For My Next Trick -OR- Close-out For 2010

I have a bunch of random idiocy in my drafts folder that I've decided to stitch together over the next few days. Will it be a tapestry? A quilt? An unmitigated disaster? Only time will tell. But I fully intend to begin 2011 without a trace of this year's detritus.

Or in the immortal words of Harold Washington, "What are we? Some flotsam? Some jetsam?? That floats by the will of the stream?" Oh hell no. This is a conscious decision. So let's see what we can make of the leftovers.

Random? Order out of chaos? A unifying cohesion?

At this point, your guess is as good as mine.
