Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I have free Spotify accounts to give out. Email me at my profile addy if you want one. I'm really enjoying the service, though I still use Pandora to expose me to music that I wouldn't otherwise be aware of.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ooops. Apocalypse, right?

SFistas! I will be in your city from Sept 8 to 12! Then I will be taking a side-trip to Seattle for a couple days, then I will be returning to SF on the 15th before leaving on the 17th! I would like to meet-up with as many of you as possible. We can discuss our options in the F2F thread.

I also (of course) have pictures of my trip so far, starting here, and continuing here.

What is even happening?

Hey Buffistas, a friend of a friend's daughter has gone missing in Germany -- last seen in Nordrhein-Westfalen area in Germany.

If you're on Facebook, you can see the details here: [link]

Will you share it on Facebook, please?

Also, for those of you on Twitter, I tweeted it here: [link]

I'm asking you to please retweet my message. There are a lot of us and we know people from all over, so I'm hoping we can boost the signal. Thanks!

edit...

I just came back to post that the kids have been found and saw Vortex beat me to the punch. Thanks V. Thanks, Buffistas.

Chicagoland Buffistas are strongly encouraged to check out Farmhouse, a new restaurant that I have a familial interest in. It's at 228 West Chicago, and I understand the drinks are great!

Dear Buffistas,

Would you kindly go and sign my Terriers DVD petition? I'm working on a post for my little site to explain it all, but basically, I'll need some decent numbers to show potential distributors that there is (if there is) a market for them.

Please? Help me out. And if you could post it to your various and sundry blogs as a favor, that would be awesome. Thanks a ton.
