It's gone all Aussie - you know, we call breakfast "brekky", TV "telly", biscuits "bikkies", etc-y. Or is this old news? Signed, Petie. Er, has anyone else noticed the list of links in Adam’s sidebar? It’s gone all Aussie - you know, we call breakfast “brekky”, TV “telly”, biscuits “bikkies”, etc-y. Or is this old news?

Signed, Petie.

I went to the audiolibrary to make that recording for you, only to find it in ashes, our only clue to the perpetrator a few white hairs and an odd methane smell hanging in the air. Our intelligence experts are still baffled, and suggest it may have been a Canadian black ops team. Pete, bad news.

But if we're still considering alternate names, "FanApaCon" kinda rolls off the tongue. I’m firmly in the “Felberpalooza” camp.

Jeez. First the silly cow laugh, now this. It's not easy being an editor with OCD. (Although that's actually a requirement for the job!) (throat clearing) MWAH-ha-ha! It’s vocal “cords.” Jeez.

Cool! Where can I get a copy? Susie, your heart is in the right place, but unfortunately, "moo ha ha" does bear an uncanny resemblance to "The Laughing Cow" joke that proliferated after the first BSE scare... As a suggestion, I'd modulate the "moo" with a palatal stop, and extend the "ha ha" a little (but not so much that folks think you have a stutter). Perhaps something like, "<b>MWUHAHAHAHAHA!</b>". Of course, they're your vocal chords and AHMUW keys, but it might be worth the effort. Now, what about, er, KomKon.Kom. Oh, wait, no, the initials are already taken...

What was that yellow thing you were sporting in the image with you and Adam? Some kind of stripper/figure skater fusion ensemble? I mean, feathers at the cuffs and hem? My my. I think I need to have a word with your mother during Felberpalooza. And Adam, my digital friend. Who could possibly be embarrassed by that awesome Star Fleet shirt? I mean, that's no cheap, $4.99 Halloween Captain Kirk in a box. That's a darn spiffy shirt. But Adam, oh Adam, what in the name of satan are those rubber boots all about? Words fail me. Ok, now that I've alienated not only our host, but his lovely and talented sister (as well as probably irritated their mother), I'll slink back to damp and dank hiding place.
