Feodosia?!?!

When the hell did we send Marines into Feodosia?

I didn’t even know there was a Feodosia.  And I’m trivia boy, remember.

Oh.  Wow.  Well, then.

We gots Marines in places that most Americans don’t even know are places.  Wow.

I just heard a “conservative” on the radio saying that adapting the way we live to deal with global warming will be inherently harmful to everyone’s economic welfare.

Guess he really doesn’t believe in the power of the free market, then.  Apparently he doesn’t think that massive public awareness of the need for, say, renewable energy supplies would create a profitable global demand for clean energy.

These guys couldn’t really believe in the free market one bit, or they wouldn’t be so freaked out.

Seems worth mentioning.

Some of you are apparently having a few issues with the site’s new appearance.

Ooops.

So Colin has kindly implemented a Template Chooser. If you scroll down, you’ll find a widget on the right that allows you to choose which version of this page you want to see.

We’re on it. I’m starting to build the Trebekistan-related website, which (if luck holds) will include all sorts of pretty cool stuff. And I’ll of course try to make the two templates look alike but distinct, and friendly to all users.

So if your browser is displaying this page as a strange jumble — and it’s not just my normal writing style — scroll down, hang in, and know that I thank you for your time here.

PS — traffic has been down since I all but abandoned the site for a few months when the book was at its hairiest. If you enjoy any of the stuff here, please feel free to forward to friends/neighbors/rogue nuclear states/hot teenage lovers of your choosing.

Just sharing with the class.  Here’s another snippet of the index:

Cleveland sports teams, futility of, 9, 173-74, 190-92, 228

Clue Crew, living in van and fighting crime, 16

Coconuts, lovely bunch of, 12, 17, 327

Codpiece, armored, 6

If you’d like to know what an armored codpiece may have to do with playing Jeopardy!, then you really might have fun reading this thing when it comes out.

It also makes a great back-to-school gift.  And a holiday gift.  And the pages are vitamin-enriched.
