Damn *hic* it!
I haven't had the hiccups in years. It's a good thing too. When I get them, they don't go away until it's gone well past annoying, blown right through painful, and settled somewhere near "just kill me now." This afternoon is gonna suck.

I usually hum show tunes, e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUFO2tUBV4c and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvVX2yZiZN4.
Alas, I can't carry a tune to save my life, and even if I could, that second one is totally out of my range.

Aw, hell. I forgot mee.nu doesn't automatically make links. Here they are for people who are too lazy to cut & paste: first and second

Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers is just about in my vocal wheelhouse. Occasionally he'll climb a bit too high for me.
The other Brother, Bobby Hatfield, I can do pretty well if I drop him an octave or two.
Mee.nu
has bracket tags that will automatically embed various web videos. Just
put "youtube=xxxxxxxxx" inside brackets and it will take care of the
rest.
Road Trip (not by design)
So this morning I and a couple friends arranged to take a short drive outside of town and hike Four Peaks, a local geographic landmark northeast of Phoenix.
However, when they saw the weather looking like this...
Ok, maybe it looked a bit more like this...
Suffice to say I quickly found myself on my own. So I decided to at least drive up and see how things looked (but I'm not dumb enough to do the full hike alone).

Beautiful pictures, Will! I secretly wish I lived in Forks, WA. I would have never known it was the rainiest city in the US if not for the Twilight series, lol.
Are you going to be at Steve's tomorrow?

Content of a sort
While I was thrashing about looking for something, anything, that would pique my interest enough to write, I realized I don't have an "about the doucheb... author" page. That is now remedied. It will eventually end up somewhere in the homepage template.

Nice to meetcha. My about page is shamefully low on detail compared to yours...but then, it took geoff (the original, not the new harkonnen guy) about an hour to track down my real name, so I figure I've shared enough information online already.

Those IB guys are pretty good PI's. Eddiebear tracked down Cranky after he disappeared from the tubes, but it was just a bit too late.
I almost put up my ham callsign in the about page, but with that you kind find a full name and address in about 30 seconds online, if you know where to look.
I think we're both in the Hostages Facebook group, so it would be pretty easy to find my full name there. I'm the only Will in there. (At least I seem to recall getting an invite and joining up, but since they redid the page layouts, I have a hell of a time getting to my "groups."

I got invited to the Hostages group but didn't join because I felt delicate about joining a group for a blog on which I never comment (due to the majority of the conversations taking place while I am asleep)...but I am in the Moronosphere Facebook Bureau.

Well, I mostly lurk over there too, but when a good joke thread starts early (or I'm not particularly busy at work) I try to chime in. It's a private/invisible group, so the only people who can see it are members.
I did not know there was a Moronosphere group. I should probably get Billy up in the sidebar at some point.
