All Spelling Errors Will Stand Today

I got "Belegarth" right, and that should count for something.

Look, not to go all Andrew Sullivan on everyone, but there's a low-calorie sweetener called a suger alcohol, all right? And last night I ate a whole damn bunch of it. Like a full back of sugar-free Twizzlers, and a full pack of sugar-free M&M knock-offs.

If anyone's on Atkins, or a diabetic, they probably know what happens to the digestive system when a buttload of sugar alcohols are pumped into it. Let's just say I got about three hours of sleep last night, in between five hours of being in the bathroom, or groaning doubled-over with painful abdominal bloating and fever-sweats.

So, look, Typo Patrol, I'm barely able to even type. It's only because I've got a Constitution of 20 I'm able to even blog at all.

I will never do that again. I don't know what I was thinking. I think I thought it was a sometime thing, that maybe it would happen some time, but not all the time.

Nope. It's an all-the-time thing. Have more than a few pieces of candy with sugar alcohol in them and your GI tract is going to feel it's the venue for this year's Lollapalooza concert.
