Is It Just Me...
...or is it unsettling to see the following headline: "'West Wing' Actor John Spencer Dies at 58 - Yahoo! News"?
It's not just the information itself - death is always unsettling, especially at the relatively young age of 58 - but the way it's immediately followed by "Yahoo!" is just plain wrong. Because, even with the hyphen, it still takes a second to realize the actual headline has ended and you're now just reading the news source.
Or maybe it's just me.

Matt! No way! Good to hear from you! Thanks for the kind words.
And what is the "bakiwop" thing all about? And that link to the Santa page?
bakiwop is just a nickname and the fbi santa thing is just a gag page i put up occasionally around the holidays.
