(As a sidenote, you may have noticed that there haven’t been new posts over the last few days. I was contacted this week by Condé Nast, which owns The New Yorker, about the blog using images that originally appeared in the magazine — I’m hoping to come to a satisfactory arrangement with them, but in the meantime I won’t be posting. Thank you all so much for reading and for being so enthusiastic about the blog. It’s been awesome to hear from all of you!)

Aww.

Mark G, Monday, 24 January 2011 11:31 (fifteen years ago)

"I must find the tree that killed my father."

"That one was asking for it."

"I came, I sawed, I conquered."

All those 'finalists' are rub.

Mark G, Monday, 9 May 2011 09:49 (fifteen years ago)

'I must find the tree that killed my father' isn't too bad imo, just made worse by context
