Applying the torture

Scott: Hey! I clicked the Next button below your calendar, but it failed to show me tomorrows blog! I want tomorrow's news today! What gives? I did enjoy the "There are four lights" title to one of your blurbs, though. It made me snicker. Or snigger. Or whatever.

Dave: What is so friggin funny about "There are four lights?"

Scott: I snickered (sniggered) because of the four lights that always shine on "four lights the clown." Don't tell me you don't know about old "four lights!" He's the funniest clown around, save Lemons.

Dave: Mark Pilgrim seems to like torture people with obscure literary and pop-culture references. I could find nothing about four lights the clown, but I did find this StarTrek TNG reference.

Scott: I thought that it was you, not Mr. Pilgrim, that decided on the "four lights" blurb title.  Of course there's no "Four Lights the Clown!" Of course I knew it was a STNG reference. That's why I thought it was so great -- because of the wonderful obscurity, yet definite applicability, of the blurb title. Four Lights the Clown. Heh heh.

Dave: now who is applying the torture?
