Hypometer: new look, same great taste

Okay, so never mind that post from a few minutes ago re: the Hypometer. It's moved. As I'm sure you must have noticed by now, everyone's favorite (even if they don't know it) monitor of pop-culture is no longer down the right side of the page. Instead, you will find new updates of the Hypometer in line right here in a post (assuming I can make it work). Really, I'm just doing it this way to make my life easier, and to see how it works. Bear in mind that I'm still working out the formatting and other such nonsense. As it stands, I took out the neutral mark in the middle, and instead will be color-coding entries on the continuum. Anyway, you can figure it out. So, without further adieu, I give you your Hypometer.

New in this edition: For the first time, things are falling off the Hypometer. Nobody is really thinking about the World Cup or the Duke Lacrosse Scandal or JJ Reddick anymore, so they have literally fallen off the radar. I'm still remembering the NBA Finals, thanks largely to the FIBA Worlds, which also made the list. How could anything with the word Hype in it not include the pop-culture champion of the summer, Snakes (on crack) on a (motherfucking) Plane? Regardless of its premiere more than two weeks ago, SOAP holds it down at number one. Also making the list: Tiger Woods, fantasy football, and the Irish. Seventeen items on the list this time. Here it is, kids.

Of course, by "rantings and ravings", you mean "mindless ramblings". You're a disgrace to the uniform.

Hey, Gandalf, I really don't wear a uniform. Mostly t-shirts, really. And jeans. Usually shoes. If that's a uniform, then I probably do disgrace it. Anyhow, "rantings and ravings" implies mindlessness, no?
