Sturgeon's Law: Assorted tidbits

Assorted tidbits

I found out yesterday that I'm going to be a first-time uncle. My brother's girlfriend is pregnant.
My rejections have been getting better: I just received a try-again from Columbia Poetry Review (a submission that was mostly torpedoed by having poems accepted elsewhere), and my Iowa Review rejection was personalized and signed by David Hamilton (the previous ones definitely were not). Whee!
So far, Overstock.com has not provided me with a shipping date for a new, undamaged television. The only other thing I ever bought from them was fine (this computer, as a matter of fact), but I wish I'd known all the customer service horror stories about them before I made this purchase.
To the person who found my site by searching for a graphic of Mr. Burns and Smithers having sex: I do not have such an item, nor do I know where to find one. Would Smithers be the bottom in such a relationship?

Congratulations on impending uncledom. (I've been uncled twice, and can't say enough good about it.)

Smithers would happily be a bottom.

Congrats future "Uncoe" (said in best Jackie Chan voice).
