Attempting Desperately To Escape, He Perished.
Oh, I like this one. I like this one a lot.

I think that's all I have to say. Save, of course, for a digressive post-script. Stand by for that.
p.s. I'm thinking I need to update this here blog software. Blogger is cool and everything, but it's got a couple of problems with it. On the + side of the equation, there is the convenience, the simplicity, the overall Google-ness of it all. On the - side of the equation there is my utter inability to create any kind of "previous / next" post links on the site, without hand-editing every page Blogger makes (which ain't gonna happen, people, let's be reasonable here).
So, contemplating solutions.

I actually saw this yesterday and almost sent you the link.
I loved Alan Moore's:
"machine. Unexpectedly, I'd invented a time"
Yeah, those were awesome.
Now, c'mon darklord - I know you made up some of your own. Share 'em with us!
"Wife vs WoW. Who will win?"
You mean, besides the title of this post? ;)
Ultimately, I fell until I stopped.
