Just for the record, the Moderation Police made a lot of arrests today, not a single one of them valid.
All have been released.

BOOM (Personal synchronicity)
I read this just as the sky was lighting up for about the tenth time over the past thirty seconds. I’ve hardly ever seen this sort of wrath-of-God weather.
Followed a couple of minutes later by my phone lighting up with TORNADO WARNING! TAKE SHELTER NOW!
(We don’t get tornadoes in New Jersey)
And next, maybe we’ll vote on whether Han shot first
Yesterday, Francesco Marciuliano posted that a Utah newspaper objected to the first comic (the color one), so he had to rewrite the middle panel just for them.
Maybe it’s just me, but… while I like both versions, I think the second one is funnier.
Your thoughts?
Cervelle de veau. Just saying.

The New Random Comments Page
It now exists, but I’m still trying to link to it from the sidebar. I swear, WordPress is making it more and more difficult to do anything not in their suggested template.
Patio
I assumed this storyline existed because an accident actually took out Ces’s patio — but surely he doesn’t live in a universe where a contractor will do work without payment up-front.
At this point, of course, Jeremy is thinking “The @$!# Squirrel Must Die!”
The Walkathon
In a fine bit of timing, I completed the Central Park to Battery Park walk just a few hours before the temperature dropped dramatically and three days of cold, hard rain began.
(To the uninitiated, Central Park is — logically — in the middle of Manhattan Island, and Battery Park is at the southern tip — as in “The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down’)
We ended at $1,172 (not counting the $780 my son collected up in Boston).
Starting point, Central Park. I could have gone inside the Park to take photos, but then I’d have found myself walking around and I had enough walking to do.
Working my way down Broadway (totally off-topic, if you’re interested in New York City history, this book is really good; I kept in in mind as I walked), I passed Time Square. The photos are NSFW (though you have to look at them pretty carefully), so they’re posted — with explanation — here.
And then five miles later, Battery Park
Okay, we’re not looking at a Pulitzer Prize for photojournalism here, but I figured I should post some visual record of the Walk.
Thanks again to everybody!
Is this the first time a human’s heard Grimm speak?
I guess it’s always been ambiguous whether Ma Goose can understand him.
