Flimsy Whimsy

Recently, my fellow contributors and quasi-contributor (yes, Trashish, that is a fire being lit under your ass..I mean, come on, Hugh Laurie, Robert Smith, and Johnnie Walker are practically begging for some blog-style props..) were having a heated, non-sensical debate about cultural randomness over numerous alchoholic beverages, again (if there's a better way to communicate, I haven't experienced it).
