\"Manga-fied<\/a> Any one who knows me, in real life or the Internets, knows that I dig comics. So when the Face Your Manga<\/a> meme swept through Twitter<\/a>, Friend Feed<\/a>, Flickr <\/a>and other social thingambobs<\/a> it’s obvious that I’d take to that like a duck stuck in a rip in the fabric of space<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Go ahead. Report me<\/a>.<\/p>\n
