What's wrong with dude? At least I don't use it as an all-purpose interjection, even in real life. "Duuuuuude." "DUDE!" "Dude?"

That would work only if every fiver had a link to the front page, and that would be a horrible idea. There's gotta be hundreds and hundreds of fivers by now, and that's a LOT of links to load every time.

I meant, click a series/whatever, then click another random one in that category.

Do you know what a 'dude' is?

If you know a definition of "dude" other than "a colloquial/slang term for another person," I DON'T want to know it.

Uh, if it takes two clicks, it's not "random."

If it takes one click it's not random because it's probably influenced by your subconscious somehow, blah blah, psychobabble. How is two clicks any less random?

I don't know, I think the point everyone was trying to make is 'it's too hard right at the moment'. But I do agree, it is a really good idea.

I'm sure Zeke will put it on his 'soon' list.

It is *not* random gobbledegook.

It's pedantic, arcane, convoluted gobbledegook.

Pedantic, arcane, convoluted gobbledegook about making stuff RANDOM!

Hence, it is random gobbledegook. Insert a relevant latin phrase here.
