I'm totally getting the band back together, dudes. I've been held back by a senseless feeling that my first post after so long would have to be extra awesome, but that's silly. I was about to say "that's retarded" but you know what? That's not actually cool. I realized this because I am very careful not to swear in front of my children (they are still under the misapprehension that "stupid" is "the 'S'-word.") So do I want them to grow up saying lame shit is gay and retarded? No, I do not. I've already had enough malign influence in apparently being responsible for Zoe saying "what to the evs." I asked her where she learned a thing like that and she was all "I learned it from you, mom!" I thought, damn, that's totes gay ludicrous. Seriously, who talks like that? Me, apparently, alas. And then I found five dollars.

Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you hereby agree to the following as well: by leaving a comment you grant to the proprietors the right to release ALL your comments to this blog under this Creative Commons license (attribution 2.5). This license allows copying, derivative works, and commercial use.
Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you are also granting to this blog's proprietors the right to so release any and all comments you may make to any OTHER blog at any time. This is retroactive. By publishing ANY comment to this blog, you thereby grant to the proprietors of this blog the right to release any of your comments (made to any blog, at any time, past, present or future) under the terms of the above CC license.

If you do NOT agree to these terms, for pete's sake do NOT leave a comment. It's that simple.
- Confused by our comment policy?We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
Yay!! This is such excellent news. I was just thinking about how it was really too bad this blog went on hiatus, given that it has been one of my favorites.

Hey! Our kids are under that same misapprehension that the S-word is "stupid" as well. I must admit that I've been caught using this S-word a time or two.

That's so weird. I check here one every week or two, but it had been so long… I just did a Google search, sorted by date, to see if you all had just left the internet never to return, and lo and behold, signs of life!

YAY!

"saying lame shit is gay and retarded?"
speaking as a lame person, i take offense at your use of "lame" as a term of general derogation and pejoration.

You know, I say "lame" and then I worry about it. Can you say that someone who doesn't see something is blind to it? I think so. But maybe not.
I once said in a court hearing that the opposition's tactics were like Chinese water torture. The judge stopped the hearing and chewed me out for what felt like an hour. I don't say that anymore.
