Well, I got myself a new (first) user pic. The user pic factory is great!

My friend and co-partner in Piximix.com has created two new comics based on some of our characters. You can check them out at:

I was talking to my friend about the common newbie mistake of hearing "topless bar" when people talk about a "tapas bar". It occured to me that the phrase "tapas bar" should be reworked such that 'tapas' is paired with a different food/entertainment noun. Sorta like animals each have a different grouping, e.g. "pride of lion", "herd of sheep", etc. Maybe "tapas flotilla"?

Anyway, that led me to the best reference page ever:
