Ah yes. Well that explains it. I know of at least twelve other people who didn't read that review either.

Uh...I get 40,000+ hits for Mugwump.  What about you guys?

(Edit--I suppose if you put quotes around it, you only get about four hits.  One of which is, of course, us.)

Yeah, I did the quotes search, and the only hits other than us ignore punctuation (one has the first I at the end of the preceding sentence, and the other two have the first I as failed html tags).

And mugwump is bound to turn up a lot, because (among other things) it's the original name of the Mamas and the Papas.

When I first read your article, I thought you were assuming that you'd made up a fake word.  It was only after re-reading did I realize you'd only made up a fake phrase.

except that you must have read that review, Fell, since, you know, you judged it the best comic review submitted for a contest.

I have an idea for a poll. Of course it MAY require a picture, or not. If anyone's ever eaten Animal Crackers then you know that most of those animals are horribly rendered and are usually unrecognizable. So, why not, if you can, get a picture of an animal cracker and ask what animal is this. Or just say "What Animal Cracker shape am I thinking of?" Just an idea.

Was the talking horse option in honor of me? Because that would have been more useful than the 15 non-talking horses I did get.

I saw the answer first, and half-expected the question to be "Do you love the Computer?"
