Folks! It is once again time for me to take my long winter's nap, by which I mean a week or so off from posting on the site so that you can take a break from reading and spend time with your families (or with your bookie or with cable TV, I don't care what you do). Do not fear, however: I will return after the New Year to let you know how badly Dawn's date goes, and will keep on blogging in 2025 and for all eternity.

In the meantime, though, here's your top comment of the past few days, something to tide you over:

"Like a toothache! Not that we have to worry about that! [they all open their mouths wide to reveal their weird gummy maws]" --pugfuggly

And here are your runners up! Very funny!
