The physical comedy of "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" steals focus a bit from what's actually a pretty motivating bit of reasoning.

Now and then I’m reminded that Warhammer is produced in the UK and that I should be imagining all their articles as being spoken with a British accent.

Indigo's a tough one. I'm kinda guessing here. Unfortunately, I don't recall exactly where in Italy this was taken, except that it was at a point in the trip when we were doing day trips to towns in Umbria.

Heard screeching tires and revving engines all day yesterday from a Formula Drift event near the conference hotel. I really hope there’s someone mid-Venn diagram who’s in Long Beach for both Formula Drift and the Association for Asian American Studies conference.
