   Hmm… If you were interested in sharing the lime-light, there’s a wordpress plugin for easily converting a comments into a new story. …or you could also set it up that anyone could register for an account, and write posts, and you could approve posts for the front page.

   ..That is, if that’s the sort of direction you were interested in taking this site in..

   I love playing with WordPress, so if you could use any assistance in setting stuff like that up, I’d be more than happy to help..

   Fun fact: a few years ago, the Washington Post dropped Mark Trail. They got so many phone calls, emails and bomb threats they instantly brought him back. Somewhere in the MD-VA area, there are a whole lot of Trailheads.
   Keep it up, Josh!

   Saint Chree- Just listened to your dramatic rendition of Curtis. It’s great! You are my new god. We bow at your altar.

    The scary part is that there may be more people reading Apt. 3-G through this blog than read it in newspapers…

    Why would you post that in such a bizarre file format? Why not jsut post an mp3 like a normal person? I really want to hear it, but I’m not going to. :(

    Dave- Leave my new god, Saint Chree, alone. He can use whatever format he so desires. Be careful that he does not smite you dead for your impiety.

    well, livejournal posts phoneposts as ogg. he doesnt have a choice in the matter.

    besides, virtually anything that plays mp3s plays oggs. or at least, the players that matter.

    I have to ask: What the hell is up with today’s Barney Google and Snuffy Smith?

    It doesn’t make much sense literally, given that, even though it’s not exactly the most common occurrence, a cursory glance of the archives shows Snuffy’s eyes open a number of times, particularly just this past Sunday. Then I thought it was possible Loweezy was talking about someone else, given my lack of knowledge of the strip (I had to grab their names off the King Features site), but no, they call each other “Maw” and “Paw” all the time, a mystery for another day.

    Which leaves the possibility that it’s metaphorical, which makes me believe the point is that Loweezy and Elviny here are having lesbian sex behind his back. Frankly, I don’t think these stereotypes characters would exactly approve of that.

    So I’m just confused.

    (I sure hope Josh does today’s Barney Google and Snuffy Smith!)

    Daijinryuu: unfortunately, having read snuffy smith (or ‘paw smiff,’ were he to write it out) entirely way too much growing up, this is just a lame stab at Paw’s laziness.
    The lesbian angle is just repulsive enough to work though.

    Anne Nonymous: Hooray! a devout follower! contact info is in my livejournal profile, if you want to work out all that woshipping business.

    As long as we’re meta-commenting: Is your T-shirt model available?

    It’s a piece of pro-Soviet propaganda. Paw’s eyes are not open to the need for international struggle to empower the working classes. Unlike, say, this simple Bolshevik potato.

    “This Bolshevik Potato,” by the way, was the original name of the solo album I recorded just after the Police broke up. Record-company big shots made me change it.

    Ah, Saint Chree- alas, I must worship from afar, but be content in the knowledge that you have at least one devoted accolyte. At least, for awhile; I’m a bit fickle. (I kind of liked Sting’s comments, too…..hmmmmm.)

    Ah, here I say in my post that I don’t usually make comments, and now I’m making a comment, in response to Tom T. Anyway, there are actually three different models in my merchandise ads. One of them is me, one is engaged to me, and one is a friend of ours who’s engaged to another friend of ours. So the short answer is: no, not available, no matter who you’re talking about. I’m assuming you’re talking about the future Mrs. Curmudgeon, though. She is in fact foxy. Neener neener.

    St. Chree, if I sent you $20 would you read it over the phone to me? I can’t download it.

    That Snuffy Smith is hilarious. When’s the last time a strip centered around a potato in the shape of one of the characters? I imagine it’s happened at some point, but it’s probably been a long time.

    Josh, you’re a lucky fellow. I hope you’ll keep us apprised of all of your wedding-planning details, just like Cathy and Irving. Will your pets be in the ceremony?

    Come on Josh,, you owe Tom T. a reply re: keeping us apprised of wedding-planning details, esp. since the future Mrs. C has gotten involved on the blog re: poems, etc
