Back to your regularly scheduled discussion of 32 bit hexadecimal color anagrams in a minute...<BR/><BR/>What ever happened to David Satterthwaite (as I butcher the spelling of his name)? Did his hippy father really cook popcorn for us in the fire every afternoon in an old-school cast iron basket?<BR/><BR/>And you can't go wrong with #ABBA00Sam Kolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251872262016255612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-55973886783980338002008-09-10T10:22:00.000-04:002008-09-10T10:22:00.000-04:00Mr Kolb -- 2 words: Titus Sparrow.

Good times tunneling around in my front yard under the snow, building caves in the snowbanks, and watching out for the next plow to come by and bury us alive.Perry Gerakineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678288669870925379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-34896548398949563082008-09-10T00:21:00.000-04:002008-09-10T00:21:00.000-04:00That Sam Potts!

Though we moved from the South End when my mother was mugged one time too many, I will never forget the blizzard of '78, spent sledding and building real snow tunnels (to put even the most luminous molemanic burrows to shame), and how the schools had to introduce a special reading program to make up for the weeks lost to frosty goodness.Sam Kolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251872262016255612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-66244527718923970742008-09-09T19:42:00.000-04:002008-09-09T19:42:00.000-04:00please reassure mr. potts:i accept that change is ...please reassure mr. potts:<BR/><BR/>i accept that change is inevitable.<BR/><BR/>and moreover: it would be wrong to sacrifice mr. potts' aesthetic to a futile attempt to shelter your readers from this sometimes painful truth.<BR/><BR/>so: as the one commentator that closed my eyes to this lovely brown in atavistic deference to the obsolete blue, i'd like to formally say that i'm embracing this change.
