Literature Forum
I think I've just created a forum. Can someone go there are post something? If it works, it would be great to be able to discuss literature and whatnot.

Literature! Wuzzat? Hey, the best literature comes in as spam. Here's a sampling. Its origination is actually from a book by Cowboy Philosopher "Texas Bix Bender" (A person I much prefer to Will Rogers because he is less pretentious) but arrived uncredited in my mailbox. Here is the cut and paste that arrived. Not too shabby! And after all that high falutin' lit-rat-ture you bin digestin', this will be as sweet as a breath of fresh air when yer downwind from the barn.

I'm sick and BLogger won't accept my password if I type it on a French keyboard. Weird. So I'm posting here. I am going to the doctor tomorrow. I need to spend some time tonight writing a list of my symptoms and duration in French. Blah. I hate being sick. And I actually have to do work today. Double blah.
