Hilarious line on “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” this morning

“Lord Dark Blade of Dorkwad at a Renaissance Fair…”

Which of course could sound, well, mean, until you realize that everyone on WWDTM and everyone listening is, by definition,  a proud resident of Dorkwad, or its sister town, Geekville.

Note to Thomas Mann:  Your book, Thomas Mann, Metal Artist, has been invaluable to me in the writing of my own, Sculptural Metal Clay. In addition to the enjoyment offered by its content, which was significant, it has turned out to be exactly the correct size and weight to support my now-floppy laptop screen, thereby allowing me to complete my publication. I am in your debt, sir.
