For those of you considering attending DebacleCon 2007:
I've found a hotel in downtown Cleveland that is, if reserved far enough in advance, only $60.00 a night per room.
More info in the F2F thread.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Dole Recalls Salad Mix in E. Coli Scare
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A package of Dole salad mix that tested positive for E. coli has triggered a recall in at least nine states, prompting new produce fears almost exactly a year after a nationwide spinach scare.
The tainted bag of Dole's Hearts Delight salad mix was sold at a store in Canada, officials said. Neither Canadian health officials nor Dole Food Co. have received reports of anyone getting sick from the product.
The voluntary recall, issued Monday, affects all packages of Hearts Delight sold in the United States and Canada with a "best if used by" date of September 19, 2007, and a production code of "A24924A" or "A24924B," the company said.
The recall affects packages sold in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces in Canada and in Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee starting around Sept. 8, said Marty Ordman, a Dole spokesman.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Don't know quite who this person is, but perhaps some of you might be interested in attending a Buffy Singalong.
God knows, I'd be up for it were I anywhere nearby!

Uh, because I'm an idiot who has been high on DayQuil, shriftweb.org is currently down. Working on fixing that right now.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
If you missed the latest installment of The Eclectic Word, featuring my interview with David A. Griffith, author of A Good War is Hard to Find, and Wayne Koestenbaum, author of Hotel Theory, go listen to it now. And buy their books. Seriously.
