It's great you are being noticed by these writers and that they muse on your musings.

I know! It's pretty exciting, and it gives me a lot more motivation to write as well as stuff to write about.

I love the comments on McIntyre's blog. It's just so refreshing for comments to be semi intelligent.

An editor at Merriam-Webster (the "octopodes lady", according to her profile) retweeted my tweet about my column and added "Well said."

Nice going Jonathon. Stories being presented as real events smell bad too.

I remember her. The cute one with the hands that Scott didn't like, and that I did like.

I just watched her again. I still like the hands.

You can’t come to a better understanding of the truth by combining apocryphal anecdotes with a little misguided grammatical analysis.

Amen.

Also, what is a namesnake?

100% of all voters (so far) agree with me!

Not any more, hotshot.

I always felt that the person you were named after was your namesake because it was for his sake you were named.

I'm part of the losing team.

edit: Apparently Annie and I are on a lot of teams together these days.

I cast my vote, so now the poll is running neck and neck, with the correct answer getting just as many votes as the incorrect one.
