Keep on nattering. What the blogosphere really needs is a plethora of consistently thoughtful and funny natterers. And, God willing, someday you might be one of them. Perhaps. Or perhaps not.

You have a great sense of humor and a keen eye on this society. Your comments regarding Lake Woebegone reflect precisely how I feel about the show. Sometimes it can be clever but, like NPR as a whole, it plays to a certain unquestioning middle-brow acceptance of a religious and sentimental-for-something-that-never-was social order. And Garrison's breathing drives me nuts. Keep up the consistenly thoughtful and funny natterings. I’ve been reading your postings for a long time, Twisty.

Dude, how hard is this: you don't make fun of people who are being picked on, unless you are one of them. Otherwise, you are just part of the problem, and no, being "funny" or one of their "friends" doesn't make it better. And when someone calls you on your shit, it's not because they didn't get it - it's because <i>you were not funny</i>.

Lutfisk is brilliant food, much maligned by narrow minded people. No, the alien should shove his pie-hole shock-full of inferior lager, like Budweiser, and then tape not only his pie-hole but also his pee-hole. To my mind, the mere taste of that pish would be enough to make anyone repent. I don’t understand, why would the alien give the idiot a tasty treat?
