Flush It Friday: Part One

I couldn't resist - I'm participating in the end of the year cleaning thing. See, to produce the kind of insanity that's on this web site, it takes lots and lots of reading. And, well, not everything that gets read and then rat-holed for potential use in some future post - gets used.  So, I've ended up with a ton of stuff that it's time to flush. In fact, there is so much of it - it's probably going to take me three weeks to drain my pool of  "not ready for prime time" articles and links dating back to 2011.  Consequently, I would suggest that you read fast because you are only going to get a one liner to help you decide if you want to take a peek at an offering before it swirls down the drain.....
