Metafilter makes Page 1 of the Washington Post. (Food section, that is.) The author quotes comments in this April 30 thread about a Washington chef fed up with her customers' special orders.

Why is everything "Web log" instead of "weblog" when it comes from a print source?

Is it just me, or is MetaFilter swiftly becoming the "I'm too lazy to get my own quotes" site for journalists?

I just tried to find a link to the Family Guy clip where the guy on the talkshow is really a girl, is really a horse, is really a broom, and happened upon the List of Television Inanimate Transformations. Wow. Neurotic ever?
