Latency Grabbag

This is what happens: some jackhole starts up a blog and makes a few posts and then stops. The blogosphere (god help us if that ever gets any real traction) is thus composed in no small part of barren, abortive farmsteads, husks littered in plurality at the foot of those A-list sky-scrapers and B-through-Z-list office buildings and warehouses and residential plots, dry cracked bones dominating the landscape as far as the eye can see.

So, yes. Enough of that.

Today in Safeway, a guy was challenging his friend to define "is." What does "is" mean? Huh? Huh?! He was making a point of some sort; the point is in theory that no one can define it because it's undefinable and the guy is therefore very perceptive for having noticed.

What I took from this (aside from a desire to smack him upside the head and say, "it's an expression of existence or equivilance or similarity, depending on context, you git...") is that if that sort of shit defines most of the aforementioned barren littering husks, I can probably do better.
