    @MncinglyWhordL'mer: Well, that's a relief Mins. Thought the multiple personalities were back. Or the acid blackouts. I'd much rather that it was due to the actions of a mind-crashingly gorgeous gay pink-haired troll-doll on the West Coast. #pressreleaseoftheday

    @scroll_lock: Because, much to my enduring sorrow, after several months' inactivity due to work and travel commitments, I logged back on to my original DA account, only to find that my 'ability to comment was not enabled'. It can't have been anything I said - I hadn't said anything for some time. Most likely fell through the cracks when the system overhaul took place. I've tried to find out what went wrong via a couple of editors, but received no response. A kind-hearted fellow commenter bequeathed me a seldom-used identity, which I rebranded. But here I am, my comments stuck in grey-fonted limbo, with no friends or followers, far less a well-burnished star. I am bereft. But determined to work my way up the food chain once more. Provided real life doesn't intrude and render procrastination redundant. Towards that end, if you feel so inclined, I would welcome a re-hearting from you under my new identity. Always a pleasure, Scrolly. #pressreleaseoftheday

    Unfortunate concatenation of words from the hotel, but a little Googling shows the White Party has been around for years and supports a good cause.

    I'm pretty sure that's a gay party instead of a white party.

    They probably just didn't want to have people have to type "gay" or something else that could be embarrassing if they are trying to book from work and are worried their computers are monitored. #pressreleaseoftheday

    Once the editors saw that “Epic Fail” would be the title of the second episode of House in the current season, there was no turning back—the television show being the perfect popular counterpart to their paper: a favored vehicle of white male glorification, aspiration, and fantasy. #language
