1) Transfer all my comments to disqus, and switch over to that system entirely (Do it for me, and I'll provide you with a lifetime supply of DovBear dollars, plus a key to the executive J-blogger restroom.)
2) Write a post about the development of the idea that Rueven lost the rights of the firstborn.
(Summary: It's an interesting story, that parallels David's sin with Bathsheba, and can be traced through the Apocrypha. What I'd like to discuss: Did the story orginally develop to address certain textual anomalies, or to explain why the Rubenites were, for the most part, gone by the beginning of bayis rishon?)
3) Write a post about Vashti's tail in particular and Midrashim in general using the the word "atavism".
4) Tear someone a new one, in the way Jonathan Chait tears Roger Simon a new one here.
