I'm playing a a game with myself. (No, not that kind of a game).

I'm approaching 200,000 points AND 500 posts, so I'm "blowing off"

excess posts over the ten to get the total up to match the points. Problem

is, people keep commenting on the "blow-offs" and it's screwing up my calculations.

So quit commenting, so I can figure this this thing out.

When you have one of those days when your feeling

particularly stupid for having said something with your foot

in your mouth, whip this out and read it and you'll think your a genius.
