OTOH, the stories come through. It is not like they simply threw things into the memory hole because they mentioned 'violet' or 'blue' or formerly favored bloggers.
Oceana has always been at war with East Asia..." - HouseCentipede, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I had always suspected Xeni sucks, but this seems to confirm it!
