There’s No Way This Can Be True

This post has been inspired by a line written by Dan Shanoff.  I think.  Shanoff is a man who elevated the super-short form of writing into an artform with the Daily Quickie on ESPN.com, which he has since brought to his own website, DanShanoff.com.  The heading (sub-heading?) at the top of his webpage, underneath the [...]
