Comment SpamFest update
Bb here, reporting live from Jonathon Delacour's Comment SpamFest. I can see that we have a few early birds among the festival attendees, including that mad man of the weblog airways, the master of the One Word Weblog, Steve Himmer. Steve's comment is, well, urh, "No comment". What can I say, folks -- the man is a master of understatement.
(As a side note, folks, Steve is sporting a new look, these days, based on a move to Movable Type. It's sort of retro Arizona wasteland - very stylish, and not what one would expect from a man who lives by the sea. Very chic with those accents of rust and dust.)
Folks, while we're waiting on other arrivals at the SpamFest, I want to regale you with some Tips for Living, compiled from my own experiences.
Tip 1: When going to a county government building to register your car, never slam shut the cover of the hard glasscase holder for your sunglasses. It has a distinctive gun sound when echoing in larger buildings. Doing so may attract unwanted attention, including several country police officers with hands strategically placed on gun holsters.

Tip 3:
(intended for my Scottish 'pal' Simon)
When in a Melbourne bank with your American friend who is cashing some traveler's checks and has passed his passport over and is waiting for it to be returned, don't yell, 'He's got a gun,' and run out of the building, leaving said American friend holding the bag but not the passport, and thus unable to leave.
Such behavior may cause your American friend, who we will call 'Steve' for purposes of anonymity, to beat the piss out of you in the carpark after finally escaping the angry questioning of guards and the panicked tears of bank clerks, passport finally returned without well-deserved handcuffs.
