I Have Been Bad. Very Bad.

[gerisullivan]

No shit, there I was...

...typing up a Smofcon update to post to the convention's email list. The number of topics had grown to five, and the page was starting to look awfully grey. So I took out the numbers and added subheads for easier scanning.

Then the subheads looked...boring. "Program"..."Hotel"..."Wiki"....

Hotel succumbed first. It of course became "Hotel Still Standing." I didn't sit through 20 years of Minicon meetings without learning how a hotel report starts.

Program didn't get all that interesting: "Program Participants Revealed." I should have used an exclamation point for a better tabloid effect, but I've been squandering them of late and trying to quell the population explosion that sort of behavior leads to.

Wiki. Hmmm. "Wikify Me" was a possibility, then "Got Wiki?" But that seemed a tad dated. Oh, dear. "I Can Has Wiki?" soon lead to its natural conclusion.

Gentle readers, please forgive me.

See? I knew I'd need to ask forgiveness. Given that, there wasn't any benefit to seeking permission, too. So I went ahead and posted it.

Hey, if they run me out of MCFI, or out of Smofdom, at least I'll already be at the airport. One passport and one credit card later, and I can be all sorts of places.

I do hope somebody plays with it.

Synchronicity strikes. Or something. Only earlier today I was thinking it might be fun to put together a series of FIAWOLcats.

Oh noes!

Ceiling SMOF will nay approve.

They can't afford to run you out. They'd have to deal with the invisible toad and it would be all over.

[gerisullivan.livejournal.com]

So, do I cheer for the invisible toad or curse it? That is the question.

Oh, all right. I'll cheer.

And someday I may just confess the other curious way in which I was Very Bad on Monday.

Don't stand under it.

Nah, we won't run you out... You're too useful.

I even did something useful with your message and updated more of the website. ;-)

[gerisullivan.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping folks still think that a week from now.

Grin for the website updates. Nice job sliding the hotel note in there.

I think we should use the French Army solution to this type of conundrum: first we give you a medal, and then we shoot you.
