Great Moments In Inattention To Detail

Smitty:  Stacy, look! We’re number 3 on Wikio!
 
Stacy: Smittiot! That’s not a Roman numeral!

Thanks to our readers, commenters, and fellow patriots. We’d love to do Technorati, too, but somehow our hosting provider doesn’t let our robots.txt file do the right thing.

    Um, don’t you mean “We’re number 7”?

    “111” is binary.

    “III” is Roman.

    @Wysocki,
    Hence the term ‘inattention’.

    You and Stacy are always a Roman Numeral One on my list.

    Technorati used to be great but I grew weary of dealing with their issues. You’re not missing anything but grief with that.

    Not sure about the Technorati, but the Illuminati turned out to be big pains in the asp . . .

    Not sure about Wikio or any of that inside geekball stuff either, but congratulations if they are in order . . . or is this just a tip jar plea for remedial classes for Smitty?

    But you’ve paid the dues, and as Ringo wrote, “Got to pay the dues if you wanna sing the blues, and you know it don’t come easy.” And we can listen to Ringo with confidence, since he is the only living Beatle who never let some one-legged gold digger con him out of half a billion dollars.

    Or, since you’re fond of Springsteen (and hey, Steel Mill played a sock hop at my high school in VA in about ’69 or so), remember “One day we’ll look back, and this will all seem funny.”

    @Estragon,
    It’s a simple outburst of impish humor, no more.
