Always nice to encounter someone who can write that many words in a row. I haven't done that many in a row for years now. Thanks.

Also, "Trees So Fake That they LOOK Fake", might work. Frankly, this is the ONLY place I have found, which makes fun of Real Life THINGS. No Karl Rove, celebrities, bad talk, or other dross. Just things which are funny. One place along the bus trip to work was a house which looked like a face (NO photos, of course!!). Whoever lived there had put looking-to-the-right pupils in the "eye" windows, using paper the size of the windows. I loved it, and still think about it. I could go there to see whether it is still there, but the trip sucks, and that was twenty years ago! [For those who want to know: San Pablo Avenue, between McDonald Avenue in Richmond, but before University in Berkeley.] Google says Everett and Jones Barbeque is at San Pablo and University. Maybe I will go there. The bus ride---I live forty miles north---will take about three hours each way. E&J is worth the trip! [Well, what it was long ago, is worth the modern trip!] Always remember the dicta "Funny is good" and "Keep on keepin' on". Oh, yeh: "Happy new year" and all that! Sincerely, Master David Greetings Idiot :(,

The photo here shows three new categories by itself:
1) Beards–This allows real beards, and fake beards, both as one category,
2) Belts Which Do Not Look Like the Usual Crap,
3) Products of Stupid Advertising Directors.
Also, “Trees So Fake That they LOOK Fake”, might work.

Around now and still not particularly busy but not much help either. Looks fucked to me. Is it a big problem? I mean, who uses IE8? As long as it's Lynx compatible I'd say you're fine.

While raising a Goshawk the old fashioned way might not entirely be up your alley, maybe some lesser creature is? Like a squirrel, or a brain-damaged crackwhore. No, wait, that's PCL's idea again.
