"I always wondered about places like Fargo." All aboooarrrd! Reindeer Sox Express.— October 2, 2009 7:11 p.m.
The palindrome of Bolton would be notloB!
Forgot to ask, how much is that bike, Pike?— October 2, 2009 7:06 p.m.

"Both his title dialogue are correct. Bolton/notloB is, throw/throw isn't." Even more importantly, what did y'all think of Todd Solandz's Palindromes?— October 2, 2009 7:05 p.m.

Runner up: "no leaks, no rust. COMPLETE AND READY TO GO." VROOM VROOM. and it's mean insect green! I want it too! Would call it "The Praying Mantis." SD tools about town on her Praying Mantis! Yes, I think so!— October 2, 2009 7:03 p.m.
The Reindeer Sox Saga part ducks
"every morning i watch Rachel Ray talk to food" Yeah, if you lean in really close, Ray's food pals are saying that Ray gives them indigestion! (I mean this in the most bloggerish, opinionish "likely" sort of way, Reader admin! :)— October 2, 2009 6:59 p.m.

nan: masterful wielder of fun, Joycean nonsensical music: "to bumbled along to a sheer face" and the best sort of rib-tickling anthropomorphism: "however i know they'd love to be surrounded by lovely satin ribbons to show their importance" :)— October 2, 2009 6:56 p.m.
Dear Reader Website Powers That Be
jayallen wrote in exemplum: "While this happens on occasion if a comment is slanderous,libelous, or a load of inciteful hooey, you should know that sometimes the bloggers themselves are deleting comment threads they don't like, for whatever reason." Some recent censorship cases/examples and questions, in which the above does not apply: 1. jayallen and Web admin, I can understand how, for example, the threads on Critical Mass, in which the author and other bloggers were inciting clear and direct violence against/upon cyclists, were removed. But it took a long time for that to happen--over a month? The Penn and Teller comments on Fish's blog were removed within a couple of hours. No one involved in that conversation would have reported these innocuous comments, so why the uneven treatment? 2. Unbeknownst to me, another blogger suggested removal of Mindy/storyteller's comment on my 9/11 blog, simply because it was 'rude' to myself, and inappropriate for a memorial blog on 9/11. (I have never once suggested a posting removal, and likely never will). Instead, my retort to Mindy was removed, because it suggested that she made the close acquaintaince of car salesmen through ads on craigslist. I would not have made this kind of comment, except for the plain fact that storyteller has written two first person narrative blogs expressly about just that--sleeping in motels with married men met on craigslist hook-up ads. --So how is this libelous, when the other party has directly admitted to and described in great detail the behavior I mentioned? I also modified the comment with the word "likely." I can understand that Web admin cannot keep in mind at all moments what people have written about themselves or others, or research all blog comments for meaning, as well as standard markers of libelous content--but I still have the questions about uneven application of the standard. 3. There are people paid to blog daily on this site who submit misinformation about public figures, but modify statements/claims with "I'm not sure on all the details of this situation," and the misinformation stays, again and again. How does Reader admin determine what is opinion from what is journalistic reportage? Is "daily blog" a disclaimer of sorts, when paid staff write under this banner? With all due respect, I do not mean to stir up any trouble, and name no names--but truly would like these questions answered. Thanks for investigating Penn & Teller-Gate! :)— October 2, 2009 6:50 p.m.

jayallen punned on an acronym: "Overheard in San Diego: "We have MTS. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Empty Ass."" Alternatively: Auntie eM, I'm so Ticked the buS is late again! Good for M. Holman! He must be hopping the 923 over the bridge and through the woods from Coronado.— October 2, 2009 6:24 p.m.

Golden Stalwart aka Shameless "Us" Promotion
"I dunno if you noticed, but I loves me some italics!" I for one noticed, Pike :) I am just nearly shocked speechless (I said nearly) for the second or third time today, as gringo wrote elsewhere. What a bunch of disparate, unlikely folk to hang out online or anywhere--ya wouldn't believe it, would ya! We should have a TV show, like Cheers. I would want to play Kelsey Grammer's good doctor (yep, he's the dude responsible for ALL of the misspellings) or Lilith, or else Norm to PP's Cliff. Anyway, thank you Pike for posting our wonderful ad! Will be quite interesting to post the inquiries of any online takers?— October 2, 2009 5:56 p.m.
