Aside: A note on memes: My girlfriend and I were scanning listings for Brooklyn apartments this past weekend (we were considering moving) and found this rental (the link has been removed by Craig's List; it was a rental listing for an S&M apartment). We laughed. The next day, I published the link in this section, thinking it was a funny bit of property. A day later, it appears here and then the next day, here, both sites with sizable followings.As I think this is the first meme I've started (I haven't seen anyone who found the link before me), I have to say, I'm tickled. Hopefully, the dungeon-master will send me a thank-you note. [RB]
