I Oddly Specific; thanks for bringing it to my attention.
This one reminds me of a hilarious comment Brian made over on Facebook today. In case you missed it:
"On my personal FB page, I promised a pony to anyone who signed up as a "fan" of WHTTWOT, which David did (thanks!). I am a man of my word; his pony is in the mail. I think my butcher did a lovely job, David will have enough meat to feed him and his family through the winter."
I think you have to boycott him now.
DAMMIT, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A "HEART" BETWEEN "I" AND "Oddly."
I un-heart not being able to edit comments.
Oooh snap. Fies did that? Briancott!
Brian can apparently send you a heart, if necessary. But I wouldn't request one.
Twice-told story, but this sort of thing reminds me of the time I was standing in the shower with a bottle of shampoo and noticed that it said, "This product has not been tested on animals."
For a moment, I thought it was a disclaimer warning you that they didn't know what it might do to you.
This was, of course, some years ago ...
(My word to verify is "destri" -- like getting jackpot-jackpot-lemon.)
Sherwood and Ronnie, your ponies are on the way, too. Enjoy.
Sherwood, it does gnaw at me that I didn't do anything with Talking Ponies, and that it never got traction with racs, either. Thanks the same.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, and we did get some cool stuff -- most notably your contribution! That alone was worth whatever little effort went into setting the site up, and a whole lot more.
I don't feel at all bad about it, and, besides, it's always there if we need it.
You've mirrored the pet gallery onto it too, haven't you? How would you feel about it becoming the official home of the gallery?
Yep, and I'd feel fine about it. I'm afraid it's mostly a(n) historical artifact now, though, isn't it? Last time I checked in on racs, which was a long time ago, it didn't seem like much of the old gang was left there.
And there's this grim note -- I'd have to completely redo my entry. Neither Destry nor Nellie Bly are still on the green side of the turf.
There would be lots of similar grim notes, I'm afraid. ronnie and I tossed around the idea of constructing a virtual pet cemetery to go along with racs a while back, but I think both of us thought better of it.
(JACKPOT! - my word verification for this one is "inter"!)
