I Have Been Bad. Very Bad.
Dec. 3rd, 2007 11:22 pmNo 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.
