If I still had the Diner blog up, I would.  Although it would take a mighty long time to keyboard out now, given I am reduced to 1 finger typing.

In winter they can talk about steam rising from piles of poop and golden holes in the snow. I wonder if they will still be sleeping outside then.

I suspect the article author has strange sexual proclivities but I really don't want to know.

Holy cow I hadn't thought about TBP in years! I immediately dropped on in and WTF? Ads popping up everywhere, including one that took 3 minutes to figure out how to get past it to sign up for email spam, once I cleared that it was just side ads and top ads and popups and everything in the world that makes some internet sites total shyte. I just gave up and walked away, being tortured by advertising like that is as far from a website I'm going to visit as a dentist doing root canal without local anesthesia.
