Out of the Blue

What a disappointment, I was actually able to finish that jawbreaker I mentioned yesterday, making it a one-day gobstopper, far indeed from everlasting. A reader named Mat made a post to our forums pointing the way to a 1/3-lb Jumbo Jawbreaker if you want to experience the questionable joys of candy too large to fit in your mouth for yourself, but as my experience proves, there's a wide range of possible outcomes to working on one of these guys, though the ad does promise "This one will keep you busy for AWHILE."

We're still in mail hell, so let me repeat that the best bet for reaching us for the time being is to use our temporary bluesnews@abydos.com email address.

#14: I'm interested in the fact that this objection has been raised in the same forums where there were all sorts of complaints about plans to remove references to the WTC from various media.

Ok, good point, but you do have to admit that there's a bit of a difference between acknowledging that the World Trade Towers once existed, and joking about an airplane smashing into a skyscraper.
