QUOTE OF THE DAY - ELEVATOR MAN GETS HIS ELOQUENT ON

Blogson Johnny-Oh of Closet Extremist on what to do about the Virginia Tech shootings:

For your soul, pray for the families and the wounded.
For your heart, grieve for the lost.
For your emotions, hold your family close and let them know you Love them.
For your mind, think of ways that you could avoid being a victim in a similar situation.
For your peace, turn off the damn TV and do one of the above.

Well said.

A personal note to the author: Though you blog infrequently these days, I'm VERY glad you still post when you can. There was a damn good reason I pushed you to get your own blog, and it makes me proud to see that reason is still there.

IT'S A BOY!

Under a special dispensation from the Federal Department of Blogchildren, blogstumpson Contagion of Miasmatic Review has been allowed to produce virtual offspring again. Thus I present:

Bruce Wayne of Back to the Batcave

Let's slide down the pole & have a peek:

---

Traditional sucky first post - WOW! My eye's are still watering from the noxious fumes wafting off this abomination of a blog entry. Glad to see that Bruce is a traditionalist.

Confesses to enjoying romps with turtles - First day and he's already abusing wildlife. Yeah, he's Contagion's kid, all right.

Allow me to quote: "Wrigley Field is HUGE and there is no way it can sell out." - I guess Bruce learned himself a lesson about the wisdom of poking Murphy's Law in the eye with a stick.

On the other hand he already knows the ultimate secret of blogging - When you don't have anything good to post, post something good from someone else. In this case, song lyrics. Maybe there's hope for him yet.

The only thing I'll suggest to Bruce is that he should provide a link to where he found the lyrics so that people who are unfamiliar with the song can find out what it is. Remember, it's all about reader convenience. There's no such thing as a post with too much explanatory linkage. It's what hyperlinks are for.

Next lesson - blogging while "niquilled" = typos. Which just makes more fun for the rest of us. Drunk blogging is fun, too. Just ask your blogdad.

Lesson the third - music will get you through times of no car better than a car will get you through times of no music.

Seriously, though, might want to check out my used car buying tips.

You know you have a Trek addiction when... - you post a link to some weird Turkish Trek fan-film. Gotta love those miniskirts in part 1, though. Please note the absence of panties at 1:21.

Bruce thinks that graphic portrayals of torture and murder are inappropriate for highway billboards. Can't argue with that. Heck, the one billboard picture he shows even makes ME queasy. This is one time you'll actually hear me say "do it for the children".

Tosses out a quick "About Me" post. It's a good start. Now just need to put a link to that one in the sidebar somewhere.

Anyway, Bruce, you can pick up a Bad Example Family logo from this post, and you may, if you wish, blogroll the rest of the Bad Example Family using the handy blogrolling javascript, although neither is a requirement.

Membership in the Bad Example Clan is also an option, if you're so inclined to jump through the requisite hoops, but is not mandatory.

Meanwhile you can look forward - with either anticipation or dread - to regular visits and comments from me.

Welcome home.
