your sister trades sex for money, but then quickly adding that that will never derive into prostitution in any of its forms...
Clasic!
Welcome back Haloscan.

And in a show of unbridled bolivarian democracy, I am even allowing the people to tell me exactly how they feel about the new colors through an online poll...

Glad Haloscan is back!
I am still a bit sceptical about the new font used though, especially when in bold.

Hey, who you callin' an "hermano de puta"?
I didn't think so!
A palestinian friend of mine taught me that "hermano de puta" is one of the worst insults in his language. This El Troudi fellow would most probably not be happy about your comparison, Quico.

The color is really, really, really horrible. Unbearable!
Good Lord, please, please change it

No, c'mon Pepe, you're not paying attention: I am specifically *not* calling him a brother of a whore! To the contrary...he's anything *but* a brother of a whore. The fact that his sister takes cash for sex will never make her a whore in any of its forms...

Sorry, Miranda, but I can't help but notice you did *not* pick one of your three bolivarian poll options...or what, are you too good for democracy?!
(semi-seriously: there is NO color scheme that will please everyone. But the old color scheme had serious readability issues: certain browswers and monitors showed the links in such a light shade of green that it really was impossible to read them. That's not ok. So I changed it for readability more than for esthetic reasons.)
My new motto: you can get your Caracas Chronicles in any color you like, so long as it's brown.

Great poll choices, you are definetelly becoming more "democratic", chavista style.
Anyway I can vote otherwise?

People can play a bit with link colours (page owner by adding css code to force a given colour, users by resetting the default link colours in their browsers)
I think you can force your view of every link colour, I have to check that out.
Some groups (South Africa, companies) opt for using a lot of colours so that everyone is a little bit pleased (but then only a bit)

Quico,
On more serious note the second link is really scary stuff. TOTAL control of the economy via CADIVI.
Would the goverment keep the unofficial official market liquid enough to prevent a crisis?

The new colors are
Fabulous
Sexy
Stunning ???
Is this queer eye for the straight guy or something?
Sorry, couldn't resist.. but seriously the brown is just that: brown.

Im with Liz Sasquatch (never thought Id say that- we are breaking new ground here). Seems kinda mariconesque.
You forgot one option in your Queer eye poll: "Fierce", very, very popular among those circles.

Quico, the "stunning" should made you ponder (and eventually change the colour back to green).
I am sure all of us who chose for "Stunning" did so upon a long reflection and once we had seen it was the only adjective that gave more freedom of interpretation.
I hope Chavistas do not use this kind of poll as an idea for the next referendum:
"Do you want Chavez to be reelected in spite of the 2007 referendum?
- Certainly
- I am positive about it.
- Who doesn't?
- Yes
- Aye"

Pulpo, just what do you know about what's in vogue in "those circles"? Seems we did talk once about "sobrando partes," no? Seriously, glad to hear about the dog. (I saw that comment, well after you put it there. I can relate.)
Doesn't doo doo brown fit D. Excrement better? Someone suggest it to Miguel.
liz, Sasquatch doesn't mean you coming from Pulpo, so don't worry about the hair. But do you need to wait for someone else to call you Wonder Woman?
And I thoroughly agree with Kep's interpretation of "stunning."
Back on topic (for just a moment), I think I recall a tempest in a teapot over US Ambassador William ("Si se va") Brownfield once mentioning "La Republica de Zulia." He's Texan, and as Boludo Tejano would tell you, locals there talk often of "The Republic of Texas" without starting secession movements.
Oh, and did y'all (do I sound Texan now? Then I'll be sure to stop) see this? http://online.wsj.com/article/

Everyone's got a cousin...
No I once dated a woman who had a very annoying cousin whose every other word was "fierce". That is my point of reference. Y a el tambien le sobroban partes!

That was actually funny.
It dawned on me after posting that comment that I really dont know Quico's sexual preference and thought that that comment might have been extremely offensive to him if he were a homosexual. I recall a time when Sasquatch put together a blog for the world cup - it was in the most eye popping fuschia known to blogdom.
My apologies Quico.

Ay bendito - to be wonderwoman you have to have a waistline.

jijijijiji.. pulpo, that was actually funny! I probably look more like XENA, in a blondish-reddish kind of way.
Enough of this nonsense, Quico and Katy please do forgive me, bear in mind that today is friday and the sun is finally shining in my beloved Caracas.
