It's not like your popcorn will catch fire or anything, you know...... ;)

I was strangely fortunate to be on that FR thread the night that Buckhead posted his little note saying why the letter looked like it was forged on a word processor. It was a part of history. Howlin picked it up, but unlike me who was just thinking about what he said, she did something.
Later that night it broke on Powerline, went to the rest of the blogs, and the Pajamas warrior was born.
