FireFox users: Bring Vince and ConVince With You!

I already miss the political banter and debating, which has died down. If you are a FireFox user, go to your plugin control and download a pluggin called FoxReplace. What this does is replace text on Web pages on-the-fly based on a list you provide.

So when you replace republican with republikan and democrat with demokrat in the pluggin settings, you get something like the following when you load a page... it's like having the FFU political fighting with you every time you browse the Web!

Haha. I can think of a few good shenanigans that could be pulled off with this feature :))

One problem is it will also mess with your inputs... I had to turn it off and edit a few times to make sure I could have my post end up correct.

It would have been nice in the day to have "VAMusician()" and "Richmond Rebel()" just show "Meade Skelton()"

A friend of mine is a strict vegan, and she's always on these vegan websites looking for new recipes and stuff. Next time I have unsupervised access to her laptop, I am totally installing this plugin so that it changes the word "tofu" to "beef". :)))

lol. Then change "beef" to "tofu" and hope it doesn't end up in an endless loop and blow up the computer. And then in two years tell the friend she's been eating beef all this time.
