And we're not even to the Ps (phoenix). If we didn't already have the duck as a sort of CM mascot (with the alpaca as a runner up -- though I think we ate it/them a while back), we'd have to choose the phoenix.
It was really weird late last night (somebody was fiddling, I assume -- and/or drunk), but it seems to have settled down. I don't think I much like the background, but isn't an axiom of CM that the layout/typeface/whatever is always ugly/lousy, at least according to some readers.
I did like seeing the duck flying over the masthead the last few days. Sorry to see he's gone (and hope he will return now and then).
It looks lovely, really. Gray backgrounds are great; chili peppers on the masthead are great; whatever design shows up in the next hour (and 24 hours, and next week) is great.

Dear Terry. You're a real moderator now. Put the revolver down.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve that chili pepper in the masthead.

ReplyDeleteAnd mascots are just ducky. Post as many mascots as you want.
DeleteAnd now I'm sounding like Silly, or maybe Sally, or maybe Silly. I really don't know.
DeleteI want to drink with you, Cassandra.
DeleteYou know I feel about peppers. What kind of pepper is that, anyway? Could it be, perhaps, maybe, a chiltepin? yum.
