Blink Don't Wink™
I am all for the Blink Don’t Wink™ campaign. As The Assimilated Negro says:
There is no situation where a wink is appropriate. There’s no biological, or physiological, or any-ological pedigree that supports a need for a human being to wink.
A. MEN. No one in the history of humankind has ever pulled off the wink. I say we start some coordinated campaigns, and I’d like to nominate “Winkers are Wankers” as an additional tagline.

Don't antagonize us, Jeffrey. We'll cut you.
(For the record, while not strongly pro-wink, I am not on board with this virulent anti-winkism. What would the Anti-Winkites propose as an alternative method for sending a shared secret message? The cough? The nose-scrunch?)
I must disagree. While my only winks are in the Jeffrey semi-colon format, I have received many a wink from a few particular friends that I'm not willing to part with.
The "wink" is also the example used by Clifford Geertz as a semiotically rich social fact, something which needs interpretation and "thick description," beyond the physical description of the act, in order to properly understand and situate within a culture. Do you want to rob us of our critical exemplars?
I hate blogs you are taking up valuable bandwidth and hard disk space. Thanks for posting the calvin and hobbes cartoon i was looking for it everywhere.
