When I was working at an Internet start-up in Manhattan in the late 90s, I was leaving for home after working late one evening when I heard a couple of people in the lawyer's office across from ours talking. One asked the other, "What is it that [company] does, anyway?" The other said, "I'll tell you this much: They aren't waiting for any Hale-Bopp."

For some reason this incident stuck with me.
There are some days when I wish we lived in a world where horrible truth and hilarious parody were easier to tell apart.
okay the link is on the post now but i SWEAR TO GOD that it was not there earlier.
at least, i think it wasn't.
it's possible that it was.
It's a miracle! Praise Hale-Bopp!
Ah, so it was Bearman who wrote that. I was a fan of his without even realizing it!
(But, is he really a bear?)
Well, first he was a man. And then he was a bear-man. Eventually he will be just a bear.
Sounds fun--does Rickey get Nikes for joining?
