Adding DinnerJacket [Update: Ready for review]
July 25, 2007
%!^&@–I tried to add what I had written up for DinnerJacket, but it totally screwed up the spacing on the page! GAAA! I take full responsibility for this, and I’ll clean it up. I think I’m going to copy it into my HTML editor, as it will help me clean up and standardize the code. I’m sorry, Zombie….[sniff]
Update 10:37 pm CDT: Alas, while I have a nice clean version of the code, it’s still being interpreted by WordPress as mostly garbage. Blech. I have to get some sleep. I’ll have to mess with this tomorrow.
Update 10:45 pm CDT: Okay, turns out using the <br> is bad, bad, bad. Zombie, we should use <br />; i.e., the XHTML or HTML4 version of the line break.
Update July 26, 2007 at 8:33 pm CDT: Okay, I can squarely place the blame on Safari 3, as it does bad evil things. The problem is, as far as I can tell, an issue of line breaks. When I pasted in text from my HTML editing program, I believe it had Macintosh-style line breaks (carriage returns), rather than Unix-style (line breaks). I think that caused the insanity, as WordPress parses the HTML you enter to simplify it to their style.
So, a word to the wise: if you’re on a Mac, don’t use Safari 3. Use Firefox.
Getting back to the point of all this, DinnerJacket has been added, as well as a link to Ahm-A-DinnerJacket, which is how it first appeared and is how it is first referenced on other blogs. Please review and comment.

vbush — llooks good. But since there is a prior usage on Harry’s Place, you should move the enitre entry to ‘Terms that Probably Did Not Originate on LGF (evidence pending)” instead of where it currently is.
At least for now.
Eventually, we should make the whole dictionary a straight alphabetical list, and simply incidate clearly in standardized format for each entry where it originated.
A task for the future.
