See you all tomorrow.

- I've noted that the last time I wore a fedora the wind blew it off my head and under a bus, and I took that as a sign, re: me and fedoras. 22 hours ago
- I do feel sad fedoras are becoming shorthand for "socially-anxious woman-fearing dude" since it's a very fine type of hat. 22 hours ago
- I wonder if there's a correlation between dudes who use "misandry" in conversation and dudes wearing fedoras in their OKCupid profile pics. 22 hours ago

Uhm, you do realize that you’re Santa for your house, right? I mean, you bring the presents, you have the beard, the belly like a bowl full of jelly, etc.
@Scorpius I would note that has a lack of belly thanks to Coke Zero – and I imagine some workouts.
John- since your’e so good at your chores, will you please come help me with mine? If you’d be willing to use the MOLC for some of the people that I work with, I’d love you forever and ever (not that I wouldn’t anyways..).
Scorpius:
NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH NOT LISTENING NYAH NYAH
Make sure you sweep the flue, John. That’ll go a long way.
Do you and your family split chores, so everyone has their assigned tasks? Or do you all just do it as it needs done?
@secondgenfan, I suspect Mr. Scalzi could make a fortune renting out TMOLC, even if he wouldn’t personally be wielding it. Who doesn’t have a couple of people in their life who could benefit from a judicious application of the same?
Hi John,
Your posting that all of a sudden had me thinking: Athena is clever, intelligent, and I’m betting, given her parents, net saavy. It also seems likely from some of your posts that she has a snarky and ironic sense of humor. So what are the chances she is, could be, or could become one of your commenters, incognito?
As I know my router’s IP address? Slim.
