The Link Virus Epidemic

Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. On Open Comments Night the virus got out of control again. This time in Tuscany. Here are some cool links that were shared:

Interpol is searching neighboring countries for the following link leak virus carriers. If you see them, please approach with caution. All are known to break out in laughing for no apparent reason. One of their hideouts appears to be the Savannah College of Art and Design (a.k.a. SCAD). Bugs in the room picked up much discussion about it.

Joe, aka Photo Poet, Master of Disguise. It’s said no real picture of him exists.

Mark, aka Laffin’ Wiki. He’s got an unexplained fear of scissors near his blog.

Chris, aka Call Him Jack, the Interrogator. He’s known to be packin’ Klondikes.

Scot, aka Pacific Pen. He’s drawn the bottom line on every international crime.

HART, the Storyteller. It’s believed he passes code to nefarious ladies via stories about toast and the scenery in Canada.

Brian, the Consigliere. He appears as a mild mannered MAVS fan who likes alliteration. He hasn’t been heard from since last night’s game. He may have fallen victim to foul play.

Trisha, aka Butterfly Woman. She has a reputation for flitting in and out of tight situations.

Minic, the Document Specialist, is suspected of providing the paperwork that allows these folks to cross borders at will.

Christine, aka the Derrick Destroyer, sings for the coppers, but never snitches.

Deb, the Doc, keeps to the sidelines, but is a suspected cohort.

Kathleen, aka Fashion Moll, hasn’t been seen with this group before. She could be a nice lady who was seduced by the free snacks and beverages in the sidebar.

Tom Vander Well, Wine Quaffer, fraternizes with this unlikely group, but has never been charged with a crime.

Borneo Cat knows the ins and outs of laundering email so that it looks like it came from a real person.

Mike Sansone, aka the Conductor, has the international railway system in his pocket. He can miss any train in a second.

Starbucker, aka Mountain Getaway Driver, knows the back road escape routes through the Alps and the Rockies. He refuses to drive both on the same day, though.

Jamsi, Shananagan, and Keith Dsouza were seen in the company of these folks. It’s not known whether they were kidnapped and brainwashed to comply via grape Kool Aid and chocolate chocolate chip cookies.

The code-writing donkey and moose missed the flight and are still at the airline desk arguing about it. However, certain suspicious bunny villains were discussed and seen lurking about.

Meanwhile, both Interpol and the link leak suspects are wondering if Martin, the Ears, Neumann might be a mole. He spent 20 hours listening in on podcasts. Attempts are being made to find out just what it is that he’s publishing.
