What Are We Doing?

Nothing. We're doing exactly nothing. Take a look at your fingernails right now.




See how they are just sitting there on the ends of your fingers in an opaque fashion? They don't seem to be doing anything, but they are doing something. Your fingernails are slowly growing, so slowly that you can't see it. But try not cutting them for a month and you'll see that they are indeed growing. They'll even do that after you die. Fingernails are slow but tenacious.



Project Columbo is like a fingernail, except for the tenacious part.



To all who have expressed concern that we have thrown in the towel, do not worry. All towels are accounted for. We are just taking a little break. With the holidays and the snow and the flu and all the sleeping, it's just been pretty busy. Project Columbo will be finished, I swear it! I cannot just sit here with footage of Nick and Mark swimming in goose sewage and never release it. And lest we forget, Carl swam in the icy waters of Deliverance. Too much has been sacrificed to abandon this project.



But not enough has been sacrificed to avoid taking a break, apparently.
