Why I married the EtherHub.
Because he's the kind of person who would look out the window at the snow that's falling now, and say in a deadpan voice,
"Winter Wonderland, or Holly Jolly Hellhole?"

Can you get the EtherHub to post his reason(s) for marrying you?

Well, Mr. Ed, that's the $64,000 question. I've tried asking, and all I get is a sappy, indulgent smile. Personally, I think he got the short end of the stick. :^)
I'll ask him if he's inclined to share his dubious rationale with the rest of the world.

Do I actually get any of the $64,000? Or is it pretty much consumed by taxes and administrative costs? I guess I'll be lucky not to get a bill. I enjoy your site, by the way. I almost cried laughing at your Churchill art. It was that moving. I think the EtherHub is the luckier for having that humor at his beck and call (in theory), but I've only seen one example of his wit, so I could be wrong.

MrEd: After Federal, State, and local taxes, plus FICA and Workman's Comp deductions, I'd expect to see a shade over $8,200 in your take-home packet.
I'm glad you were able to cast aside preconceptions and allow Professor Churchill's art to sear, SEAR itself into your cerebellum. Now that you've had your eyes opened by Churchill's artistic genius, I'm certain you'll never again be able to lament the mass slaughter of little Eichmanns like US civilians, Russian schoolchildren, or Iraqi police recruits.
