My productivity has dropped off considerably as of late here at Townhall. I feel I owe my visitors an update on what’s going on. The web site Little Green Footballs has a closed membership that only opens registration for new members for brief periods of time at the random whim of the site-master. Since LGF is one of my daily reads, I’ve been there numerous times, but as fortune would have it, I chanced to visit while registration was open recently, and promptly did so. Members of the community are called Lizards and in joining, I’ve become a Lizard in my own right in good standing.
I then began to explore the member’s only parts of the now familiar website and found the Lizard Lounge; a chat room for the Lizards to congregate and argue and swap ideas in real time. I’ve suggested this feature to the powers that be at Townhall several times in the past to no avail. Now instead of the endless sifting of threads, I can actually interact with my fellow Lizards, a community very much like the gang here at Townhall. Moonbats get sifted out fairly quickly, but it certainly isn’t an echo chamber by any means. Most evenings lately, I’ve been there chatting, arguing, telling jokes, and just being the irascible Scottie you all have grown to know. I’m sure the novelty will wear off soon enough, but in the meantime if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to see a man about a Lizard.
