unless those cost extra.
I guess so, since I couldn’t comment earlier, but now I can. Congrats on your surgery-free transition.
I want a winged pony!
I made it!
I am putting that (“it’s nothing hard liquor & a hammer won’t fix”) on cup! 🙂 although I think I should change it to wine to better fit me ;)! So glad my computer figured out the switch over! Yea!
Comments! I can make them!
Hey! You didn’t break it yet! Welcome to WordPress.
I think we are here (we as in the squirrels in my head)!
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey now… scrotum.
I’m trying to figure out where I’ll put my free pony.
Shenanigans I’m commenting.
YAY! I can comment, again! Welcome to the WP world! I hope you test the limits of their servers!
Is this going to be like crossing over? Are you the WordPress whisperer?
WordPress works for me… although I would like to spruce my blog up a little. I think by “spruce up” I mean that I need to become a big-shot programmer and artist to make a fancier site. And while I’m at it, I should work on becoming a better writer, a better dancer, and probably a better housekeeper too.
the magic of the interwebz
Where should I leave my address so that you can ship my pony?
HOOORAYYYYY!
Scrot!
Thus the saying, “Pony up?”
It worked! Yay for you but boo no pony for me. I will drink coffee liquor until I feel better. Or imagine a pony, whichever comes first.
I can comment. But I work in IT for my ISP and made certain I could so that probably is not helping you any.
Comment!!! Yay!!!! Comment comment comment commentcomment comment comment .
Ok, I’m done now. More importantly, I’m in!
Nope, I can’t see this post, nor can I comment on it. Off to send you an email on where you can send my free pony to!
It worked, but according to the timestamp I am posting this tomorrow.
I couldn’t comment when I was at work. No doubt that’s the Universe telling me to be more productive (it also once told me not to have children. http://www.nottalkingtomyself.com/2013/06/the-universe-is-telling-me-not-to.html). But I can comment from the home machine. Yay.
Fortieth!!!
Yay! I can comment! Love the name… I still think you should call the deer Deerdre Von Hoofmanstov. Because of reasons.
Whoo Hoo!! It is working for me!
Hooray! I’m here too, and in one piece!
YAY!! I’m home!! 😀
Commenting, commenting!!
I like squirrels.
Hello? Did I make it? Am I here? Can I have a pony now?
Commenting 🙂
Woohoo!!! By the way, love the new taxidermied animals. Seriously made me snort from laughing out loud.
Woot
“Phteven” almost made me snort my morning tea. Through my nose.
Hi, Jenny! Thank you for being awesome!
It’s working!!!! I’m here!!
I love WordPress, hopefully you do as well! Out of curiosity, what platform were you on before?
Woo hoo! It’s working!
Wow I feel like I’m entering a portal to another dimension. A really frigging hilarious one! Count me in!
I’m IN! WOO!
feels so good to be real
“I’ve been told that WordPress server/sites/whatever are almost unbreakable and so we’re going to put that to the test.” Challenge accepted. Now where’s my pony?
Commenting to see if I can. Also, wine.
I found you – and so did my IPS or ISP or UPS driver – whatever it was you mentioned! Yay!!!
Comment!
If this works, l think you should bring home the lion that is horking up a hairball. It seems fitting to celebrate with him.
cheers!
throws glitter
Wine.
Scrot seems a perfect name for him!
And let the battle cry of “Challenge Accepted” ring out, after all we’re talking free ponies!
Hooray for hard liquor and hammers!
Well, hello there.
Easy as cobbler!
Commenting just for the sake of commenting.
and its all good! looking for my unicorn to be delivered by UPS.
Yup!
YAY! I can comment! This is not a real comment. Move along.
I can vouch for the stability of WordPress, I use it quite a bit at work.
Best site and taxidermied dressed-up animals ever.
Test test test! Works for me, too!
OK, what do I win?? They said there’d be pie…
I’m a little proud that my first comment on your blog is a minor act of rebellion. I knew I was waiting for a reason besides chronic fear of rejection. HYFR
Can you see this, or is it just lost somewhere in cyberspace?
Ignore this comment. Nothing to see here . . .
I’m in! Yay! I want a pony too!
There you are
ooh, cool! all that behind-the-scenes crap must be doing whatever it’s supposed to do. right on.
HA HA…..I was able to comment!
Commenting..
Is it secret? Is it safe?
Hard Liquor and Hammers! They always mixed well in my mind.
Woo hoo! I’m in!
this is not a real comment.
Working on this end.
I feel that making it to the new site is a good sign for my evening!
Also: weevils are cool.
Just scribbling something insignificant just cos I can!
Frito-pie is better with Chili Cheese Fritos. Fyi.
Yay it works
Yup, it worked!
I made it. It was a very trying time. Had to travel through a tunnel, cross the Thames, and escape flying monkeys in Equador. But I made it. I can leave comments… And found my guiding light that is…Jenny Lawson…the bloggess!!
Yay me! I get to comment again!
Free ponies for everyone makes it sound like a challenge. I think we are up for it!
Hello, world
My new favorite snack (after peppered beef jerky) at Buc-ees is Beaver Nuggets. Because I like to say the words “Beaver Nuggets.” “Man, these Beaver Nuggets feel good rolling around my mouth.”
I thought it was brokeneded, but it seems fine. Yay for Victor; boo for no ponies.
Testing testing…because it’s a great reason not to fold laundry.
I’m here! I’m so glad you didn’t leave me behind…
W00T! It’s working!
PS. You don’t have to log-in to wordpress or anything else to leave a comment. That’s just optional if you want to.
Ce n’est pas de commentaire.
I am commenting! Phteven!!
Hooray! We’re live!
Great Scrot, that’s one…. weird little critter.
Weee! I can comment!! dances around with a chicken
Yes!
Testing, testing, 1 – 2- 3. Testing. Ok, raise your hand if you can see that.
(it is, however, a pipe.)
Is this working? I say, IS THIS WORKING? Somebody? Anybody?
I’ve been thinking of relocating from Blogger, but I’m scared. Do you have to Get A Man In, to do it?
Yeah! I can comment. Boo! No pony. 🙂
Yep. I’m in. Rats. I wanted a pony.
I always wanted a pony.. Good luck getting yours. Or not … I’m not sure which.
We’re here! And we’re alive!
Weren’t you always on WordPress, Jenny? You were using the Thesis theme so I’d always assumed you were on WP. lol
But the ponies…Ok the link thing hates me. Does that count for a pony?
I CAN COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can comment! YAY!
Comment!
Did it work?! Oh yay, it did!
I’m glad for you and the blog and all, but was looking forward to my pony. He was going to keep ClipClop, my unicorn, company.
It works, it works! Also, WordPress is full of awesome sauce.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
You’re new host works fine. By the way, I can no longer stop thinking about Frito Pie, and have to make it this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!
Liquor, hammers & Frito-Pie…fixes everything…kinda like duck tape!
🙂
Based on all the comments, it seems like none of us are getting a pony. Damn.
Was hoping for a free pony, but glad this works!
Seamless!
hubby will be building a stable this weekend, not be we currently have any ponies but I have faith in you
Woo-Hoo!
Yeah!!! I crossed over to the other side!
Ohh I can comment, so I think I’m good! 😀
If this comment is posted then it means my DNS isn’t calling CPS about my IRS. Seriously WTF?
Please put the hard liquor and a hammer quote on something in the store, please!
Rejoice!
I am betting your WordPress VIP account reps are about peeing in their pants with happiness to have you as a client. They always love payment in taxidermy, by the way.
Testing this in between sneezes. Because DEDICATION, that’s why. And possibly allergy medications. (It seems to let me leave a comment, but won’t let me leave my info via Twitter.
Welcome to your new home!
Testing, one, two. Check. Check. Sibilance will fall…
I am home! big sigh, shoes off, coffee in hand
Scrot and Phteven (that’s Steven with a ph, right?)! Thank you for fixing my borkenness.
Because wine…and taxidermy.
I’m reading your book right now and I love it!
Scrot needs a bigger nut. Wait. Did I just say Scrotum needs a bigger nut? I meant to be Scrat, Scrot needs a bigger nut. Oh, you get the picture.
I don’t think the cats will like a pony free or not. And I know my husband will not like one but will understand if I tell him “it’s because of The Bloggess”
I’m out of wine. 🙁
I want a donkey if anyone cares lol
Looks like I can comment. I had to re-enter my name and email, but I’m at least partially real.
Facebook works, but Twitter doesn’t as a log in.
Boobs
Woot!
oooo Ponies??
We’ll try again. Yeah! I crossed over to the other side!
Site is working ~ guess I don’t need the hard liquor or the hammer, after all. Well, maybe not the hammer.
Postallicious!
I have no comment at this time.
waving
Well how about that!? Here I be. Thanks for making me laugh, esp. when I really need it.
I now want a t-shirt that says “IT’S NOTHING HARD LIQUOR AND A HAMMER WON’T FIX”.
I’m good!
I feel like I have won the lottery – I am back in – I’m back in.
I figured it out!! This is big – I’m the polar opposite of technologically advanced. The link thingy likes me now. No pony for me.
Yep!
Time Warner in capital city Columbus, Ohio damn well better be on top of stuff . . .
Yes! I LOVE how fast my internet peeps catch up with changing times. Also, I want a pony if/when WordPress hands them out. Just saying.
Testing
Testing, testing.
Here! And, as Jim Porter mentioned, I arrived tomorrow.
Hope you didn’t really break the internet 😉
Comment? I can has comment?
Well, so far so good. Those of us who can’t shut up, are typing away! Well done WordPress & Victor!
Here I am!
I’m ready for ddrinks and hammers!
Hello, world!
Phew! I made it. Scrot is your most delightfully disturbing pet yet:-)
What is up with the date timestamps? It is 8:00 pm on Jan 14, 2014
Nope, not working at all 😉
Thank you for never visiting my site.
It works! I’m here!
Yes
Mickey Mouse roll call…sound off!!
Shit, that makes me seem really fucking old, doesn’t it?
PS~LOVED your reply to the chick who didn’t appreciate profanity!
couldn’t get past the personal ISP information instructions……prefer the hard liquor solution
Is this a phishing fake steal-my-internets LEAVE A REPLY box, because it looks very different than before, and it would mean that VodafoneNZ actually reset Jenny’s DNS without a threat of nuclear war, which I find hard to believe. Regardless, I shall push the “enter” key and see what happens. If the space time continuum tears and my VISA card is charged for everyone’s Frito Pie, well, that would sort of be awesome. Here goes. Boom.
I see you!!! (can be said in a creepy or non-creepy way – your choice) 🙂
Yea commenting!!
Not only is it TOTALLY weird that I can comment already, but apparently it’s actually already tomorrow morning (not this evening, like it feels like here).
Working here!
Thank goodness I have arrived at The Inner Sanctum!
Yippeeeee!
Comments are a go! Now go get a drink. I suggest persimmon/cinnamon infused vodka, my latest addiction. Oh, you haven’t heard of it, well here: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/108508672245960313/ You’re welcome.
Hello? Hello? Testing? Is this thing on?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Just commenting to see if I can! Looks like yes. Hooray!
Working!
Testing. 1…2…3….
Seems to work. 🙂
Hoping this works…
Yes
Looks like the hard liquor and hammer worked. Can I get a shirt that says “Liq’d and nailed?”
years ago, a few months after 9/11, my boyfriend and i went to a ryan adams concert in D.C. Afterwards he stopped at 7-11 and got a fritto pie. i woke up in the middle of the night to him crawling around in the hallway crying out that he had gotten “anthraxed.” we are no longer together. he didn’t die. although that would’ve made for a much easier breakup.
Woohoo!!!
Being surreal instead was so interesing, though….
Have I made the cut?
I don’t normally comment, but I need to make sure I don’t miss out on any of your awesomeness!
Hi Jenny, can you hear me now?
I think it was the collective weight of hysterical laughter over your previous post that crashed your site. Laughter that big is a force to be reckoned with! Glad you’re back up.
Wish I had something creative or even slightly interesting to say…but no.
…but not sure why it says I posted this…tomorrow. Future me is still boring.
I made it to the other side, yay! And my house didn’t fall on anyone’s sister.
The post made it to my reader (theoldreader.com), but the embedded picture did not. Once I clicked “out” to your blog, everything was intact.
And wow! I can post in the future, too! I must be clairvoyent, or psychic, (or psycho?!?), or maybe your blog is set to GMT?
Did I make it, did I make it?
Works for me…..
But my post says it is tomorrow already… Hope it doesn’t get too windy, glad I don’t live in Kansas because something is horked up.
Awesome sauce I’m in!
I’m just a flower, with nothing interesting to say.
yay!
Hello!
Dr. Who visited WordPress from the Tardis and used his screwdriver on the DNS, hence the date and time confusion.
Wishing I had a Victor… I’m using blogger because I don’t…
Got it!
Phew, it works. Wouldn’t want to miss out on anything!
I’m feeling torn – I hate when your site is down but I could really use a free pony
I made it!
I read that as “Have I made the cunt?” and I wondered, well what does that mean?
This space intentionally left blank.
because I… CAN!
guess it worked, woo hoo!
Boo. yah.
This is me commenting on being able to comment. Welcome to WordPress!
Dammit, I wanted a pony. I was going to name it Steve. But it is definitely not tomorrow here yet.
I win
Woop woop, we all seem to be here! And I feel less lonely with my tiny wordpress blog. Though…the ponies would be interesting. Do ponies get on well with cats?
Tah-dah!!!!
Scrot
It worked! Yay!
@Woman on Pause: I kill electronics too. My husband, who is an IT guy, has ceased to be amazed when my computer or iPad or whatnot does weird things or just stops working.
Oh thank goodness! I made it!
Congratulations! As previously noted, the time stamps are wonky. But that’s okay because now I can tell people I’m a TIME TRAVELER
Not a real reply …
huh? hello…..? what happened? where am I?
WOOHOO! Made it! So this is what the other side looks like?
Oh thank God it works for me
bellows Barry Manilow
Loooks like we maaaaaaaade itttttttttttt!
Wow. My DNS resolved to you…. the world is a much better place now.
Yay!!!
Ponies? Now? PLEASE?
I made it!! Loved your book!
The following comment is a test of the Emergency Bloggess System. I repeat, this is only a test.
{………………….loud annoying noise……………………………}
If this had been a real Bloggess emergency, the sound you heard would have been followed by instructions on how to leave giant metal chickens on peoples’ doorsteps. Thank you for participating in this test of the Emergency Bloggess System.
Am I still imbissibles?
Yay! I can comment. Thanks for making me snort coffee through my nose “Scrot is short for Scrotum” and he totally looks like the Phteven dog.
I’m very excited that the move succeeded. However I’m most disappointed at the lack of ponies. I was hoping to trade in my goat for a pony.
Yay! I made it through to the other side!
Whoo to the hoo!
Whoa. The internets works. Well done Victor. Please begin drinking heavily.
We’re glad to see you back. WordPress has been a pretty awesome platform for me, but I don’t have the skills and talent you seem to have at crashing sites and servers.
Also, my husband wants to have a conversation with Victor, to know how to survive as a long-suffering lover, fixer, supporter, and enabler.
Oh please tell me I’ve made it to the other side!
How many hammers should I use to follow you on WordPress? Gah! This stuff is difficult!
Ahhh, things look strange and weird! I’m scared.
whoo hoo – you do realise how many comments you are going to get to this post – it will be hilarious
Testing. 1..2..3
Scrot!! love it, ROFL
I’m leaving a reply because I might not be able to.
OMG, I CAN! YES!
test
Hmm… the “other side” is kind of sparkly. But, you know, in a good way – not a creepy stalker pedophile vampire way.
Hello new IP location 🙂 Looks like no free ponies for us. Uh … yay?
Crap, no pony for me.
This better work, or someone’s gettin’ a skinnin’
Am I logged in?
finally 🙂
Wohoo I can comment!
Must comment so I can be part of the club.
Glad to hear Victor was only hiding the mallets, and not the liquor!
Lost the picture in the RSS feed (via Feedly on iOS7) but otherwise thumbs up. Probably a one-time glitch from the switch.
I’m in?
It worked! Damn, I really wanted a pony…
Checking if I’ve made it
Yup.
I’m commenting! Why does it say January 15th? Did I hit a wrinkle in time?
I already have a pony. Thanks anyway.
i think you’re time stamp is off. I know it’s not 2:00 a.m. here in Minnesnowta.
Your time stamp is off….but that might be intentional to make us all crazier than we are.
Test..test… Wait!! No!! No tests! Crap! Now my test anxiety is kicking in..
commenting?
Testing, testicles, testosterone, test, test, testes, tesla.
No ponies, please. too much shit. I shovel enough as is…
Did I make it over to the new place?
Beam me up, Scotty!
How do you pronounce Scrot? Long O, since it’s short for Scrotum?
Just wondering.
Love WordPress! Good choice.
I see dead people….wait…I mean your comments are working. And I can follow you legitimately now, in WordPress, not like at your house or anything weird like that.
Yay! I can comment! I feel so accepted. (Doesn’t take much.)
Comment
Hard Liquor and a Hammer – I would see that band.
Hurray! I’m in!
I feel like i am finally part of the cool club…or that wordpress is like a web tardis or something
Woot woot!
I want a pony. But a plastic one with “Hasbro” stamped on the foot, not a taxidermied one wearing a top hat and monocle. I will settle for getting back on your site. 🙂
Dude! 300!!!
WOOT!!!! Holy batturds, I made it!
Ha, hope you like it over here on WP. I have a big hammer if it doesn’t work out, though, just in case. 🙂
See you on the other side of the webs!
YEAH!!!! Now I won’t have to search for your posts. Congrats on the move!
Dude! I’m in! Don’t break WordPress, I just kind of figured out how to work it.
Testing 123
Woohhoooo! I want a unicorn.
Yay! I didn’t get lost!
smiling and waving! I want to move to TX just so I can shop at all the creepy cool stores.
Yay! Its working. Love Scrot, we have a chicken named Peckerhead- I bet they’d love each other.
Love the posts!
How are you posting from the future, people?!
Good old WordPress!
Frito Pie?! Is that even a thing?! Is it deep fried?! Oh, BTW, I can obviously see comments… next to see if comments can see me…. And, if we can’t get ponies, how about pictures of ponies?
Weathered the storm, or stormed the weather, or feathered the worm…
Sign me up for a unicorn, too! And a walking taco with extra cheese and sour cream.
I wonder… is this thing on?
YAY!! I got it
oh no! this is so unexpected! i don’t have a speech prepared! i’d just like to thank the bloggess for being so great, and understanding, and for bringing me to this post.
hello? testing? testing!
testing testing I wish the comment box was at the top
Comments! Easy-peasy 🙂
Looks like TWC in San Antonio has you up-to-date. Now to see if this will let me post.
Woot!
It works, woot!
Test test test!!
Am I back yet?
I like WordPress because they don’t seem to have the issues that other sites do (LiveJournal). It’s nice to be able to use my WordPress account to comment here now.
🙂
Working! (Said like Charlie Sheen)
I would like a purple pony with an orange mane. Thank you. And maybe a tiara or big 60’s cat eye sunglasses. You decide.
Woohoo..it works!
Looks like it’s working on my end, yay!
Ponies??? Because…comments
I think I can comment…
Hooray it works!!
Am I here? I think I am here. . .
I love wordpress!! Plus I love the comparison!! I have dog that acts like scrat, not that he chases acorns but that he is such a spaz!! He always freaks out when I call him up on the couch, like really!!! He flips out like I could be so amazing that he can sit by me. It’s kind of like if a celebrity asked if they could have coffee with me, so I understand. To a dog I must be that awesome!! I don’t know, I just know this post made me laugh!! 🙂
Workin it!
Yeah – back to business as usual. Glad it seems to have gone smoothly for you!
Yayy!! I’m HOME!!
I was getting anxiety just thinking about the possibility of pondering over “DNS settings” 😀
Looking good.
I can’t be the only person hoping this shit breaks, just for the free pony.
I use wordpress for my blog and have had no problems. Of course, I get maybe 1% (probably <0.5%) of the traffic you do, so probably not a good comparison. 😉
Hellooo and I guess we’re having taco pie for dinner tomorrow night!
Woo-hoo!! I was worried about losing my connection….but looks like I’m here! Yay!!!
I want a pony.
It’s Stephen with a PH!!
I’m new to blogging AND WordPress. I reset my whole site back to Day 1 when I tried to edit a page. Now I’m too afraid to touch it, AND I got an email that said I need to upgrade… wait, upDATE?… to the newer version and it might be challenging. MIGHT BE?! I CAN’T EDIT A PAGE!!! But, I have so much to say, so I’ve got to take it on so I can get my shit going. Does Victor have a minute and one last nerve to lend a hand? HA!!! It’s one more nerve than I have. I’m going to go finish the bourbon now…
Let me be the 348th person to say that Victor is a genius and this works!
Woo-woo! I made it!
Hooray! The Internet works!
Are our comments being used to test if your tribe can crash this new system?
only you could break breaking the blog
Free ponies!! Count me in!!
I have no clue what you just said but I’m suppose to leave a comment I think?
I guess we’re all good. I think. Jenny you’ve got the awesome in you.
Hooray! I’m part of the future now!
I don’t crash websites or kill electronics, my specialty seems to be automobile engines. Sad that my Volvo died today. Happy that I wasn’t left behind. Sad again that there won’t be ponies, I could use the transportation!
Of course, half the battle was getting to the end of the comments. 😉
I’m really glad this worked, because I once had a pony and he sucked donkey balls.
I want to give a shout-out and two thumbs up to Victor. I work in IT and changes like this suck. Glad it all worked out well. Way to go you two. Teamwork high-five
I think I need to pack a lunch and make the drive out to that store.
WordPress for the win!
Yes, you got it sorted. When do we get our ponies?? or wine? or both?
Birdie
I’ve just re-read your post . . . we need to try harder to break wordpress so we can all get ponies .. .. .. tell all your friends to post comments . . . let’s all try to break it!!! Free ponies for all!!!
<3
Birdie
Comment…
Crap. I was hoping for a free pony.
Pony? Where are the ponies? I want a pony!
We Lawsbians are a great website breaking bunch. Just organize an official get-together and we’ll have WordPress at its knees. And then we’ll all get ponies. Can mine please come with a horn and wings? Also, went to a PTSA meeting last night at my daughter’s high school and happened to be wearing my LPTNH tour t-shirt. Everyone who spoke kept looking at me in a very confused manner. It was fairly awesome. 🙂
Thank you for the hilarious joy you bring to so many that you crash WP just by being your self!
Holy shit it was scary out there, thank the bloggess I am home!
Definitely looks like Scrat. I think he’s his doppelgänger.
I really think that Ferris Mewler needs this – https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151936274376130&set=a.443444786129.234228.18468761129&type=1
Here I am. (waving) Over here! England! Love your stuff, btw. Smashing.
Have arrived safely. It’s good to be home.
Testing…testing…
I don’t have room for a pony, can I have a kitty instead?
Home? I never left!

success, after about 25 minutes. Please create t-shirts for “IT’S NOTHING HARD LIQUOR AND A HAMMER WON’T FIX.”
Dude. Comment.
Is “next Thursday” really “someday?” – oh, you are clever! and thanks for making me realize I need to get a bladder hammock.
🙂 Guys, I think we all made it. Or we’re group hallucinating. But group hallucinating about a switch to WordPress would be a bit dull for a hallucination, so we probably made it. I think.
Testing, testing…
BTW, my husband and his friends used to call each other “Scrot” all the time in high school. Because they are boys.
Also? Gonads.
so what does it mean if it will post my comment, but not link to my blog?

I have faith that if Target can accidentally give all my credit card info to thieves, it must be possible to break the Internet. Good job Jenny on moving your site without breaking it! However, typing in this comment field seems to be a little herky jerky.
Did i get a pony?
Yay! I’m home too! You are the most delightfully twisted person I’ve had the pleasure to read and your antics and this blog bring myself and my family constant amusement. Thank you for writing and bringing us together to laugh. 🙂
Completely off topic here…was looking up your book on Goodreads, typed your name in but your book didn’t come up, it was then I saw I typed in ‘Jennifer Lawrence’ instead of ‘Jenny Lawson’. Apparently the two of you overlap in my mind, a fact that has been hidden in my subconscious until now.
Phew. I made it. It was a LONG, HARD road to get here what with all the scrolling and all, but I am here!
I am pumped you moved to WordPress 🙂 Now I can get notified of every new post. Huzzah!
Somewhere over the rainbow, riding the communalcorn~weeeeee
Can you read me now???
Scrot makes my life!
All the other kids.are doing it…
Now I can post from work, so clearly I’m not meant to actually work today.
And my apartment complex and I both have strict no-pony policies, so someone else can have mine.
I had a pony. Ponies are evil. 😉
Testing again… Did I make it to the other side?
If this post, then I’m there. Phew!
yep, I see how this change has screwed things up for you Jenny. I am number 400 on the comments. I rarely get to say anything so early on. Send my pony. or unicorn. or smiling lion, I liked him too.
I don’t want a pony, but my next live animal is going to be named Phteven, for sure. It’s a race on which of my current geriatric animals will go first. Could be dog or cat, but I think it works either way, for any gender really. I also think I will start using Phteven at Starbucks as my new drink name. My current go-to is ZhuZhu. They always ask how it’s spelled…like it makes a difference 🙂
Testing, 1, 2, 3, Testing. 🙂
Looks like I made it!
and the end and the beginning were always there before the beginning and after the end
That’s deep, Terri. Also, I think telling people they won’t be able to comment is a huge draw!
I got run out of an antique store last Saturday for taking pics, The Queen Mother of the Antique Shop I entered said, “I just CAN’T let you take pictures in here, you might move stuff.” My first experience with rejection…..I laughed at her and said “thanks for letting me come in your store”. What do ya do? Life is an adventure!! LOL (esp in Texas antique shops!) T:)
There’s no place like home! There’s no place like home! Woot! I made it!
Scrot… priceless.
I hope I’m viewing the new site!
Is this working? Can I still have a pony?
I can’t believe I was able to comment. Perhaps I am the kryptonite to your website crashing self. You think that would be good on my resume?
I’m here, I think…
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE
Welcome to WordPress! I love using wordpress, it’s wonderful. I’m glad to see someone with such bloggging importance is also using it, tells me I picked the right publisher 😛
Bwah ha ha…I can comment!!!
BOOM?
Scrot reminds me, all too painfully, of one of the strangest things I’ve ever auctioned off at my Goodwill: a churchkey whose handle was a taxidermied deer (I am told*) scrotum.
*My own experience and expertise in identifying the scrota of various large mammals is shockingly** limited.
**May not be the right word; offer void in Utah, Singapore, and the Solomon Islands.
Is it wrong to hope that WordPress does break….so we can get free ponies? 🙂
I sort of want a free pony, but don’t want to do without my Bloggess content. Is there a way to get ponies and not break WordPress?
Ooohhh….It works! So shiny and new!
wow. do you really read all these comments? that’s like a full time job. i was just testing to see if i could comment, but i want you to know that you are a wonderful person and i loved your book and i love your blog. your attitude about mental illness is inspiring. even though you have problems still, it helps to see someone make it out to the other side. thanks.
Lady, it’s up- yeah! Now I can carp at you about a new product. When will the “Caffeine Now” t-shirt be available? It’s a MUST.
Testing…testing…
Welcome to the other side.
Also, wondering if hard liquor and a hammer would be more effective than my go-to tool kit of hard liquor, a chainsaw and Hefty bags.
Still not getting my link included…hmmm
http://psb1969.blogspot.com
yay for having made it to the other side… I hope the booze is better here!
I yell for hard liquor and a hammer at work quite often. My boss is not appreciative.
I don’t know if you”re still reading this far down, but…http://www.shopdoctorwho.com/tardis-shower-curtain/
Still not able to comment…what am I doing wrong?
Hey, it worked that time:D!
I made it!
Commenting because ZOMG you follow me on Twitter 🙂
boo yea!!!
Whoo Hoo!!! But, just in case, how long does it have to go down for to get a pony?!?
Omg I love Scrot. Why didn’t I think of that? Keep him safe… it looks like Hunter might like him a little too much.
my oh my, frito pie
testing this as my reply 🙂
welcome to the other side. we have unicorns 😉
WordPress is an amazing thing. If only it came with a lifesize unicorn….
Her name is Svetlana ZakharHOOFa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlana_Zakharova_%28dancer%29
Nice new digs! 🙂
Welcome to WordPress! I hope it goes well for you, although it would be kind of cool to get a pony. Did you clarify with the VIP reps if everyone will get live ponies or taxidermied ones? Just curious. Makes a big difference in the maintenance and upkeep.
Since we don’t get free ponies, how about a cutout photo statue of your balloonist kitty-n-Pegasus?
Although a balloonist unicorn would be even better: a balloonicorn.
I could actually display that it in my house when my daughter’s 7yo friends visit without having to babble explanations. And it won’t scare the neighbors. Or the visiting door-to-door missionaries. We’re friendly that way. We chat enough with our local missionary that he brings his trainees here first. His name is Tom; their name is legion.
Thank you for many fine coffee breaks.
I’m here!!! I think….
Can I comment yet? Yes? No?
trying again, yes-no
Oh HEY, it worked! Whoa. That was like, being locked out of the bathroom or something.
Carry on– everything’s cool again.
Oh it works! Life is good again! 😛
Is it pronounced ‘Scrot’ as in ‘pot’ or ‘scrote’ as in ‘wrote’?
Wooohooo! I’ve made it to the dark side. Somehow I thought it would be much darker.
Yes!! I am on the new site!! SWEET!! 😀
BTW, I love that I can use my Google+ to log in!! (I deactivated Facebook before Thanksgiving. Best thing ever!)
I haven’t had issues on WP but then again, I am not The Bloggess and have a rabid following who will buy me a communalcorn.
But my experiences with them thus far has been good.
Woot, Woot – we all seem to be moving back in after they bombed for termites.
I’d like a pony, but I’m okay with looking at the ones on the pony farm down the street.
ps… I figured out the linking thing. YES!!!
I’m HOME! And Scrot is terrifying.
I’m in!
Home at last!
Holy hell this is depressing because I’ve been struggling with my site since a panic-attack-infused moment told me that I should change blogging platforms rather than have a bottle of wine back in July, but when I clicked on the link to see if Pete, Nick or Nate would be able to help me undestroy my site, I discovered that I am nowhere NEAR a VIP. So I’ll be sticking with my current from of IT consisting of virtual duct tape and shamanic chants to keep my site in tact.
That said I’m glad that your site is back up and running.~
woot!
Yay! I’ve missed leaving comments! 🙂 I went to tons of thrift stores today, but didn’t see anything taxidermied. I guess it’s not a big deal in Northern VA! We do have a deer on our wall, but it’s just your ordinary run of the mill whitetail. Although he does wear a Santa hat all year round. That’s just because I’m too lazy to find a stepladder to take it off. Poor Santa Deer…
Knock, Knock Motherfucker.
I made it! Woot!
I’ve arrived! Woohoo!
Scrot- I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…..is this the other side?
Hello, tribe of Commenters!! Looks like I qualified, LOL!
I’m here!
I don’t comment much, but I like to have the option not to. Glad I still do. Love you so much, Jenny!
I’m in! saunters over to the closest person and does the secret handshake
Are we there yet???
What if I`m scared of ponies?
I don’t know if it was my suggestion that made you pick Phteven or just that the internet gives its gifts to everyone. I am taking another shot at trying to get the deer named Fawn Leibowitz (Animal House)
Testing…. 1 2 3…. Testing. Is this thing on?
I’m not sure if it’s on or not, Brenda, Fingers crossed!
I’m not sure if it’s on or not, Brenda. Fingers crossed!
Test post @00:15 Thurs est
Well, whatever all those initials mean, I appear to have made it to the other side. Seems nice enough 🙂
This is a test of my brain’s broadcasting system.
If I don’t make it to the other side, my life won’t be worth living anymore
YAY! I MADE IT!
Now. Time to get working on that free pony!
Odd, phone and computer share same WiFi, yet….
Never mind, it is after midnight. Duh, my router refreshes DNS at midnight.
If this works then my phone figured it out too… 🙂
My broken smart phone was connected before my trusty computer.
Meanwhile, I have learned a great deal about ISPs and now I have a headache, too.
@Kat, In cases like that I recommend dancing withershins around your PC while sipping ritual beverage. (ie wine). It may not help the website much, but it’ll help imrpove your mood!
😀 Also, Scrot looks awesome, if slightly nose-less.
Works for me
Always, always replace your pinecones with coffee cups. Much more useful. Can’t let the blood overtake the caffeine in one’s circulation. Unless you’re replacing the caffeine with wine….
That taxidermied weasel-thing “Scrot” reminds me of the “Phteven” dog. Google it. You’ll giggle like a complete lunatic for at least five minutes, guaranteed.
I made it! Woo Hoo!
Check, check…Testing. Can I still leave a comment on 1-16-14, at 10:44 am eastern time?
Woohoo! One less technical difficulty to overcome!
All I really know is that whatever you did, the pink on the sides is now so neon that my eyeballs are bleeding. Not necessarily a bad thing, just making a note.
Testing, because my other comment has gone missing. Look for it on your next carton of milk.
Wow …people really love ponies.
I think you’ve given me my new motto: “There’s nothing hard liquor and a hammer won’t fix”. It can apply to almost every situation in my world.
Totally trolling right now. Or not, to be more specific.
I always read, I never comment. But now I have to comment in order to make sure I can keep reading.
My head hurts.
Made it to the dark side! Would prefer a My Little Pony because, well, my daughter asked for it. Also less poop to clean up with a My Little Pony (and any poop they leave is sparkly and full of rainbows).
pony? what pony!
I want a pony. With a horn. A unicorn?
I just wanna know if I’m here or there
Where was this store? I love in Texas too and may need to go there.
I always thought “Miss a day, miss a lot”, was an urban myth – like the female orgasm – but its true. Kudos on the changes, Jenny. And thanks for being one of the coolest chicks in the Multiverse.
ponies for everyone.
Welcome to the dark side. I came here because I heard there were cookies, though I have yet to see any.
Well, I can comment if I use my Facebook information, but I’d rather not. The problem is that I have an old WordPress sign in, and it really, REALLY wants me to use that, and I don’t wanna! Whine….
(You should be able to comment even without signing in to wordpress. Try it. ~ Jenny)
Tension mounts! Will you be able to break WordPress???
Awesome. Seems to work fine. I like that I can use my WordPress account to comment and not have to add in any credentials.
Looks like I made it.
Yes, I sang that as I was writing .
Free ponies! Yes please! Wait, will that be live or taxidermied? (cuz I might have to make some preparations)
Scrot seemed like an endearing way to shorten Crotch Rot…But it may be Scrotum Rot.

Unrelated, but I thought you needed to see this. Decorative AND useful.
Are these fantastic antique store you frequent in the San Antonio area? Because my frequent haunts have been turning up nada as of late…
