[WWI] Befuddled in blogland

[Jim Landon]

Well, my friend, you certainly do have the writing ability ... "they don't snap,crackle or pop- they just sit in the bottom of the bowl and get soggy." ... "I can get as snarky and meanspirited and dumb and irrelevant as I want!" ... "mullings and ponderations are being mulled and pondered". Brilliant.
