Cats on Mars!

By Jimmy Johnson

August 15, 2003 — With all the talk about Mars lately, I thought it might be a good time to post this 15-year-old classic.

Big news! See that little padlock to the left of the Web address for this page? That means I have an SSL certificate! I know that some of you already know this hasn’t been, before now, a “secure” site. Perhaps you’re Web-savvy enough to know, or perhaps you have one of the more current browsers that warns you, “Don’t go there! You’re a fool if you do! Don’t say we didn’t warn you when this guy empties your bank account!” Perhaps most of you didn’t know or care, but you can now rest assured I am not some guy in a Balkan coffee shop pretending to be the creator of Arlo & Janis. I am indeed who I convinced somebody on the internet somewhere that I am! Feel better? Man, I wish I were in a Balkan coffee house.

    Lorem ipsum dolor, indeed! Did a search: resembles that proofreaders’ thing [etaioin…], which I cannot recall exactly. Jimmy, you’re strange. Peace, anyway.
