no, really, I'm not petty

I met a guy today who I used work with back in 1998. And the first thing that came to mind when he came over to (re)introduce himself was that I'd loaned him a book, and never got it back from him.

Snow Crash, in case you're wondering.

"why's it say DO NOT BEND? It *DO* bend!"

Received in the mail today: a Goats signed print. This was dispatched by US Mail on January 26. A related packaged shipped from the same location on January 22 arrived within a week. The print was in a large, stiff cardboard envelope stamped with a large, red "DO NOT BEND" in two places, but was distinctly S-shaped by the time it showed up on my desk. Thank you, the postal services, for this token of your surly and abusive service.

(the print was largely unharmed; nothing a bit of pressing under some heavy books won't fix.)

close, but no cigar

If you google for "hply sjot" right now, it suggests "holy shot" as the phrase you meant to search for. Aside from that, there are seven hits (again, as of right now), not all of which are mine or aggregation copies.
