If I remember from Cryptonomicon (lacked the Latin to do this properly), you're saying that the new regime will be in place for centuries? Or am I committing that old error about your post titles?
Do we get superhero costumes with this gig?
Oh, I see -- you paid Ogged off so that you could blog here unchallenged.
w-lfs-n, I always thought that you were a grammar-bitch in furtherance of the assertion of your intellectual superiority. If you start going in and quietly changing comments so that they are grammatically correct, merely because you can't stand error, I will think you are a fascist, but also maybe have newfound respect for your little-bitchsmanship.
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'. I'm just saying, is all.
Truly, the little bitches are running the asylum.
So are you going to blog at The Weblog, too, maximalizing the w-lfs-nianism of the blogosphere?
Do you think Kieran's wife reads unfogged? Kieran does on occasion, maybe he can say.
I don't understand what 13 is ostensibly a sequitur to, anyway.
I just assumed ben was going to say something bad about the person in question if it were confirmed that she doesn't read the blog.
That or he's trying to hit on her.
I like this new plan of w-lfs-n's; efficient.
Something to do with maximalising soething?
(typoes intentionally left; if gone then w-lfs-n edite)
I don't know, this reminds me a lot of when Andrew Johnson replaced Lincoln, except that Ogged wasn't assassinated and Lincoln wasn't replaced by a committee of five. But the point is, Johnson's term ended badly.
Or maybe it's like the troika of Brezhnev, Kosygin, and Podgorny, except that it has fewer male members by one, and more female members by three. And we all know how that ended up!
Or perhaps it's like Abba, with an extra girl. (The extra girl would represent Brian Jones, the extra guy in the Rolling Stones, who was found drowned in a swimming pool and replaced by a succession of lackeys.)
I hate to be negative, but you can see that there are a lot of negative signs and I felt that it was my duty to share.
Just don't pass a Tenure of Blogroll Act and everything will be fine.
Weiner: she's giving a talk at Stanford.
Now, instead of posting comments to correct grammar, I'll just go in and edit comments without warning
Your going to be bisy.

Finally, an invisible hand that actually moves things towards the ideal.
you do recognize that, in reserving the right to correct grammar, you follow in the footsteps of a certain litigious blogger who-shall-not-be-named.
Ah, but said blogger made it clear that he was only deigning to do so.
preventable upon payment of deigngeld
his blog did, for a few weeks, make quite a draw, though it was akin to a group gathering at an appauling wreck.
I like Appalling Rex, King of the Blogs. Catchy title. It's probably trademarked. Pretend I didn't say it.
Bummer. I think that the traditional bribe around here involves nekkid pictures of onesself, but I don't think that'd have much value as currency (or what fruity Mexicans would call currants, si?)
I've been impersonated! It was my evil twin brother. Or the aliens. Probably the same aliens who replaced my brain with oatmeal last night while I slept. The ones who stole that important envelope that really really should have gone into the mail today, if only I could find it. I blame INS.
[waiting for you to hand me the sealed envelope, so I can open it and announce who it was]
no, MHS, you cannot announce it.
His name cannot be said. He is likely here, with us, in this dark hour.
Look here: I've found a notebook from the past, written by one Daniel Guap!
Oh. Right. H-m.
You're not talking about that guy from the NSA, are you?
Daniel Guap speaks to me through the notebook!
He was a swell fellow, for his time.
Daniel Guap has made me do awful things. Oh no!
The N doesn't stand for anything, as with Truman.
Did he use a period? It's uncertain.
I'm glad you found your N. You didn't happen to see a letter with my return address on it near your N, did you?
Who is Daniel N Guap?
he wrote this swell notebook, through which he talks to me. I tell him my secrets.
No, Daniel, I mustn't!
Only conservatives are teh sm@rt! Liberals think with ancient serpent minds, which makes them emotional.
I'm so angry and perturbed! Now unleash my serpent monster from teh ch@mb3r!
I .... must release ... serpent monster
four dots? some delusional conservative blogger must have eaten my brain or something.
time to admit this joke is lame.
Wait until it molts. Until it's moltin'.
Now it's time that I destroy you text!
Text, stop making me laugh so hard.
he's got my wand. My wand's no match for the serpent monster. Seeing as I can't get my hand on it.
Game? It sounded *just* like the NSA guy.
Hang on, I've got my field guide opened to "How to Tell A Serpent Monster From A One Eyed Trouser Snake"
I'd like to help, except this Daniel fellow won't lay off my wand.
it's gotten late.
Till next time, when I will perform teh exciting conclusion to Who Isn't In On This Joke Yet?
w-lfs-n obviously just has a giant crush on his co-blogger. Or he's trying to assert his little bitch dominance over Kotsko. Or both.

Yeah, it's a shame he and I live on opposite coasts. I'm very accomodating.
I heard you're more in the habit of demanding accomodation.
Saying that I heard something does not exclude the possibility that other sensations were involved.
Your public speaking has improved considerably.
Compliments will get you only so far. I know what you did with the debate team.
By grace of -gg-d
I just noticed that the anagram of "Ogged" is "e.g., God." Is that a mere fortuity?
