Lesson learned: When you're in the media business, it's probably a good idea to avoid exposing yourself in anyway. For example, a post that included a photo of my hand yesterday earned four posts from (seemingly) one heckler, including the brilliant "Nice hand, douche."
Not a big deal, but I found that this video, featuring a baby panda and its mother, distracted me momentarily from the total despair of learning I have douche-hands.
