Wil Wheaton Convergence

After having read Wil Wheaton's weblog at wilwheaton.net on and off for a year or more, I finally figured out a month or so ago that "to throw the goat" — an activity he apparently carries out regularly — was to engage in the rock-concert style flinging up of your hand with your index finger and pinky extended. I loved it. Good to have a name for that.

Several days later, it dawned on me that this previously incomprehensible textual construction...

\m/
...was Wheaton's ASCII approximation of the thrown goat.

Yesterday, it became clear that communicating this revelation was a perfect use for the button generator that Our Man Wil linked to yesterday.

Rock on, jefftidball.com readers. Throw the goat, and throw it proudly.
