var parentComments = $(".sitetable.nestedlisting > .thing > .parent");
var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * parentComments.length);
var selectedComment = $(parentComments[index]).parent();
var commentId = selectedComment.attr('id');
var username = selectedComment.find(".entry > .tagline > .author").text();
