If you don’t know Chris Clarke of the Coyote Crossing blog, you should.
You may know him, even if you don’t think you know him. His hi-fucking-larious post, This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post, was all over the Internets for a while. (You have to read the comment thread.) And his recent post on misogyny almost made me cry, in the best possible way.
His Jeep just got stolen — for the second time in two weeks — and was totaled. He cannot afford this.
Hank Fox at Blue Collar Atheist is doing a fundraiser to help him out. Chip in if you can.

Bad link with the text “This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post” (should be pointing at http://faultline.org/site/item/incendiary/). Also, it’s REALLY SLOW to load (or times out entirely) – the site might be overwhelmed by traffic resulting from a FtB bump.

John: Just tested the link, and it’s working for me. It may just be slow.

Greta: I’m humbled. Thank you. You, and Hank and PZ and all your #FTBullies mob have made this week significantly less catastrophic.
The incendiary post page was slow because I had the template set to show all six frillion comments in one page. Not a thing when my traffic’s at its usual non-squid-dotted levels, but obviously it mucked things up today. It should be faster now.

I tend to agree with Nick Charles: Chris Clark’s metapost was moderately funny. But then I am a veteran of Orkut, where there was a Metaforum in which I participated for a while.
(Orkut could almost be considered a metaservice — but it’s old news now, not much worth discussing.)
BTW: This is a comment illogically asking Nick Charles if he has a wife named Nora, and a wire-haired terrier named Asta.
