f/k/a archives . . . real opinions & real haiku

            late at night

      the cold white edges

             of the bed

 

 

         the cold night

 comes out of the stones

          all morning   

 

     in the dark

the trap snaps shut

     silent dawn

Other than pointing to my recent post on employed weblawggers who beg, I shall

offer no comment on today’s posting by the otherwise bon vivant Steve Bainbridge:

Pledge Break

 

The computer in my home office is dying a lingering death and I’m

going to have to order a replacement this week. So if you’ve been

thinking about hitting the tip jar in the left sidebar, now would be a

very opportune moment to do so. And I thank you.

  Well, okay, maybe three questions: (1) will we at least get some special

programming, like they do during PBS pledge week? (2) what the heck will Steve do when

a good old California earthquake or forest fire strikes his home? and (3) to restore my faith in

macho neo-cons and libertarians, could someone please convince me that Prof. B is doing this

tongue-in-cheek as a caricature of the early alms-seeking denizens of weblog world?

 

 

begging actors–
even the horse’s ass
gets a blessing

 

begging at my gate
the geese lose
weight

like big ones>.  Our posting do ads subtract? big ones sure do! got the listing.  Click here
