The Week In Review.

  • Of course, Harper's has been sending this out for a while, but the intratextual hyperlinking now makes for 38 minutes of extra fun. Amount of extra fun may vary.
  • [this is good]
  • I [heart] Harper's. It and The Week are my favorite magazines, and the only two subscriptions I have anymore. I am excited to find them in my mailbox every time.
  • Grrrr! Damn Arnold! Damn him!!! Er, I mean, I didn't know about Harper's week in review. Thanks for the link!
  • Serial Horse Rapist?!?!
  • I saw that too. Someone ought to call Officer Barbrady, he has some experience in cases like this.
  • Oddly enough, the Week in Review e-mail news letter was how I originally found out about Metafilter, which used to be listed as one of the Review's sources. And of course, MetaFilter is how I found out about MonkeyFilter. Which of course is how some of you found out about the Week in Review. Which is how some of us found out about Horse Rapists. Beautiful isn't it?
  • Catching The Horse-Rapist is easy: (wait... (wait for it... (insert punchline here....)
  • It was revealed that Neil Bush, the president's brother, has admitted to enjoying the sexual favors of strange women who simply knocked on his door while he was visiting Thailand; Bush said he didn't know whether the women were prostitutes but noted that they did not ask for money. Did anyone else notice that the link for "strange women" was titled "whores"?
  • Well, somebody's got to quote this: Prince Andrew loves to play jokes on the servants, especially by hiding a puppet called Monkey in a different place every day.
  • Well, that settles it. I'm moving to 20 years ago by Blaise Bailey Finnegan
  • o_O, as the Finnish say. Let's try that again.
  • I also like confusing the servants. It's funny to watch them scrabbling about between the furniture and the curtains and the fireplaces, looking for the ripe cat turd which I artfully hide in a different place every dadbanged day. I like to think this sharing of innocent fun brings us together, but in my heart I know I am made for higher things.
  • Buggers went and moved it. (the Review, not the monkey or the cat turd.) Here's where it wound up.
  • Ah, Nickdanger, there you are. Or should I say, there you were...
  • My first SUCCESFUL post. There's some nonsense somewhere back there about people being abducted by fairies, but no one cared. still hurts.
