Tomorrow will be simpleton's six-month anniversary of continuous publication, and I think not even our harshest critics can fault us for the limited number of screwups and missed deadlines we've suffered in our now-substantial history. Today we'd like to celebrate our penultimate anniversary day by screwing up and missing our deadline.

However, devotees can still get their fix of Calzone-brand content by taking a peek at our essay on the Beardstown Ladies in today's Feed. (At some time today, Feed will be updated, and our Beardstown piece will then become directly available here.) Another recent Feed feature is our dissertation on The Big Lebowski. And for something that's truly the same, only different, enjoy our heartfelt testimonial for Cryptofabulism, the newest and most exciting school of thought on the web!

Hope you enjoy them all. And if you're still not sated, do our hit count a favor by savoring some of the fine articles in the simpleton archive.

Thank you for reading Simpleton.
