For Auld Lang Sucked

One year ago today, I did a year-end retrospective of the goings on here at WWIT in 2005. That was a fun year here. When I started thinking of such things to write today . . . let’s face it, friends, 2006 has pretty much sucked around here.

What Do You Give the Girl Who Has WTF?

Earlier this week at chez Fairchild:
Jif: You haven’t told me what you want for Christmas…
Susie: Yea, if I were you, I’d hold off on spending the big bucks on ME. I mean, you might want to wait until I get a diagnosis before you go buying anything with a long shelf-life, if you know [...]
