In the interest of playing more games on the patio side of Hatrack (as opposed to the sandbox), I propose the following game.

-Suggested titles for pundit columns-

The theme is satirical evocation and the object of play is fast and loose with current buzzwords.

2 wit -

"Kerfuffles, Curmudgeons, and the Colonoscopic Worldview: Why are baby-boomers tripping over themselves this week?"

I'm far too sleep-deprived to say what, exactly, but something about "Uncle Orson Reviews Everything" is very fitting for a 1000th post.

Edit: Wait... maybe it wasn't the 1000th. It said 1000 when I clicked the thread open, and I didn't think it changed when others were added. Or maybe it was. Is there some kind of Sleep God I can pray to? I am willing to perform humiliating dances.

*yawn-yawp*

not to worry, Jiminy. You'll wake to find that someone has thought of something more cleverer.

I don't actually know what you just said. But I didn't wake to find anything special, really. Just that it wasn't quite so damned hot as it has been recently.

The Heat is On or Off? You make the call.

In tonight's episode: Jiminy relaxes in the shade while Eyetell's mercury rises. Meanwhile, Skillery investigates the little-understood effects of temperature variations on gel bras.

We were talking about boob jobs around the water cooler the other day, and the boss said: "you know what they say...more than a handful is a waste." My buddy piped up and said: "maybe instead of her getting a boob job, he should get a hand job."
