With mouse hovering over the link, I saw "ampersandy" and thought, "Hmmm, that's got to be an apostropher parody site." After clicking and having my hopes cruelly dashed, I got to thinking about what an apostropher parody site could possibly look like. The mind boggles.

i.e. your posts about the grad student, etc.
not sure it quite worked then either, but then i don't have a sense of humor.

Rereading the post, dunno if that holds up. I guess I don't have a sense of humor.
