One of the best parts about the last couple of days is the flood of comments, emails, IMs and phone calls. Not that I didn't already know y'all love me or anything, but that has helped my spirits immensely. However, some folks distinguished themselves in cracking me up. Which on this blog calls for a contest!

Herewith is a harvest of some comment highlights. Usual rules apply, vote for the one you like best. I'll be sending off a mass market paperback of Mainspring Powell's | Amazon thb | Audible ] to the poll winner, personalized with a drawing of my tumor. (Yes, I saw it in the jar before they sent the miserable thing off to the pathology lab.)

Poll #1181370 Die laughing or live sober!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

What's your favorite comment on my cancer diagnosis?

Not, you understand, that I would like you to quit blogging about scientific experiments in parenting but to me that was the funniest. Closely followed by the tattoo. Very closely.

After sending that coment I had several minutes of imagining next season's Survivor: Jay Lake. Outwrite, Outblog, Outcheese.

I came this close to phoning Jeff Probst.

Sorry Jay, I can't vote. My favorite is still [info]danjite's response to [info]lasirenadolce's description of the tumor. "My God, I hope that wasn't Fred."
