I give up, I got nothing for you today.  Well, that&#8217;s not exactly true.  I&#8217;ve got a rant about diapers, but I think it follows a little too closely on my rant about BBQ chips and my rant about punctuation spacing, and maybe I need to take a break from the rants.  And I could tell you about some of the really cool stuff coming up next week &#8211; but then what would I <s>brag<\/s> blog about next week?<\/p>\n<p>So instead, let&#8217;s play another comment game.  Even if you read only occassionally, you all know a LOT about me, but I can&#8217;t always say the same.  This game is all about you, and getting to know you better.  (I can&#8217;t remember where I saw this one &#8211; if I subconsciously stole it from you, please let me know and I&#8217;ll be sure to give you credit!)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a cocktail party, and you all have to make small talk.  Pay attention, cuz if you play there&#8217;s TWO parts to each comment.  Each person who comments will answer the question in the comment directly above theirs, and then pose a question of their own for the next person.  Got it?  Each comment has the answer to the previous question, and the question for the next person. <\/p>\n<p>The questions can be on whatever topic you like, and you can take as long or as little to answer as you like.  The kind of questions I imagined should be about personal preferences, attitudes and opinions,  along the lines of the ones you see in those e-mail memes:  what&#8217;s the last book you read?  What&#8217;s your favourite movie?  What&#8217;s under your bed?  Vanilla or chocolate?  What&#8217;s the best vacation you ever took?  What are your pets&#8217; names and why?  (Yes, I know, these are lame questions.  But I trust that <em>you<\/em> can do oh so much better.)<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so my question for the first commenter is:  What&#8217;s your favourite breakfast cereal?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been staring at this empty interface for long enough.
