Comment o’ the Week!
Holy shnit, it’s time once again for the COTW. Time sure flies when you’re sucking the marrow out of the box of chocolates that is life. (Oh man, at first I thought mixing metaphors would be good fun, but now I’m imagining chocolate truffles filled with bone marrow. Wait, isn’t that what Jello® is made of?

OMG, COTW!
For those of you who aren’t fruitlessly standing in line for an iPhone that will never be activated, it’s time for the Comment o’ the Week!
