Comments: OK...now I'm REALLY tired...
Just read your blog entry du jour, and am compelled to respond.
It must also be said that YOUR existence has made the world a better place for a great many people. Especially me.
Thank you for helping to have made me Velveteen Rabbit REAL, g.

=========
"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real. ... It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Seriously, you need to have some type of anti-Gary Bettman shirt on Limewear.
