Lovely story! And it reminds me that I should get a little somethin'-somethin' for our own postal person...

I love the instant response of the onlooker at the left: whips out the cell phone to take a picture.

Wow. Can you actually see anything through those? And why am I suddenly humming 'My Cherie Amour'? :-D

(Actually, I can sort of make out an eye in the right-hand lens...)

Had to clear my work computer of a viral infestation a couple of weeks ago. It was like a little convention of malware types. Nice. Hope you get things back to normal soon.

Nothing gets between Grandpa and his Orville Redenbacher's.

Kick 'em again, Grandma! Awesome.

Re: Oh Crap: Your Thesis Customization isn’t Future Proof

Heh. Some us have only 10 Thesis installs to update. ;-) Oh, well. It's good to be reminded of what life outside of Thesis is like all the time.

Thanks very much for providing a guide to the nav changes. Looks like a project for the weekend.

I hope Colicchio stopped by your table to ask how the meal was. If not, I'll have a talk with him. :-p

Expected Fox News headline: Bill goes to North Korea to pick up two chicks

Inspired, Constant Comment. Totally stealing this.

Another of my favorites, although I forget which thread it was exactly: "dum bith"

At least Foxx isn't from *South* Carolina. What with the likes of Graham, DeMint, and Sanford representin' the Palmetto State, I've taken to telling people I'm originally from the planet Mongu rather than 'fessing up to hailing from SC.

Wow. Heartless? Merely stupid? Or some from Column A, some from Column B?

I would rather see a film version of Diablo or Starcraft. Or (in the non-Blizzard category), Marathon.

And anyone can follow you on Twitter, regardless of whether or not you follow them back.

Unless you block them, of course.

Re: Where's Sanford?

Every so often I think about moving back to South Carolina; Charleston, maybe. Then I read stories like this, and the thought goes away.

Re: On Safe Spaces and High-Hoping Fools

No one resides so firmly in any perceived "inner circle" that they are above criticism at this blog -- and longtime Shakers who are active in the comments threads will almost certainly attest that there is not a single contributor to this blog who I have not had to ask to address a violation of the safe space (and/or has done so before I needed to, after it was pointed out by commenters).

I can personally attest to that. :-)

What's an idle fella with a pitchfork to do when there's no witch-killin' mobs to populate anymore?

He becomes a coach for Lance Armstrong.
