Sixteen weeks ago my classmates and I ventured forth from the relative safety of our computer desks, and began a voyage of joy and frustration that we called DHTML. The first half of the journey was pretty smooth. The weather was fair and the road was mostly free of potholes.
On the second half of the journey, however, a giant black hole called JavaScript opened up and swallowed the entire class. That was kind of a bummer. But our passage through the black hole wasn’t completely in vain. It was, above all else, a bonding experience. I’ll never forget my comrades in arms and their valiant struggles against the beast. Their bravery and sleepless nights will go down in the annals of history as one of the finest accomplishments of this generation.
How does this great adventure end, you may ask? Well, I don’t really have the answer to that question yet (you can ask again on Monday after 4 o’clock). As for this traveler, however, I suspect that the journey stops there.

That is some whit, and I do very much enjoy that whit! Bravo. Great use of metaphors.
"That was kind of a bummer." had me in stitches, I can see you saying that.
Thanks for being part of the struggle against the beast! It has been a grand, and arduous, time.
The black hole will hopefully spit us all out. But now i am scared it wont. We will have to follow rachael with Jason defending from marauders. and maybe Mercedez doing some wizard stuff.
Thanks for the comraderee everybody it has been a group effort to get through this class.
I know that JavaScript was a black hole that did swallow up most of the class. It did help to know that I wasn't the only one who was struggling with JavaScript.Thank you for the help and all that I learned from you. It has been a good journey thanks to my fellow classmates.
I have actually seen/heard you say "that is a bummer" many times, i like the black hole comment to.
at least in a black hole you don't have to worry about how to change the color, it stays the same...black, if it is indeed black.
i got to thank you guys for being a part of this group to, the help i have gotten from some of you that i know. so thanks.
oh Dean i'm not sure if Mercedez would be able to do wizard stuff
she'll probably be asleep after wednesday.
A black hole?! How clever... I made JavaScript out to be a terrible storm.
All I know is that JavaScript will be the name of many things, of that which is frustrating and an extreme pain in the BUTT! However, the Design Comrades saw overcome and WE WILL see the promised day!
