While Twittering today in verse
I figured that I could do worse
Than write this post in rhyme as well.
This week I found the special hell
Where skeptics go, who seek goodwill
From others chronically ill
But find it is anathem-y
To question homeopathy
Or point out that dear Dr. Oz
Is not an ally to our cause.
I’ve talked before of my frustration
With this lose-lose situation:
Patients often reject proof
That in some CAM there is no truth.
But I cannot sit idly by,
Nor do I have the strength to try
And fight this battle, which is lost –
For me there is too high a cost.
I thus encourage a report
Of somewhere else to find support
With other skeptics who are ill
But would eschew the sugar pill.
On Monday I may lose aplomb
While geeking out on Infocom.
If that name is a mystery,
I send you off with history.
I’d like to switch channels and get back to some of what the name of this blog implies: that which is nerdy. While I am a skeptigeek, and I’ve really enjoyed the discussions over the past couple of weeks, I’m going to take a break for some gaming on Monday. That is, I’ll be writing about online games.
I started out on this blog trying to make sure I replied to every comment, but I’m going to admit defeat, or less melodramatically a change of policy. There are times I dither over responses for longer than it takes me to write a Friday post, and in those cases I usually end up with something inane. As I mentioned before, I appreciate everyone reading regardless of whether you comment, so I hope you will in turn know that if I do not respond to a comment, it’s not necessarily a snub or an implicit disagreement. More than likely I’m just fatigued. I get that way. Kinda chronically.
In advance of Monday’s return to games, I send you off with nerdcore guru MC Frontalot‘s homage to the greatest games ever made, Zork and its interactive fiction descendants by Infocom. Also, this post was written to the dulcet tones of loud raccoon sex. Just thought you’d like to know.
Weekend sendoff: Lighten up!
