Why do people with so little to say take so long to say it?

I can't be bothered, even when it's about me! Can somebody give me a "shorter Pandagon"?

ADDED: Wow. It looks like that Pandagon link crashed the Bloggingheads server. How tragic! All those those wonderful people out there who could be looking at me.

MORE: Oh no, it wasn't the Pandagon. It was mini-y2k killed the server. (Back now.)
