  1. To host: Where is Thumbkin?? I tried this joke when Paul F. Tompkins was a guest and it didn't get read, but I still think it's a funny question. It's like, damn, remember being a kid. Those were the days. Simpler times. Some days I wish I could go back there, you know? Fewer responsibilities, living day by day, without the weight of the world dragging me down. Just skipping stones in the crick and playing cobs and robbers with the neighborhood kids until well past sundown. No pressure to Do The Big Project at work or make some grandkids for the parents, who are being outwardly patient but you can tell internally that they're not happy that their eldest son is doing so poorly out there, romantically. God, I just want to eat ants on a log again, and not have to look at the widening rust spots forming on the underside of my car, making some kind of metaphor about the state of my life in general. Nothing has that magic shine anymore. The nights are getting longer and the days are getting colder. They're always getting colder. Anyway, excited to hear what you think about Thumbkinm.

  2. Because of the apparent increase in listenership and the continuing growth of the forum community, I think we should address the serious issue of like inflation.

    I remember when several likes would make me feel good for a couple days. Now you need whole baskets of likes and you're like waiting in the bread line to buy bread, but instead of bread it's happiness.

    I'm not even that much of a veteran. I bet you old RSS-era forum guys 'member when a single like would buy you like a month of emotional fulfillment. Those were simpler times

    I've stumbled upon an easy solution, and that is to be wildly inconsistent and occasionally make real stinker posts that nobody enjoys. Doing that bad in this new Like economy really grounds you and makes you appreciate each and every Like you get thereafter. Current mood: blessed -_-

  3. Two out of three of Cameron's bar fight songs (Meat Loaf and Celine Dion) were penned by the inimitable Jim Steinman! Following in that mold, we may also include Total Eclipse of the Heart and

    from the non-classic Streets of Fire, which is unironically one of my favorite songs of all time.
