"You probably have to wash the soap after you use it."

Whomonculus reminded me that there are a few things I need to attend to as I begin the LONG, SLOW process of shutting down One Child Left Behind. One of these is a final round of READER APPRECIATIONS.

I have long lamented the fact that in 2+ years of web-logging, I have yet to receive one genuine piece of snark. And as all of us battle-hardened bloggers know, if anonymous strangers are not wishing herpetic boils upon the heads of your unborn grandchildren then you really need to question whether or not you're getting the full value out of the internet.

But pretending is fun.

So please cast upon me your foulest seed, that thou shalt live in yonder sidebar from here to March 31.

I know you won't disappoint me. I recently discovered an awful truth: the only reason I get DOZENS of readers per day is because the comments here have ALWAYS been awesomier than the actual posts.

(oh, and speaking of awesomage, Heather is giving out weblog awards. please go over there and send in your votes. i'm not eligible, because I AM CLOSING DOWN THIS BLOG, SO DON'T EVEN THINK OF RECOMMENDING ME, RIM JOB.)
