We just wanted to say thanks to all of our readers for their patience with our commenting system over the last day or two. The frequent inability to log in to comment on DCist is a problem that's currently affecting all of -Ist sites. Rest assured that our technical gurus in New York are working on a solution, and we'll be sure to let you know when things are back to normal. In the meantime, keep trying, as some readers have been able to comment today.

We'd be remiss if we didn't mention this before Artomatic closes: our arts and managing editor Heather Goss took a quick photo of the above wall by Sarah Bever, which prominently features a few select members of the DCist commentariat.

Afternoon, ladels and jellyspoons! It's once again time for your weekly roundup of all things comment: What's That You Say?

What's up, people? It's time, once again, to venture down comment lane and check out the best and brightest from our post-jump adventures from this past week.

Hmm, it seems like the right time to lug the trusty ol' machine which spits out the week's best comments out of storage, and give her a whirl -- and What's That You Say? has got the keys to start the engine. Vroom vroom.

It's a lovely weekend out there. What better way to enjoy it than by taking a look back at our favorite conversations which occurred within the black space of the sunless internet in What's That You Say? So kick back, put some aloe on that sunburn you cultivated yesterday, and bask in the cool commentalicious goodness ahead.

Howdy out there -- it's yet again time to review the best of your contributions to our little corner of the internet. As usual, your reactions didn't disappoint; so grab a cold beverage and prepare yourself for the commentey goodness ahead of you.

Fred Phelps and his cadre of fanatics were in town earlier this week, protesting local high schools in an attempt to yell at teenagers about how gay people and the military-industrial complex were killing God in America. Or something. In any case, most of our commenters were able to burn through Phelps' followers' wacko-spouting with little delay, but it was demonfafa who really nailed it, earning our Comment of the Week:

Afternoon, fellow commentarians. There was a virtual explosion of comments this week which deserved special recognition, but, we can only include so many of them -- read on, if you will.

A happy Saturday afternoon to you, highly regarded DCist commentariat. It's time once again to highlight the crème de la crème of your contributions from yet another lively week of posting. In what way could you better round out a day full of running and protesting?

A big hearty hello out there to all of you in comment-land. Another week of hard-hitting DCist action is in the book, and you certainly weren't shy about sharing your opinions on everything from crispy duck to how Maryland's going to fund a new soccer stadium.

That's right folks, we're back and here to stay, with our new slot on Saturday. It's been quite some time since we last talked, but hey, what's a few months between friends? (Hey, you clamor, we listen.) With that out of the way, sit back, grab your second (or, if you're like us, third) cup of joe and enjoy the best of the week that was amongst the DCist commentariat.

The Washington Post reports that the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee rejected Gov. Martin O'Malley's bill to repeal the death penalty, the latest turn in the state's long back-and-forth history on capital punishment. It's hardly the last. In fact, it's not even the last legislative push Maryland will see before spring.

Local blog 14th & You has been doing a pretty good job of keeping tabs on the conflict between nightclub The Space and ANC2F, as any quality neighborhood blog would do. But proceedings between the two took an interesting twist when, during the ANC's monthly meeting last week, the proprietors of the much-maligned hotspot at 9th and N Streets used a comment from 14th & You's post on the subject to solidify their club's case.

[Ed. Note: Those of you who live and die in our famed commentariat might have noticed that we've been absent our Monday comment roundup for the last two weeks. Don't worry -- we still love you, and your contributions have been splendid, as usual. That said, we're doing a little retooling -- Sunday afternoons will now be the home of the new streamlined What's That You Say? If there was ever a feature that we'd expect feedback in the comments on, well, this would be it -- so have at it.]

Good day, everyone. It's time for another sterling edition of What's That You Say? - where we take all the things you said last week and try to make some sense out of them.

It's that time again, a slightly later and shorter What's That You Say in honor of Columbus's shorter, later voyages. Or something.

Welcome to yet another edition of that fine Monday tradition, What's That You Say?

A veritable abundance of worthwhile comments this past week, and we've got them all - no time to waste in this week's version of the Say.

Maybe it's just us, but we're pretty excited that today's the first day of autumn. Think about it - we're losing baseball, but we gain lots of football. Wheat and fruity beers are hitting the bricks, but Oktoberfest brews are just hitting their grooves. And most of all, the weather's getting colder - which can only mean one thing: more time spent inside creating cannon fodder for the Say. Good times.

If there was one thing on everybody's mind last week, it was voting - specifically last Tuesday's primary elections. Who can blame you? There certainly was a lot to talk about. Whether it was the tales of the tape, the kinda sorta results, the revelation that there was some sort of error in the count, or the fallout from that realization - there was plenty to be chatting about in local politics this week.

Happy Monday everyone, and welcome to 2008's first post-Labor Day version of What's That You Say?. Looks like you managed to somehow survive through a week without a comment roundup, but not to fear - we wouldn't dream of abandoning you for two weeks in a row. So let's get to it.

How's it hangin', everybody? Now that Obama's finally selected his running mate, we can all get back to talking about important things, like shaved pandas and where we're going to get the capital needed to open up new locations of Junkpunchers. Wait, what? You say that there's now some sort of convention that's going on in Denver? And that there's another one right after that in Minneapolis/St. Paul? Oh.

Welcome back to another edition of What's That You Say?, where the comments we feature are almost as good as the lunch at Eastern Market on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

It's Monday, so you know what that means - another hearty helping of the witty best and hilarious worst of your contributions to our little nook of the interwebs. So pull yourself away from refreshing those Olympic results for one second and...dive in.

Howdy everyone, and welcome to another hootin', hollerin' edition of What's That You Say?

Welcome back to your usual post-weekend comment-o-rama. It's the Monday morning fix that (probably) won't get you fired from the office. With that said, let's do it to it, good buddies.

It's quite warm out there, eh commentarians? We can only handle so much humidity. Instead, we parked ourselves in front of the A/C, blasted it up to maximum cool, and threw together your comment roundup. Feel free to send all thanks in the form of popsicles and inflatable swimming pool toys.

A big aloha to all the esteemed members of the commentariat joining us for another edition of What's That You Say?.

Hey there commentariat, and welcome to a special four-day version of the Say. Hopefully your government mandated three-day weekend was filled with more heartwarming moments under umbrellas and fewer power outages. Regardless of how your Independence Day weekend was spent, the week leading up to it was certainly a busy one in comment-ville.
