Also, whatever one may think of TVTropes, they sometimes come up with a particularly fine turn of phrase that I will happily appropriate...Nequamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225401111413524858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-46513914612882224412017-01-09T08:40:46.813-06:002017-01-09T08:40:46.813-06:00I think for every Eerie pub story there should be ...I think for every Eerie pub story there should be an "impossible clothes" category for all the clothes that become ripped and torn but always manage to defy physics and hang on at just the right places ...<br /><br />Yes, I had nothing real to add, accept yup, you get a ALL HAIL from me!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-62466084197197721242017-01-08T22:48:55.933-06:002017-01-08T22:48:55.933-06:00That's a lotta work, man.

Most people mire down in descriptive but subjective particulars (which can be pretty instructive for people who are browsing the cloud itself), but it's my experience that having fewer tags (or whatever Blogger calls 'em) may well work better than having more of them. But there is just <i>so much</i> ground to cover. You are definitely doing a hero's work.<br /><br />And may I suggest a whole new category for publication dates? I think one of the most interesting avenues for scholarship here is the possibility of correlating thematic evolution across the industry as a whole.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-10117548168522492192017-01-08T07:22:04.911-06:002017-01-08T07:22:04.911-06:00An amazing job, Nequam!!
