I did not manage to think up a new weekly topic over the weekend, but luckily I had previously set up a default topic for just such an emergency. Unfortunately this topic is jackalopes. I'm not really sure how much there is to say about jackalopes, I just like saying jackalope and thinking about the jackalopes at play out on the lonesome prairie and never imagined that the default topic would ever really need to be activated. 20/20 hindsight, I guess!
