</html><description>I made Some Random Dude mad at me last week. I posted a picture of what I thought was a travesty of an opening line from a travel piece in the Register-Guard, a paper out of Eugene, Oregon. The photo included the writer's byline and the name of the paper.  Said line? "Recent reports of shark attacks on surfers not withstanding, there's nothing like a visit to the coastal enclave of Seaside to rekindle one's imagination of an early 20th century Pacific resort."</description><thumbnail_url>http://www.nerdseyeview.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cropped-typekey-banner.png</thumbnail_url></oembed>
