Giant Block of Foam vs. Evil Robot Monkey

Rob's surge in popularityThere’s nothing to make one quite so humble as realizing that photos of one’s husband with a Giant Block of Foam are more popular than links to one’s Hugo-nominated story.

That first surge is Evil Robot Monkey. The second is the Giant Block of Foam.

    Maybe you could have Steve McQueen encase the Evil Robot Monkey in the Giant Block of Foam.

    I think we need to nominate GBoF for something.

    Who doesn’t love a GBoF, add bacon and no one could resist (sorry, faken doesn’t hold the same allure… Real bacon has POWERS).

    I’m afraid this is yet another example of an all-too-common phenomenon which I’ve dubbed GLOSS…
