Yes, it's that time again

THT has alerted me to the fact you all are approaching 5,000 posts, which means it's time for a new thread. It would be my pleasure to create said new thread. Before I leave, however, I'd like to provide you a picture of the always-lovely Mariska Hargitay.

Have a nice day.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Stinky runs sounds bad, not good. I'm sure there's a thread for that elsewhere.

"Auburn finalized its 2021 nonconference schedule, adding a season-opening matchup with Akron". That sounds like a great way for Gus to start a national championship season. I approve.

2604 - Stinky runs everywhere forces all ski resorts into bankruptcy.; 4:48 PM
E-Bro said...: Been mostly on internet blackout what with the Aussie Open going on. Generally watch the coverage until about midnight and then the rest when I get home from work, by which time the next day's coverage is already beginning.

It's a grind, but worth it.

2605 - Warmest Australian Open on record. A real scorcher.; 7:57 AM
michael said...: My PREDS didn't send anyone to the Australian Open this year, so I haven't been paying much attention.

2606 - PREDS win the Australian open. The weather is temperate.; 11:45 AM
THT said...: PREDS @ Knights on NBCSN tonight. Go Team!

Penguins haven't played since Sat. I think the franchise may have folded after their most recent miserable road trip.

2607 - Penguins win the British Open. That makes Gilmore Happy.; 7:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Subban fed his pinky to a Vegas player last night and then seemed surprised at the outcome. That PREDS backup goalie was fantastic.

AU basketball is doomed to mediocrity this season. The curse of 1975-76 will see to that.

2608 - WHL folds after one summer. Seems the world just wasn't quite ready for water hockey with a beach ball and jet skis.; 2:09 PM
michael said...: My favorite thing about my PREDS is how we prepare our backup goalies.

THT... are you ever going to post again on that other board?

2609 - you'll believe a man can fly.; 3:09 PM
michael said...: I now see you are deleting as you go to maintain 88 posts. While the internet historian in me winces at this practice, I applaud your devotion.

2610 - Wince! All of you! Wince!!!!; 6:13 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Haven't deleted a thing, though that is an excellent idea to make it legit!

I fly all the time in my dreams. Barely missed a power line the other night.

2611 - THT finally realizes that Crosby won the 2019 NHL All-Star MVP award.; 10:46 AM
michael said...: ohhhh i see. you tricked me with the "Posts 88" thing. Clever.

My daughter is doing a paper on lucid dreams. We've talked about it so much that I had a lucid dream the other day. Wasn't very cool though. I woke up within the dream and in continued to be a normal dream. The lucidity was lost.

2612 - Silent lucidity; 2:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Go to sleep. Everything is all right. These dreams come on when I close my eyes. Help me to forget today's pain. The dream police, they're coming to arrest me. Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

2613 - Parole is here! Unfortunately, it's meeting night at the Buy More; I'd rather stay in my cell.; 3:19 PM
michael said...: Snow is coming! Maybe. We'll see.

Don't worry, my wife picked up some milk at the store today, and we were already good on bread.

2614 - The Bread and Milk Wars begin.; 5:58 PM
michael said...: The snow did not come!

2614 - Battle of Midway turns the tide in the Bread and Milk Wars; 1:12 PM
THT said...: Plenty of rain here, as predicted :( Watching Jack Reacher for the umpteenth time. Nothing like a good Pittsburgh movie.

2616 - 2616 bears the brunt of undeserved criticism over the slight to 2015.; 7:53 PM
THT said...: I obviously shouldn't post while watching Jack Reacher kick butt.

2342324829834 - Planet of the Apes is no longer fiction; 8:19 PM
michael said...: Did Jack Reacher end up winning?

2617 - The Bread and Milk Wars come to and end, but the Milk and Bread Wars begin.; 12:45 PM
E-Bro said...: Had less than 3 inches on the ground where I was, MJT.

Now that I'm a CIV employee instead of CTR, it was nice to get the day off without using any personal leave.

2619 - Cereal sides with Milk in the Milk and Bread Wars.; 1:02 PM
michael said...: You're a CIV now, huh? did you get that month long backpaid leave, or were you essential?

2620 - Between the entrance of Cereal and the introduction of toasters into battle, things aren't looking good for Bread; 1:33 PM
E-Bro said...: I work for the Army and our budget had already been fully funded, so no shutdown for me.

2621 - Chords to the toasters are cut, giving bread a lifeline.; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Chords to the toasters... that rings a tune.

2622 - Cereal, made from grains, captured and tried for treason. At the trial, milk spills under intense cross examination. Creal bran ded a traitor and executed.; 12:52 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Puppet Hour! Those were the good ol' days.

2623 - Puppet Hour is declared a national holiday; 4:48 PM
michael said...: Puppet hour was cracking back in the day. I forget how chaotic this place could be back then.

I think I have the flu. Everybody has the flu.

2624 - Flu; 10:37 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Are you feeling better?

Bring out your dead!

2625 - the flu flew by; it's already 2625; 7:27 AM
michael said...: I've just had a headache for about a day now. Feels more like a cold than the fly. No temperature.

The wife and three of the kids have the flu, so maybe it is the flu and I'm just super tough?

2626 - Auburn signs Flu McFluboo on signing day.; 1:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I don't want the flu. Please wipe your keyboard with alcohol or H2O2 before you post. As old as I am, the flu could kill me, especially since I don't ever get flu shot.

2627 - longing for 2829 on the next page; 2:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I was in W-S all day. I'm guessing we signed the best class in the country and we flipped a bunch of 5* recruits from our rivals. I'm right, aren't I?

2628 - AU signs the first class of all 5* recruits.; 8:55 PM
michael said...: We really didn't want any new 5* recruits yesterday. It's much better to get 3* and coach 'em up.

2629 - Auburn loses every game because the 5* recruits all have bad attitudes; 1:50 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: that 2629 prediction made me laugh. I can't find a single televised sporting event worthy of a mid-winter campfire. Good thing the weather is warm or we'd just freeze tonight.

2630 - AU coaches up Feng's great grandson from 1* to All-American. Not only does the football team win all games, but they get great marks for their dissertations.; 4:39 PM
michael said...: Is it Friday yet?

2631 - The national champion Auburn football team is invited to the Turquoise House, where President Donald Trump VIII serves hot dogs at the celebration dinner. Feng's great grandson mysteriously falls into a coma.; 1:58 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Where have you been?! It was Friday like a week ago.

If you leave by midnight, you should be able to get to W-S in time to help us paint tomorrow. I'll have a Chick Fil A bacon & egg biscuit waiting for you, and some Krispy-Kreme doughnuts.

2632 - DTVIII outlandish claim the previous year that Feng's coma resulted from Russians tampering with the hot dogs is proven correct.; 6:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: michael, since you didn't show, I ate all your food. I was so full, I wasn't able to paint. MrsTHT blames you, or she would if she knew all the details.

2633 - PeterFrankenschmidt returns to Hv1.0, just two centuries before Monica's cataclysmic return.; 10:54 AM
michael said...: I left five minutes after midnight. When I was pulling into W-S, I realized I was late. Embarrassed, I drove back to Hville.

Feel free to tell MrsTHT it's all my fault. I feel just terrible about the whole thing. Just terrible.

2634 - paint goes extinct; 1:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I can't wait til 2634!

Last night weatherman predicted high of 68 today. So far, we've made it all the way up to 46 with gray mist all day. Pure unadulterated rain tonight. Forget global warming, what we really need to focus our attention on is global wetting.

2635 - Battle of Midway really heats up with two new combatants, each eager to fill the paint void. Shellac and Varnish, neither of which has any scruples, bring unprecedented stain to the art of warfare.; 3:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I've just returned from the blogger awards show where I accepted a bloggie for best 3:29 PM post on jaygtate.blogspot.com.

michael, I threw your bloggie for best 1:21 PM post into the Ohio River. If you go to Memphis and put a big seine in the river, you may be able to retrieve it.

2636 - the last bedbug utters a stream of profanity and then dies.; 3:16 PM
michael said...: man i've been sick for like 3 weeks. will it ever end?

2637 - still sick; 3:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: take two aspirin and post in the morning.

2638 - some fool finds a prehistoric bedbug in amber and does something really stupid; 5:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: you didn't take your asprin, did you?

This guy is spot on in assessing the Penguins league-leading inconsistency: I think the Penguins are good enough to win the Stanley Cup, but I’m not sure they’re good enough to make the playoffs. At this point, I won’t be surprised if either happens.

The PREDS are solidly in the playoff picture, but they are going to have to up their game if they want to get deep into the playoffs. I know, I know... the Stanley Cup is in the bag!

2639 - 52; 11:58 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Well, if push comes to shove, I'll push & shove this thing to 5,000 posts all by myself. I'm trying to decide whether I should post once/minute, once/hour, once/day.... or once/decade.

While cogitating that, I just missed my next once/minute post. I may have to rethink this.

2640 - Thaddeus Threetone's song, 9035768, is a complete flop.; 3:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Sleep deprivation is not as much fun anymore.

So... AU's new 2nd/3rd Saturday in November opponent at home in even years will have to be one of these:
LSU, Arkansas, aTm, Non-Georgia East

Seeing as how every one of those options already has a routine opponent for that weekend, whichever it turns out to be is going to cause everyone's schedules to get shuffled. Can't wait to see how this game of 52 card pickup plays out.

2641 - SEC scheduling glitch now has AU playing 8 conference road games in even years and 8 conference home games in odd years, which makes every year seem odd.; 7:02 AM
michael said...: My voice has almost come back. I'm still snotty but no longer on the edge of death.

2642 - Battle of Midway; 10:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: you may think it's mucus, but it snot

Death can't keep you in the ground!

2643 - Due to the overwhelming advantages of its opponent, Midway resorts to guerrilla warfare in its long-running battle against O'Hare.; 3:09 PM
THT said...: Pens won a game but lost two more players to injuries. That's four in the past two games. Tough loss for the PREDS tonight. The Blues are Red hot.

2644 - British engineers finally rebuild the bridge over the River Kwai.; 9:35 PM
michael said...: Now's not the time to peak, though, THT. My PREDS know that.

2645 - The River Kwai freezes due to global cooling. People just walk right over the river now.; 3:25 PM
THT said...: Rain much of the day. After two days of sunshine I was beginning to worry that we'd never see rain again.

2646 - Ice floe from the Kwai drifts into shipping channels leading to a maritime tragedy when it causes the sinking of the Thaitanic.; 8:31 PM
michael said...: lol at the Thaitanic.

had a lot of 40 degree rain this weekend. great weather.

2647 - no more maritime tragedies; 9:53 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Great win for the PREDS last night; they really needed a good win more than they needed the two points, but the latter certainly won't hurt.

2648 - PREDS continue winning; 4:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: oh joy, 3 days of rain forecast for the weekend. Great weather for procrastinating about moving furniture from here to there.

2649 - Historians laugh at the early 21st century proponents of global warming which never materialized. However, sea levels have still risen 20 feet thanks to 500+ years of 40 degree rainy days.; 2:20 PM
michael said...: it's been a cold one this week. my two oldest girls have a track meet this afternoon that i'm not real excited about. Too dang cold for track meets.

2650 - turns out global warming was real, and now it's too hot for track meets. The river kwai dries up, which is good news for some.; 10:03 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 70s this weekend. Oh, and rain, of course. I can't wait til Fall.

2651 - The Great Kwai Riverbed Roadrace revitalizes the Burmese* and Thai economies.

*Myanmarese? Myanmarian? Neither looks right.; 5:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: So much to do, so little time. I need a month of vacation to catch up on stuff. That's what happens when you are on 12th day of 16 consecutive work days. Sigh.

2652 - Alpha quadrant's Interstellar Congress adopts a 3 hour work week.; 11:58 AM
michael said...: Bought a dryer for the second time this week. The one I bought a couple of days ago had an issue with the door.

Hopefully I have time to pick it up tonight. The old dryer is broken, and the laundry pile continues to build.

2653 - global warming is so hot that dryers aren't even needed anymore.; 3:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: we just bought a w&d last week. They won't be delivered for about 3 more weeks.

2654 - global warming so hot that even washers aren't needed anymore; 5:59 PM
E-Bro said...: What's wrong with a clothes line? (Checks forecast for Huntsville) Oh, right.

2655 - Global warming so hot that nothing needed anymore because humanity can't survive in present conditions and evacuates to Kepler-186f after wormhole is discovered beyond Jupiter.; 10:02 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 24 hr sale going on at the Buy More. Come on buy!
Good news(?) is I get to go to W-S tomorrow on completely inadequate sleep.

2656 - Someone finally figures out how to position a worm hole between CH and W-S, far too late to be of any benefit to THT.; 12:32 PM
michael said...: Did you scare away bubbs, THT?

2657 - Global cooling causes CH to wormhole into W-S for THT ABCD; 1:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I don't scare nobody.

My PC is about to restart against my will

2658 - p; 1:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: You know, if bubbs wasn't such a slackard, we'd probably be banging on the door of our 5,000th post by now.

2659 - Chiclet shortage.; 10:59 AM
E-Bro said...: THT, I noticed you're at 88 total posts on AUFC and the 88th wasn't a Beasley. Don't even know who you are anymore.

2660 - Hottest year on Midway.; 4:29 PM
michael said...: He's been deleting posts, ebro. Every post is his 88th post. He's either a cheater or a hero or both.

2661 - the heroes cheat at Midway.; 5:11 PM
michael said...: Yall think Auburn will win tomorrow?

2671 - The world is overtaken by the Macarena craze!; 4:00 PM
michael said...: Don't worry about any bullies making you change your name around here, THT. We love you just the way you are.

2672 - tar heels and tigers fight to the death.; 11:31 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Thanks, michael. I'm Tar Heel born and I'm Tar Heel bred, and when I die I'll be Tar Heel dead, so rah rah Auburn Tigers, rah rah Auburn Tigers, rah rah Auburn Tigers, GO BIG BLUE! I would absolutely love for my beloved AU Tigers to win 2 more games this weekend. Meanwhile, I'll be watching hockey. GO PENS! They host your PREDS on Friday night at 7pm ET

2664 - everyone loved tar heels and tigers fight so much that they reversed time. Unfortunately, they went to far and everyone will have to suffer through the Macarena craze again.; 12:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: e-bro, see BEASLEY!!!

2665 - scientists continue to work frantically under penalty of death to find a way to skip year 2671; 12:06 PM
E-Bro said...: Should MJT and I start referring to ourselves at Volunteer Tigers since we're both from Tennessee? Though I'm not Volunteer bred, per say. My Mom is from Oak Ridge, TN, but my Dad is from Fort Payne, AL.

2666 - Be gone, Satan!; 10:13 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: if you aren't paid professionals, you must be volunteers.

2667 - and just like that, the evil one vanishes.; 3:23 PM
michael said...: I volunteer all my posts on the internet. My comments are worth millions, in my opinion, and I'm just out here doing it for free.

2668 - aerobics are really popular.; 4:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: My millions of posts are worthless, but I'll keep posting just to eat up bandwidth.

2669 - anaerobes continue to be shunned by society; 1:48 PM

michael said...: I really messed up some of my plants yesterday. I moved them to the green house, but the green house must have gotten way too hot. Kilt a bunch of my peppers. Tomatoes pretty much all survived. But I'm bummed about me peppers. Guess i'll buy some bonnie plants like some kind of amateur.

2676 - the time travelers were only able to delay earth's fate, not change it: the macarena craze hits!; 3:17 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Too hot for peppers? Should have saved that for Irony Day.

2677 - Speaking of vegetables... Excess population and infrastructure squashes the northern hemisphere; 9:28 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Watching PREDS clinching first place in the Central Division (if they hang on to their lead for another 13 minutes) and it occurs to me that PREDS fans are waaaaaay more into the game than the zombies in the seats of the Pittsburgh arena.

2679 - In anticipation of their first season in the new arena, the PREDS sell all 615,000 season tickets before Irony Day.; 9:13 PM

michael said...: i bought a bell pepper and a poblano pepper plant so that i won't have to wait forever on those peppers. Did some more seedlings that hopefully I don't ruin, but they won't be yielding fruit until July or so probably. all the jalapenos were on another shelf of the greenhouse down lower where it wasn't so hot, so they weren't affected.

Gonna plant a bunch of things in the garden when I get a chance. Got some tomatoes and squash and zuchini ready to go

Oh, and this weekend we were at a basktball game, and my 7yo daughter was looking at the score and commented "I hate odd numbers," and I thought of you THT.

2682 - mjt turns 700 years old. Doesn't look a day over 632.; 4:01 PM

2690 - to the viktor goes the table settings; 1:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Still trying to figure out who to root for in the East. I don't like the CBJ because they play dirty against the Penguins, but it's hard not to root for them right now. I suppose the Maple Leafs are the team for which I have the least animosity (I'm operating on a safe assumption that Carolina will be joining the Penguins on the links next weekend).

In the west... GO GOLDEN KNIGHTS!!! GO PREDS!!!

2691 - the sun shines brightly, confusing everyone; 12:53 PM
E-Bro said...: Or maybe my Avs in the West, THT? Coming on strong.

2692 - Supernova is coming.; 7:59 AM
michael said...: My PREDS came through strong last night. Can't believe any of you people doubted them.

2695 - Everyone is OK!; 5:22 PM
THT said...: Peachy! Just awful busy trying to get 18,320 things done. Did I ever tell y'all I hate Windows computers? Gotta go get a truck; gonna try to move tomorrow after the overnight rain and before the afternoon rain.

2696 - Avs celebrate 700th anniversary of their first Stanley Cup by winning another.; 10:06 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Move went well despite y'all's lack of participation. One minor glitch... MrsTHT wasn't there to supervise, so I forgot a small sofa that had not been moved to the "staging area", i.e. the foyer. So instead of spending the night in W-S and attending Easter Sunrise service in God's Acre in Old Salem, we drove the truck back to CH Sat night and returned to W-S the next day with the sofa and some other odds & ends.

2697 - Avs leverage their recent success to maintain NHL supremacy, causing a paradigm shift in the Battle of Midway. (I always thought "paradigm" was an overused/misused word; another is "leverage".); 9:39 AM
michael said...: Man. I'm just sick about my PREDS.

How come you moved, THT? I never want to move again, personally.

2698 - moving year; 12:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I could have sworn in the one bad angle replay they showed last night that some Star was standing just offside when the guy with the puck blew by him. I was awfully tired so I didn't bother rewinding it to get a better look. I kept expecting a challenge or Toronto review and the next thing you know they are all shaking hands. It was probably on side, but I'd sure like to know 100%.

Looks like E-Bro is only one of us whose team survived Round 1.

If I can ever retire, we'll move permanently to W-S. Right now it's just a money pit.
When I move, I let MrsTHT do all the work.

2699 - "Stars fell on Nashville" license plates are still selling strong in TX.; 12:56 PM
michael said...: I didn't actually watch the game, but I have no doubt that the refs cheated.

2700 - Y2.7K ruins all the computers; 1:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: speaking of getting hosed. Refs give SJ a 5 minute major for what was at most a 2 minute interference. Vegas just flat fell apart after that call.

2701 - Refs still cheating our teams; 11:49 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wowza that was a great win by the Hurricanes last night. I suspect their tanks may be empty tomorrow night. The are the only one of the 4 teams I pull for that survived the 1st round.

2702 - Despite $1.5 billion in govt grants over the past 300 years, researchers fail to reach a consensus on whether or not there is a link between obesity and a diet of 100% Pringles.; 3:01 PM
michael said...: My HURRICANES are now up 2-0! I am on cloud 9!

2703 - clouds are outlawed; 12:58 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I fear all the injuries will be too big a blow for the HURRICANES to overcome, even if they survive this series.

2704 - President vetoes anti-cloud legislation, and with good reason. A legislative clerk inadvertently typed it as clouds. What Congress intended to outlaw was clowns.; 4:31 PM

2705 - Lando Calrissian has the anti-cloud clerk assassinated.; 3:09 PM

2710 - Blazing a path.; 4:13 PM
THT said...: had to be sociable this evening; it was painful. Upon leaving, I saw a lovely BMW with a NC AU license plate (AU 0938, I think). If I'd seen that before I left, I'd have blurted out a loud WAR EAGLE! to find out who it was. I hope they'll be at the meeting tomorrow.

2711 - NBA enforces traveling; turnovers up and scoring down 30,000%.; 10:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Spring vacation is history. Back to work work work until Fall's vacation season. I have a friend in Houston who has worked half days all his professional life, 7a-7p. He is a solo CPA/Atty. For the first 30 some odd years, he would take one full week of vacation every three years so they'd have enough time for a trip to Europe or wherever. The intervening two years he would take two 1-day vacations for long weekends. At age 70, he's getting soft, now taking two 2 day vacations/year. He plans to work until he is 99.

2712 - Retirement outlawed.; 9:32 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: E-Bro, your Avs just guaranteed an extra day (or two) off for the Bruins. Boo!

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Do you know the way to (beat) San Jose? I suppose the Avs will know in a short while.

Ben Bishop was simply marvelous in a losing effort last night.

2715 - buried deep in the fine print of the molasses outlawing overturning legislature is a clause limiting each distillery to one molass per month. They all convert to bottling Cheerwine and business soars.; 5:12 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, rats. I got home in time for the last 5 minutes to see Martin Jones peppered with a plethora of pucks from the Avs to no avail.

Watched the post-game show and saw the offsides call. NHL (or NBC pulling strings) seems determined to get San Jose through each playoff round.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: NBA? I don't even know what that is anymore. And I have no clue who is in their Finals. If it's the Lakers with Wilt and Jerry, I'm pulling for the Lakers. If it's the Sixers with Bobby Jones, the Doctor, and Moses or Chocolate Thunder, I'm pulling for the Sixers. Of course, I'd be ok with Wes Unseld and the Bullets if neither of the above are available.

2756 - Blues still haven't won a Cup.; 10:28 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: HA! Those Blues are such suckers. They fell for the oldest trick in the book, the patented THT RPT (reverse psychology strategem). I watched every minute of the game. Happy for the Blues. Happier that neither the Bruins, Flyers, or Caps won the Cup.

I had scooped out a huge bowl and then thought, hmmmm, I wonder if we have any Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies in the cabinet here in W-S. SCORE!!!! MrsTHT brought some for me. It took some doing, but I managed to find enough room to squeeze three crumbled up cookies into my mountainous bowl of ice cream. It ate really really good.

27JAGR; 7:15 PM
michael said...: Whose house do they make their vanilla ice cream in? I honestly think that their operation is big enough that it would make more sense to move it's production to a factory of some sort.

2769 - summer of '69; 9:50 AM
bubbs said...: Do the two have to be mutually exclusive, MJT? You're thinking too small.

2776 - somethingcentennial; 10:38 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Speaking of centennials, I like Centennial, WY. Great place to get some ice cream after a hike to Medicine Bow Peak.

This morning on AUFC reminds me of days long past when blogger would crash and we had no news from the outside world.

2781 - revised Lemon Law debuts. Toomers Drugstore reopens. The world is back on its axis.; 6:58 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: In July 2018, bubbs predicted AU would finish 7-5. He was spot on. Shortly thereafter, I predicted the 2149 post would reflect the Iron Bowl score. ua-t got a measly field goal to make it 21-52.

so, bubbs, should I waste any of my time driving 1000 miles on weekends this Fall? As far as this year's Iron Bowl, I got absolutely nothing so far.

2782 - 2020 ban of culturally insensitive hula hoops is revoked.; 7:41 AM

2783 - roasted almonds; 11:08 AM
bubbs said...: You know, I've read and thought so little about the 2019 football team, I have no predictions. At least not yet.

That said, a Cincy tailgate might be worth the 1000 miles. Tell her this year, it will require Blue Bell to get you there. Errbody wins.

2784 - People feel bad about all the almond roasting, and start saying nice things to them.; 8:29 AM

2790 - chili and slaw ride the hot dog coattails.; 8:05 AM

2791 - Warmest year on record, but great for hot dogs.; 10:09 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: You're absolutely right, E-Bro. I need to be more stern. I failed parenting at home and I've failed it again on HABOTN. Maybe I can just audit it next time.

2792 - No longer an anniversary of Columbus's voyage since he is no longer in any history book. It is now the 1300th anniversary of Native Americans revoking all immigration laws and establishing open borders throughout the western hemisphere. I'm sure that went well.; 8:55 AM
michael said...: Well now my feeling are hurt. You guys think I failed so bad at posting that people who chose not to ridicule me are failures themselves. Sad!

2793 - Auburn wins!; 4:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, I promise we won't fail at one thing, and that's at least one more page flip here. Even if it takes the rest of this decade.

2797 - Kevin, Devin, and Blevin are run out of heaven; 1:22 PM
THT said...: something just doesn't make sense with that recently found woman in California who went missing in the wilderness for three days when her husband went prolly no more than 100 yards away to turn the car around. It's a bit fishy, if you ask me.

MrsTHT had an interesting hypothesis, "maybe her husband bought a 200 year old run down house that drained their bank account and she just decided it was time to leave."

2798 - it's a good thing I won't have any surviving heirs in 2798; they'd still be paying for that house.; 4:47 PM
bubbs said...: Is this the house with the picket fence?

2799 - Nothing happened.; 6:00 PM
THT said...: yep

2800 - pre-BOOM; 8:13 PM
michael said...: you know i used to turn pages all the time without saying that magic word. think i'll do it again.; 5:12 PM
bubbs said...: This page smells more like a 200 year old house than a new page.

We'll do with it what we can, but it's been here a while.

THT, you've gotten yourself into an "adventure." I owned a 100 year old house and it was interesting. There were some really cool things about it, but also a lot of things you had to be okay with. Even when you decided to fix or redo a part of it... there's always a something behind the something that you couldn't foresee. Good luck, and give Mrs. THT my condolences!

2802 - Plumbs become the new cash crop.; 8:44 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: you are absolutely right about the "something behind the something that you couldn't foresee". For example, I didn't foresee that I'd never get to retire now. The latest discovery is a yellow jacket nest in the ground in the back yard.

2803 - A "plumb diet" weight loss fad inadvertently leads to an epidemic of lead poisoning.; 11:33 AM
