Deprecation notice

Aw. Madam Marquee.

Hey, when I think about it, every other time than the noon is after noon, afternoon. 🤔

🤔 No, it isn't. The fellow who invented the words "night" and "before" should shriek in C#. I mean the note C#, not the programming language.

Let's pretend we didn't hear the shrieks. Afternoon, applied to every other time than the noon. Because it looped back, right?

For example, morning. It's the post-noon of the previous day.

Night, obviously after noon.

🤔

But there's no "Good noon."

🤔 Everybody seems to ignore 12:00:00Oi, you're a reference now. Since you're about 1 minute long, then we won't use you in a greeting.

Like that boxing match between a kangaroo and a kazoo? The ring announcer won't announce the referee. Always like, Laaaadies and gentlemen… in this corner…! A Kangaroo! In that corner... A KAZOO! Never, The referee... 🤔 Or even the promoters, or the neighbours. Blimey, that'd take a while.

Try to say "that'd" and "that". Oh, precisely.

I remember from 2000ish to 2010, this was implemented quite often — marquee, not "afternoon". It was the time of GeoCities Heaven. And also on MySpace, remember? Delightful. 👀

Combined with <blink> element. <blink> is dropped from latest browsers.

Remember those MySpace pages, specifically for musicians back then, something like:

WELCOME 2 MY OFFICILA PAGE. YO YO OY! VEY!
RESPECT THE MUSIC
🎧🔥

Guestbooks that said "u rock!!1!" from someone named Jennay666.

And glitter PNGs of headphones with flames. Because… flames. We can't question flames. 🔥❤️‍🔥

Indeed, but they missed bits like:

  • Thou shalt not pause Track #3
  • Thou shalt not question the bitrate
Thou shalt respect... THE MUSIC 🎧🔥💀

And one of the tracks sounded like this:

Bruh,

respect... 👊

Music is titled "WONDER".

📜 Thou shalt not question the bitrate.

That reminisence above and this demonstration below should work until it's dropped by browsers. 😶

Let's make a tribute for Madam Marquee zu Wohlgefühlstein. As she's a spa owner who also DJs in Lederhosen.
