….of the audiences’ patience.

I want to apologize for the interruptions we’ve been experiencing. Yesterday we allowed ourselves to be bullied by our hosting service into upgrading the back end of the site, even though it’s been working reasonably well for the past four years. But they insisted that the WordPress blogging software we’ve been using since 2006 is so obsolete that it’s become almost impossible for their technicians to find the appropriate punch cards made of papyrus.

And as most of yesterday and well into the evening was consumed with thoughts that “technical support” is actually a synonym for “assisted suicide,” we haven’t really had a chance to post anything fresh today. I guess we’re lucky that any of the archives survived at all, although what did seems to include a lot of collateral damage — broken links, missing photos, absent posts — so we ask for your forbearance while we try to sort this mess out.

In the meantime, I am reminded of the wisdom of Steve McQueen in his last film, Hunter, when he lamented that, “New things are no good.”

Did I tell you I hate you?

I hate you.

No one has the right to be funnier than me. Except maybe Doghouse Riley. And The Editors.

OK, you as well, but do you have to rub my nose in it????

For no apparent reason, and certainly not apropos of my mood/predilections, I read that as you asking for my furbearnace. Which generated some interesting images, I tell you what.

Which freaked me out for a moment, then made me feel kinda cuddly, then made me shake my head and reach for more coffee.

But actor, if I don’t aim for an impossibly high standard, how will I ever make anything of myself?

Scott,

By doing what every right wing blogger does: suckle at the welfare teat.

Whew! Glad to see that the blog was just experiencing technical problems and that the landlord hadn’t thrown you out.

Don’t know what was lost, but be aware, if not already, of the existence of the internet archive, which was kind enough to back you up.

Woo hoo! Thanks, Chris!
