Addicted to PALINDROMES
I look for them everywhere, on billboards, in magazines, even license plates. When I can’t see them, I try and think of new ones. A Toyota. Step-pets. Pull-up. You get the picture.
Then I found “A Gassy Obese Boy’s Saga,” and I didn’t know whether to jump for joy or to bury my palindromic head in the sand. The story is, you guessed it, a 500+ word palindrome. (So is the title of the story, for the trivia minded).

Why Don’t You Know About This?
“Scambaiting” is the art of turning a scam back onto a scammer, who reaches you mostly through email. The following site, however, is ruthless and relentless when it comes to screwing over these scammers. They have been known to spend over 8 months baiting a single scammer, having them do the most outlandish things (carving a bust of the scambaiter’s head, handwriting an entire Harry Potter book, re-enacting entire sketches from Monty Python, and so forth).
Believe me, this is unreal, and so clear a statement of karma.
Once you get there, you can go to the “Letters Archive” to read some amazing transcripts of various scambait ordeals.
Wow!

Why Don’t You Own This?
“I was following the pack
all swallowed in their coats,
with scarves of red tied around their throats.
To keep their little heads
from falling in the snow.
And I turn around and there you go.
And Michael, you would fall,
and turn the white snow red
as strawberries in the summertime.”Fleet Foxes
“White Winter Hymnal”(from their forthcoming “Fleet Foxes” LP)
