Really, eHow.com?

I should explain, eHow.com (mind if I call you eHow?), that we typically reserve space in these virtual annals for derogatory incredulity of the highest order. To the best of my knowledge, to this point, the entries in this column have cast our subjects exclusively in a negative light.

Certainly and similarly, eHow, I could have chosen to harp on the failure of your articles to help in my various quests to end a friendship, to be gorgeous, and of course to seduce a cancer. However, I’d like to break precedent a little bit today, eHow, and let you know that your article on how to relieve myself of that nasty crick in my neck yesterday was perhaps the most physically useful piece of user-submitted how-to literature I’ve ever read online. Surprisingly so, in fact.

So kudos to you, Howie. My neck is feelin’ fine, and there’s neither scowl nor sneer on my face as I ask, Really?
