Want a roll with that crab?

There’s just this huge pressure going on here about how to kick The Enthusiast off. If the Internet has invented a way to shower its readers with actual balloons and confetti, I have yet to hear about it. A welcome video of me opening my arms wide to greet you, inexplicably with my pants off, seems like a wildly inappropriate thing to post. So how to begin? Other than with a whiny paragraph about how to begin?

With this link to a photo of a cute kitten, that’s how.

Yes, you’ve just been “Crab Rolled.” (Courtesy of Ted Leo.) Thanks for stopping by.
