  8. Unrelated comment here, but folks should go check out the fabulously fun query contest going on over at super-agent Nathan Bransford's blog (btw, I think you're a super-agent too, Janet). It's going to be a fun one!

  9. I think one would have to have a working knowledge of "The Odyssey," as opposed to Twitter, but agreed- morning funny. :)

  10. That reminded me of Pride and Prejudice, Facebook style, which makes me fall out of my chair laughing. (The Facebook Hamlet is pretty good too.)

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
