Pope Francis is just Francis not Francis I.

It is like Irving Jones. He is Irving Jones until he has a kid that is Irving Jones Jr. There is no need for the I when he is the first pope named Francis.

Surreptitious sippers got a little help this week with the introduction of a stealth-drinking brassiere that holds up to a full bottle of wine. What's it called?

I don't deserve Thanks for my meager contribution this week. I'll accept a T or at most Th.

You kept things afloat when others were busy, and I haven't forgotten that.

Any idea when HOTW will post?

Worse than random guessing, 2/11.  On those 9 I should have picked the most over the top, cuz that was FARK.

mootmah: Any idea when HOTW will post?


It posted on Monday:  http://www.fark.com/comments/7637176

Headlines from this week should post next Monday. I try to get it out on Mondays now, but it honestly depends on how busy I get on that day. The creation of the HOW post doesn't typically take long--if I don't have too much on my plate. When I do, I sometimes forget to return to it later in the day.
