thanks for a wonderful blog adoxograph. i pity the poor loser who agreed to do one after you.

And all the more for having to do so under the cloud of your pity. For shame, Mongo! I'll never forget what it was like to see remarks like that piling up thick and deep during the last two days of Lucy's blog, all the time knowing that that poor sucker everyone felt so sorry for was... me. Whoever just got the torch has a full enough plate without being forcibly reminded what a tough act adoxograph is to follow!

Whoever you are, pay no attention to that curmudgeon behind the curtain: I bet your blog will be great, and I for one am looking forward to it.

The blog is dead - long live the blog!


And thank you, adoxograph, for that poetic curtain speech. I don't care if it was rehearsed - it was perfect.

(Not to mention that you've made me realize that one of these days I'm just going to have to give catfish another chance after all.)

Not rehearsed so much as mulled over. You tend to start considering weird questions of philosophy when you spend your time explaining to people that you aren't just looking through space, you're also looking through time. That and trying to prove to yet another person that, yes, we really landed on the moon. :)

The blog may be over - and I know the next one will be interesting no matter what the blogger may think - but anyone who would like more information can PM me. And I'll try to get that cinnamon roll recipe in recipegullet this week.

And maybe, just maybe, a picture of me in a brand new Bill's Toasty shirt will appear tomorrow. Heh.

This was a terrific blog. And the Horseshoe looks like the absolute apotheosis of Delicious, Greasy, Really Bad-for-You food. Edinburgh isn't a college town? College students need to know about the Horseshoe.
