The exception that proves the rule

Getting pretty close to 2000 hits on the old counter. A nerd would probably put up some random posting in hopes of getting in to the "next blog" rotation and sweeping the hit count into the current millennium.

But I'm posting to make three very important points:
  1. If you don't "get" one of my headlines, you must always just conclude that my reference is brilliant and on point, and that you just don't get it because it's too esoteric, etc. You can even conclude that I'm just being too clever by half. But don't assume that I must have had too much cough syrup when I wrote the headline (or the whole entry, for that matter). Case in point: the headline of the previous entry.

  2. I wonder what is wrong with people who don't draw the blinds in their ground floor rooms at night. Do they not realize that I and whomever can see into their homes? Do they not grasp that I and whomever can see what they are doing in their homes? Do they not care? Would they be the zoo animals who still thought they were living in the jungle? Whatever the answers are, these people are different from me in some very fundamental way. Are you one of them? I was only kidding about the zoo thing. I'm sure you would not only realize your captivity, but organize some kind of zoo underground railroad. But, seriously--we can see you.

  3. I wonder why, in TV ads, AOL and a few other companies portray their own customers as idiots, losers, bedwetters . . . basically, feebs.
