Gotcha, SP… such linkiness was pretty self indulgent of me…it’s my favorite blog toy, where it shall remain.

Siddhartha, if I were there, say, as an intern, I’d happily get into trouble right along with you over macacarati- I think it’s that good. I like desilite, but worry that it’ll get mispronounced, and desigentsia, which is all I could think up, just doesn’t have the same contempo ring to it.
