There are some really intriguing/amusing snippets here - can't wait to see what some of them turn out to be. ;-)

(Btw, your posts on LJ frequently don't have an icon - I find I have a sort of automatic tendency to ignore all icon-less LJ posts on my flist - they're generally crossposts from other sites and spam, I suppose. I find now that I frequently miss your posts - my brain isn't registering them because of lack of icon. I mention it, because a default icon isn't that hard - unless you have some sort of strong objection? - and I may not be the only one who does this. Or I may. I am odd.)
