Over on Asparagirl, I tussled a bit with some fellow who happened to share the name of one of my college buddies; with my superior logical intuition and deductive reasoning, I quickly matched up the coincidental recent e-mailing of said friend to the fact that my band page, which he might have sought out having heard from me, is gone. The uBlog is all that responds to "figureconcord.com".

Of course, my spider sense doesn't always tingle because it's correct.

I asked Jon if I might be debating him. He thought not. Out of curiosity, he asked about the topic. Iraq, I said. I'm for, the guy with your name is against. His answer:

I wouldn't touch that one if it had nipples.

Good man, I replied. I miss that kid.
