The Mysterious Exploding Blogroll

So I'm running a month behind on updating and expanding the blogroll to reflect those exalted connoisseurs I frequent and/or hang with in various threads here and there. I know there's some I can't recall off the top of my head -- perhaps because the top of my head seems to have gone missing this week. There will be more added later. See "other comrades" in the sidebar -- all added today.
