Where did Alex Williams go? Left the pig dangling in the tub?

Yeah, he hasn't answered my PM, either. But he is a busy man. Or maybe he's gone into aestivation.

This usage was a nod to Branny. But you know, I do have a bad habit of repeating the same words and phrases too close together, both in talking and in writing. The latter, of course, is easier to correct without embarrassment, since I proofread 99.99% of the time. If anyone has any hints for me on how to keep from doing that, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Absolutely nothing wrong in being careful what you say or write.
The Disney channel warns kids (on a computer usage infomercial)
to be careful what they write: it is out there forever.
