You are forgiven. I'm rubbish at puns in general, too.
Spacy stuff. Hmm. Recently I have been looking at the backreaction induced by perturbations in an unfixed gauge, invalidated my previous results, and started specifying a gauge that makes the calculation as simple as possible, which is a gauge with a vanishing spatial Newtonian potential with the other freedoms eliminated by removing a combination of other spatial curvatures and the shift vector.
In layman's speak:
* Cosmology is wrong, it assumes the universe is smooth which it isn't
* If you try and average what's there instead you'll go insane
* I am doing a halfway house, taking normal cosmology where you assume the universe is smooth and add ripples, and then averaging *that* to see what changes
* My previous results are wrong
* I am trying to find a way of making the calculation as easy as possible, since I am extremely lazy
Investigations are ongoing.
Edit: Also, a week on from the torrent of blood, my nose is almost OK. I don't even get dried blood flooding out when I blow it anymore.

That's a reasonable analogy. I usually use a loaf of bread cut into slices. Looks smooth from a distance but actually full of holes and strings; the strings are networks of galaxy clusters and the holes are voids.
Sandpaper works fairly well as well though.
Thing is neither are "smooth", they just look it on average. And the very phrase "on average" is dubious in general relativity, because to define an average you have to define a coordinate system in which to take that average, and then average across vector or tensor fields, immediately rendering your results meaningless. There's ways of doing it, which aren't ideal, and they're what I've been using. (We're working on other approaches too which are much nicer, but currently, err, don't work.)
Basically the problem is if you take an average, and then evolve it through time (which is what cosmology normally does) you don't get the same answer as if you evolved through time and then took an average. We can't actually do the latter cos we don't know how everything was exactly distributed, but in principle it's what we should be doing.
TOO MANY WORDS.
I'm going to hide the fact I've changed my previous answers by changing my definition of what "acceleration" means in an averaged universe. There's a few ways of doing it when you use the time coordiante I'm using so I'll exploit that.
That'll leave me more time to go drinking with Russian ladies and have a high quality of life.

It wasn't that the concept was unbearably hard to grasp - the problem was the language he used to convey the concept. He had a wonderful ability to complicate a simply analogy to the point wherein it became irritatingly hard to understand.

I may give it a shot. If your maths is fine then Carroll's "Spacetime and Geometry" is probably the best GR (and SR though he assumes you know a lot of SR at the outset) textbook I've found. Easier to read than Wald, a shitload less up its own arse and irritatingly smug than Misner, Thorne and Wheeler, more up-to-date and less heavily based in SR and coordinates than Weinberg.
At heart, general relativity is extremely simple. Just as centrifugal force is a fictional force that only exists when you sit in an accelerating reference frame, gravity is a fictional force that only exists when you sit in an accelerating reference frame. Real forces don't give the same acceleration to any mass - it doesn't make sense for them to. Gravity does. Either nature is fucked up and playing games and making inertial and gravitational mass identical for no good reason or, much more simply, gravity doesn't actually exist as a force.
It's beautiful.

It gets ignored by the mainstream (LOL I made a punz) cos it's really, really hard to fit in the standard paradigm, but it's there, so far as we can tell. What it means no-one knows, but it appears to be there.
How significant it is is a different argument.
We still also care about cuspy cores of galaxies. Standard models of dark matter say the galactic cores should be super, super dense. They're not. You can solve some of that problem, but I'd say the problem hasn't actually gone away. It just gets ignored.
The standard paradigm has been staggeringly succesful, and it's amazingly simple, too, which is why people don't want to drop it. But there's a few things, like the dark flow (horrible name) that don't quite fit, and they shouldn't be ignored. I'd personally put dark energy into things that don't work because unless you like an intrinsic energy of spacetime (which few people really do) there's no convincing models of it.
See also: dark matter. If you don't like supersymmetry there aren't any convincing models for dark matter, either. Odd that it only arises when we push our theory of gravity orders and orders of magnitude beyond what we can test, innit? Gravity can be tested out to Pluto's orbit. The Pioneer anomaly's *might* (probably don't, but might) point that it's failing even at the edge of the solar system. The solar system is, at an optimistic estimate, about a tenth of a parsec across. The galaxy is around 100,000 times bigger than that -- who the fuck are we to think that actually our theory can be extrapolated across that kind of jump? Then the universe is staggeringly larger than that, and we're *still* using the same theory of gravity.
Nah, something fishy's going on here.

I feel you're the only person who'll understand

but it represents the first world cup i remember watching. It did not make me feel sad, despite my love for Gazza.
I hope this england team are good enough to achieve such a glorious failure this year :)
Edit: oh, I understand completely, just don't share that particular viewpoint. I'm a bit bicurious regarding england... I enjoy watching them play well and win, but the possibility of a more relevant trophy win than the completely irrelevant 1966 terrifies me, so I tend to be relieved when they get beaten.

A press who claim to want us to do well, yet scupper us at every opportunity;
An obscenely talented youngster with a temperament problem;
Several players at the last chance saloon;
Formation uncertanties;
And heavy handed local police spoiling for a fight.
It's well worth a watch, and the book is better.
Cracking soundtrack too, and Gary Oldman narrates it, which makes the hooligan scenes a little difficult to watch, as he will alwys be Bex to me

you said hoosier which made me think about the Hoosier Hot Shots and then I found out that John Lithgow did a version of their song "I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones)" and I was looking for that but I could only find "From the Indies to the Andes in his Undies" which was on his last kids album from 2006 which has the song "You Gotta Have Pep" but I kept looking for his version of "I Like Bananas", found it on the arranger's web site (J. Walter Hawkes), seems it wasn't released but here it is, some pretty faithful slide whistle and slightly unhinged vocals:
