The photo suggests a weblog version of Hey Hey it's Saturday. That's me, the blogosphere's Dicky Knee, and I assume Naomi would happily take on the role of Jacqui McDonald. But who's Ozzy Ostrich?

You weren't trying to keep it Platonic, weren't you? Personally, I'm not at all surprised that Jason got heavied by the bouncers. He looks all of 16 in those photos, the bastard. Now I understand the erstwhile Libertarian's <a href="http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/08/06/saturday-salon-17/#comment-18406" rel="nofollow">ambivalence</a> about national ID cards!
