INSIDE JOKES

I had another thought about the internet bubble. One of the good things about it is that, coterie that we are, we're privvy to some great insider jokes. While I was liveblogging at SpouseBUZZ, AWTM came and looked over my shoulder. She pointed out in horror that I called Ward Carroll (our Military.com sponsor) Ward Churchill! That slip might not have meant much to most of the population, but it was enough to make us die laughing. I love stuff like that, and the more esoteric the better. Work a Lileks quote or a Micah Wright or Jayson Blair insult or a fake-but-accurate pronouncement into conversation, and I'm yours forever.
