Spam supplement
I’ve had plenty of weird spam in my e-mail, but I just found two of these. (All typos in original) Hey, I hate to be the one but when people continueto talk about your weight issue, we’ll it just disgustsme. Whether you know it by now, people are always chattering about one another at work …
Mundanity becomes terror
Will Bunch, writing about the appearance of the military’s death officers: A doorbell isn?t supposed to be an object of terror. It?s supposed to be mostly a herald of good tidings, when you[r] son?s best friend shows up with a sled, or when the pizza arrives 45 seconds before the kickoff. Read it and weep. …
Just stop
Bah. When the primary season officially opens in 2008 I’ll start getting interested in presidential politics. I feel like boycotting all the horse-race crap in the papers until the New Year comes around. On the other hand, the media loves the horse-race stuff.

Here’s a link to Ryan’s place again. He’s already had a few comments from East Coasters who’ve seen it, even though …
Jeebus
