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.

michael said...: I had an old house the first five years in huntsville. Of course the thing was covered in lead paint. My wife decided all of it had to be removed off the trim in the kids' bedroom, which was a total mess. Just leave all the lead paint alone and done eat hte paint chips and you'll be fine, THT.

2804 - Lead impregnated asbestos clothing is all the rage.; 12:35 PM
michael said...: Replace the word "done" with the word "don't" in that last post. I want to be clear on this: you should not eat lead paint, THT.

2805 - asbestos impregnated lead water pipes are installed everywhere; 12:37 PM
bubbs said...: No need for the correction, MJT. I'm sure he's still trying to figure which chips are "hte" ones he's supposed to eat.

2806 - Surplus of pipes created when all the impregnated ones complete their gestation period.; 2:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm convinced exterior paints are worthless without lead. They just don't last at all. As a toddler I stood in my crib next to the window and gnawed the paint off the window frame. Obviously there were no deleterious effects. I'm perfectly normal.

2807 - despondent over being subjected to incessant name-calling, karma undergoes a sex change operation.; 8:25 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: PAC-12 thinking of having 9 a.m. kickoffs. That should make for some sleepy tailgating.

2808 - SEC gets the jump on PAC 12 with 6 a.m. kickoffs; 9:38 AM
E-Bro said...: Yeah, but leaves more time to enjoy all that the West Coast has to offer after the game.

2809 - PAC 12 counters with games in the astral plane where time does not exist.; 10:19 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: the astral plane? is that like one of those 737 maxes? I don't think there's enough room in the overhead compartments for punts.

2810 - AU has dominated ua-t so thoroughly and completely over the past 700 years that no one even realizes it's the 800th anniversary year of the Camback.; 9:42 AM
michael said...: astral weeks is an overrated album. There, I said it.

2811 - Moondance, on the other hand, is a straight up masterpiece.; 2:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: astral weeks is an overrated album. Wow, that was easy. Why did it give you so much trouble?

2812 - BEASLEY!!!... planning committee convenes; 9:00 PM
E-Bro said...: I like both Moondance and Astral Weeks quite a lot. There, I said it.

There was a really good article on Astral Weeks on The Ringer last fall. Worth a read.

2813 - Slim Slow Slider melts me again.; 10:07 AM
michael said...: Yeah I read article and then I said hey, I'll go back and listen to it again and see if I missed something when I first bought the compact disc 18 years ago, and no, not really.

2814 - venturing into the slipstream; 11:58 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I like both Mitch Miller and Glenn Miller quite a lot. There, I said it.

2815 - highest concentration of vitamins is discovered in a vegetable hybrid from squash and rutabaga, the squatabaga.; 7:33 PM

BEASLEY!!!BEASLEY!!!; 7:35 PM
E-Bro said...: So, you don't like Astral Weeks really at all, MJT, or just think it's overrated?

I think it's slightly overrated myself in that it wasn't some transcendent listening experience that it was cracked up to be, but still really like it nonetheless and may also prefer it to Moondance.

But, hey man, each his own. That's cool.

2817 - Could you find me?; 10:10 AM
michael said...: I bought Astral Weeks when I was on a kick of buying "Best of Genre" type albums as deemed so by AllMusic. Most of those albums lived up to their billing, but Astral Weeks didn't for me. Was just a solid album. It was a little too sleepy and repetitive for me (and as a guy who absolutely adores Nick Drake, this is saying something for me). Some of the songs sound too similar to each other for me. The title track is great though.

So no, I don't necessarily dislike the album. I just don't ever feel like listening through the whole thing, which is a must for me to consider it a transcendent album. If one of the songs comes up during shuffle, I'll enjoy it though.

I got it at the same time I got Moondance, and Moondance just works so much better as an album for me. It has a couple of tracks with an Astral Weeks vibe, but it flows so much better because of the dynamics of the album.

2818 - and it stoned me to my soul; 2:30 PM
E-Bro said...: That's cool. If I'm listening to the songs on shuffle, it does take me a second to realize if I'm listening to "Madame George" or "Cyprus Avenue", but then I decide I like them so much that I don't care.

That said, it's funny that if I am listening to the iPod on shuffle and the songs come on separately, I find they don't appeal to me as much, or that I'd rather be listening to the whole album and not just a song here and there.

Have never really warmed to "The Way Young Lovers Do", though, and, weirdly, it's for the opposite reason that you don't love the album. It feels too distinct and thus out of place to the rest of the album, at least musically.

2819 - Everyone wonders, "But what about Tupelo Honey?"; 10:18 AM
michael said...: Hey THT, after hearing both sides, who do you think is right about Astral Weeks?

2820 - brown eyed Earl; 5:31 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 2821 - Blasphemy against Van Morrison is outlawed; 9:06 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I guess the intent of my post survived, even if the text did not.
I forgot the silly "<" and ">" are html tags, so y'all did not see my
{yawn}

I have a pseudosister whose married name is Weeks; I wonder if her husband is related to Astral.

If I put the wheels in motion, I reach the conclusion that I love me some small doses of Van Morrison. There are a couple of songs on each album I like, but I think, at my age, I couldn't remain conscious through either entire album. Gotta throw some good rockin' music in there to keep me conscious.

2822 - Moon Weeks double album goes triple platinum; 9:24 AM
michael said...: Ebro is trending on twitter. Hope he's OK.

2823 - drought!; 12:13 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: bubbs is just 10 posts from overtaking SteveFC for seventh place in all-time post count on AUFC. If he keeps himself as scarce there as here, he may never achieve that great historic milestone.

2824 - bubbs post drought!; 7:52 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: correction, 910 posts from overtaking SteveFC. First I dangle a target and then I remove all hope. Sorry about that, bubbs. I need to clean my glasses.

2825 - Auburn celebrates it's third Martavious Houston Day. Historical records are not clear on the dates of the first two.; 8:00 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: gosh, Im awful this morning. I misplaced the apostrophe in the prior post.

2826 - Diet Coke drought!; 8:02 AM
E-Bro said...: I'm ok.

2827 - Droughtiest year on record.; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: That's great news, E-Bro. Trending can be hazardous.

2828 looks in the rearview mirror and yells at 2827, EAT MY DUST!; 10:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: More than 2 weeks ago, someone in hospital in Oxford, NC, opened an email and clicked on "invoice" attachment. Their entire computer system was infected and crashed. No medical records can be viewed, no dictation system available, a complete disaster. If you Google you won't find a single mention of it in any news. If you go to their local newspaper web site, you won't find it mentioned at all. There seems to be very little progress made thus far towards a cure.

2829 - Hospital in Oxford finally reopens using all paper records and no computers.; 1:48 PM
michael said...: Yet another reason I don't allow the majority of Eurasia to use computers.

2830 - Someone at oxford opens a letter with "invoice" written on the outside. Immediately all the paper records are destroyed.; 1:51 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Still a disaster at the hospital in Oxford. Why is it taking so long? Because they never called the Nerd Herd at the Buy More. They'd have fixed it in no time at all.

2831 - flea shortage; 9:45 PM
michael said...: Jeffster would have definitely fixed it by now (or is it buy now?)

2832 - fleas get taller; 5:46 PM
THT said...: one tiny bit of progress today, the first I've seen. Baby steps.

2833 - tall fleas smitten by anabolic hemorrhoids.; 7:35 PM
E-Bro said...: Jeffster! Takes me back!

2834 - And how!; 10:10 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: So won't you take me, oh take me back
Won't you take me, oh take me back

2835 - You can’t sing about whiskey and alligators forever.; 1:30 PM
michael said...: anyone playing football this weekend? if only someone had been doing some kind of countdown.; 4:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Can't wait til H! and that epic East vs West battle between Pikeville and Murray State @ 6pm CDT on ESPN+

2837 - Kiribatis from South Tarawa, sailing to North Tarawa to quell a separatist uprising, get blown off course and mistakenly invade Wake Island. Thus begins a new chapter in the Battle of Midway.; 9:41 AM
bubbs said...: It isn't football season yet. Is it football season yet? It isn't football season.

Did they ever heal their computers from the virus at that hospital, THT? You'd think a hospital would be better at this.

2838 - AI used to create paper clips takes over the state of Ohio.; 4:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Hey bubbs! They are getting things back on line. In my post-24 hr Buy More sale stupor tomorrow, I have dentist, then IT appointment to get my home PC reconnected to the Oxford Buy More, then haircut, then trip to W-S to get that PC reconnected to the Oxford Buy More. I'm supposed to manage Oxford Buy More inventory from home this weekend, so I sure hope we can get everything reconnected and working.

2839 - AU commemorates the 900th anniversary of the Original THT's AU graduation.; 6:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: after 31 days, Oxford Buy More is back on line!

Jackrabbits turnovers were the difference last night. Gophers would not have won without those gifts.

michael, campfire was sizzling even without you there. Everyone, I mean EVERYone else was there not also.

2840 - WD40 shortage; 7:17 AM
michael said...: THT, you left too early. Ebro and I showed up later and is was SUPER crazy.

2841 - The HABOTN Campfire is still on chatroll. Nothing but silence.; 1:16 PM
michael said...: Hard to see how we lose the game this weekend. My prediction:

Auburn - 36
Oregon - 17

2842 - still silent; 1:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wow, I did miss a virtual inferno of chatter at the Campfire. Gonna spend a lot of time watching football tomorrow. MrsTHT and two of our Chapel Hill neighbors are having a birthday lunch in Asheville but MrsTHT will be back to W-S in time for the game.

2843 - HABOTN Campfire spreads to adjacent Chatrolls.; 9:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: PAC-12 sucks! Neener neener neener.

2844 - a delightfully even year.; 8:33 AM
michael said...: I saw Boobee made an apology on instagram for talking trash about the PAC-12. Will you also be soon making an apology, THT?

2845 - odd; 4:36 PM
THT said...: I have an apology scheduled for post 5001.

2846 - Hogan's Heroes vs Kelly's Heroes on Family Feud; 9:33 PM
michael said...: Hey THT, are we gonna beat Tulane this Saturday?

2847 - Peter Gabriel's Heroes vs The Wallflowers' Heroes on Family Double Dare; 11:45 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: so MrsTHT met a Salem neighbor at a neighborhood gathering on Monday while I was laboring. He apparently looks much older than his age which is probably only about 2 or 3 yrs older than MrsTHT and me. MrsTHT said, "If we look that old in four years I'll just kick you right now."

She apparently is not bound by my simple concept of time.

2848 - I land here after she goes back in time and kicks me.; 12:28 PM
michael said...: So what's the secret to the THTs' youthful appearances?

And if you have time to answer, maybe ask her about the secret of time travel.

2849 - THT, a man out of time, is crowned King of Eurasiamerica; 2:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: The secret is to feel old and look young. It's more vain than the alternative.

2850 - THT abdicates and disappears into the past, never to be heard from again.; 12:19 PM
michael said...: THT, I apologize profusely for missing the campfire last night. Kids had practices, and we had family in town visiting.

2851 - time vortex!!!!! THT, what have you done!?!?!; 1:36 PM
THT said...: the stats from Saturday, at least as far as total yards, look a lot better than the reality on the field. One of the sour stats was Tulane's 4.0 yd per rush attempt compared to AU's 3.8. I'm surprised Tulane threw more times than they ran; running is their strength. Our strength seems to be winning without playing well on offense. It wasn't that many seasons ago we had a strong defense and an awful offense and towards the end of the season the defense was wore out and the wheels came off. I hope this isn't deja vu all over again.

2852 - warmest year on record; even warmer than September 2019.; 4:36 PM
bubbs said...: I don't like TAM's team. Our D is good enough to rattle Mond. I suspect that game will be ugly, but winnable.

I don't know what FL is yet.

Lose either of those games and I think LSU breaks our back. If we roll into Baton Rouge at 7-0, there's a slight chance bizarre things happen and we win.

This is my best attempt at sunshine pumping.; 9:36 AM
michael said...: Natty is in the bag!

2854 - the world wakes up on Jan 1 to realize everyone slept through 2852. Everyone that is except for one person: Jason Busby of Piedmont, Ohio. What did Jason do all of last year? Was he responsible? Did he misbehave? The investigation begins!; 10:02 AM
THT said...: There are no mountains in Ohio. The community should be called Piedcoteau.

bubbs, I don't think that what you're vaping is legal in Alabama ;-) You know as well as I do that LSU is just gonna stomp us this year.

I believe michael's post was referring to LSU.

2855 - Doubled-die penny is a hit amongst numismatists.; 11:56 AM
michael said...: Maybe LSU really is that good on offense, if you assume the Texas defense is all of a sudden awesome. We'll see.

2856 - Jason Busby put on death row. Piedmont, Ohio officially changes name to Piedcoteau, Ohio after an internet historian unearths compelling arguments for such a change.; 12:47 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LSU's offense may not be super duper extra special awesome, but it will be plenty good enough since the game will also feature our anemic offense.

2857 - Jason Busby saves the life of Captain Nemo and never rows again.; 12:21 PM
michael said...: Well LSU's defense stinks to high heaven, so that's how we'll kill them then.

2858 - Plate tectonics cause a large mountain to rise in Piedcoteau, Ohio. Inconsolable residents weep bitterly over changing the name 2 years back. they look for a scapegoat. One name keeps coming up again and again: Jason Busby.; 1:35 PM
E-Bro said...: I'm not ready to say our offense is bad. A work in progress, sure, but not bad, which isn't terribly far outside the norm of other Malzahn offenses over the years that turned out being great.

I don't necessarily expect THIS offense to be great this year, but with the defense, being good might win us a lot of games.

2859 - What about Jason Busby?; 10:09 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LB makes awesome chocolate chip cookies, from the same scratch that MrsTHT and 2.0 use. His cookies are a huge hit at work.

2860 - University of Akrent State forms as a result of the merging suburban sprawl of the campuses in Akron and Kent, OH. Jason Busby in named chancellor.; 11:11 AM
michael said...: The mjt family recipe for chocolate chip cookies is always a big hit. Don't tell anyone, but it's just the recipe that used to be on the Gold Medal flour bag.

We've been meaning to make cookies for our across the street neighbors to welcome them to the neighborhood. I think they moved there in March, and we still haven't met them. At what point are "Welcome Cookies" too late?

2861 - Jason Busby is almost fired from his job as chancellor... until his "Apology Cookies" make him the most popular guy in the entire Akrentmont region.; 3:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Why do I keep expecting the wheels to fall off? It's probably bubbs's fault for guaranteeing we'd finish 7-5.

2862 - Mr. Busby rebrands U of Akrent State as THE Akrent State University. He is honored when the band chooses him to cross the t at their next football game... provided he brings them all some Apology Cookies.; 8:31 AM
michael said...: THT, I keep trying to tell you the natty is in the bag. No worries!

2863 - Charlton Heston VII is screaming for all to hear, "It's people! Apology Cookies are made out of people! You've to to tell them! Tell everybody! APOLOGY COOKIES ARE PEOPLE!!!"; 1:49 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I think there are nothing but gnats in that bag.

I wonder if I can make time to stop by the Oval Office on our White House visit in a few weeks. Anything y'all want me to tell the Tweeter in Chief?

2864 - 4th anniversary of Chancellor Jason Busby's reign celebrated by a temporary truce in the Battle of Midway.; 3:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I took an overdose of dachshunds last night and was unconscious by the start of 3rd qtr. Looks like I missed a fantastic finish. Tulane's win will help Auburn, at least until our wheels fall off and we're beyond help.

Upon leaving prison, I'll be driving to Baltimore tonight for a Saturday late afternoon wedding (i.e. wedding will prevent me from watching AU) of people I don't even know. Then I'll get to visit Sunday afternoon with people in D.C. who I don't hardly know, before driving home Sunday night in time to start a Monday double shift at the Buy more. I wish I could trade places with one of the inmates this weekend.

2865 - first dachshund president of the USA; 7:59 AM
michael said...: The end of the game was super cool!

How far of a drive is Baltimore for you? Are you guys pretty close?

Usually when I attend a wedding and miss an Auburn game, Auburn loses. What's your track record with it?

2866 - for the first time in US history, a President quits his job to go live on a farm and have lots more room to run. This surprises everyone, because the president had been in such poor health, but they are happy for him.; 2:10 PM
THT said...: it was 5.5 hours not including stops. We've been married 38 years so yeah, we're pretty close.

I have never been to a wedding during an Auburn football game. Usually, when I choose to miss the AU game for some other event, AU gets stomped. However, this wedding was obviously not my choice.

2867 - Global deworming; 11:24 PM
michael said...: "We've been married 38 years so yeah, we're pretty close."

That got a laugh out loud out of me.

Turns out your wedding attendance is not bad luck after all. I suggest attending more weddings during Auburn games.

2868 - The world is distracted by the newest craze: fetching! Jason Busby takes advantage of their distraction and does Jason Busby things.; 10:16 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: " I suggest attending more weddings during Auburn games."

Pleeeeeeeze don't make me do that. Not only do I not care to attend weddings, funerals, or other social events, best I could tell, this wedding was a gathering of atheists. Most of them are a lot nicer people than me, so it's a shame that they are lost. There was no mention of God or any other deity at any time prior to, during, or following the wedding. The wedding music, provided by a flutist, violinist, and cellist, was from the Beatles and various other pop sources. Instead of a scripture reading during the ceremony, the groom's uncle read some 2015 Supreme Court justice's comments on marriage, followed by applause from many of the attendees. I think I was checking my Sports Alerts app at the time, so I'm not sure exactly what all he said.

2869 - Granitestock music festival at a quarry in upstate NY. Jason Busby serves as MoC.; 3:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I won't be at a wedding, but I will be stuck at a reception and dinner in some old lady's home in D.C. during the Florida game.

2870 - 851st anniversary of the time AU's crushing defense limited MissStake to 8 first downs and 3 points.; 10:05 AM
michael said...: Just bet my whole retirement fund on Auburn beating Florida. Gonna make some $$$$ in a couple of weeks! Thanks for the tip about you missing the game, THT.

2871 - Jason Busby's multi-year plan to destroy his enemy comes to fruition: he buries them under a pile of rubble by collapsing the walls during Granitestock.; 10:38 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: A hole in the corner of the end zone would have been so much simpler. Busby's just an attention hog.

I think AU is gonna win. Otherwise, my lucky streak in pick'em may be coming to an end. I don't know what games we'll have this week, but looking at the overall schedule, I realize I don't have a clue on almost all of them.

2872 - Busby wins the pick'em contest. To make his picks, he put two planaria in a domed petri dish and dot each one with opposing team's colors. Two Turbellaria enter the petri dish, only one leaves. Busby does that for each of his 10 picks and gets all of them right. No one notices since they are all attending the 900th Anniversary Punt Bama Punt reenactment.; 10:55 AM
E-Bro said...: Well, MJT, come on in with me to the "work till you die" pool. The water is fine!

2873 - Huh?; 10:04 AM
THT said...: This pool is getting crowded. I may have to go jump in the "keep working when you're dead" pool.

2874 - 2000th anniversary of the Vikings moon landing.; 2:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Auburn Ticket Office is currently renegotiating their agreement with Buy More for the big 24 hour midseason sale we're having tomorrow. The original agreement one week ago allowed an entry for each purchase into the raffle for two Iron Bowl tickets. The new agreement provides two free tickets to a remaining 2019 AU football game with every Buy More purchase. Each customer will be required to take four tickets if they don't make a purchase.

2875 - Unicycle football league folds.; 12:23 PM
michael said...: I was told there would not be math on this quiz.

2876 - 1100 years since Thomas Jefferson signed an online petition or something.; 2:32 PM
michael said...: THT, I think your Buy More talk may one day drive API insane.

2877 - in a world of insanity, who can right the ship?; 11:20 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LOL, you may be right. Maybe I should DM him and tell him I work undercover for the FBI or CIA and can't put that out there on the internet and that my 24 hr "Buy More sales" are really just overnight stakeouts.

2878 - for the first since the heinous Edict of Lepidoptera in the 23rd Century, butterflies are free to fly.; 10:39 AM
michael said...: Hey THT and sometimes bubbs and occasionally Ebro, how's it goin?

2279 - Butterflies, unaware of all the scandals of the last few years, elect Jason Busby as their comptroller; 4:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: HEY michael! and whoever else rarely ever shows up. It's going just peachy. Raining today for the first time since gutters installed in W-S. Unfortunately, I'm not there to see how they are working.

2280 - Busby grounds all butterflies.; 9:28 AM
michael said...: It's raining here too. My parched ground definitely needed it.

Trying to decide if I'll take part in the neighborhood garage sale this Saturday. I think I've decided if my wife will do all the work, then we'll do it.

2281 - Rainy year; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Outstanding decision! I wish we had the courage to do a garage sale. We've just accumulated and accumlated and accumulated and never seem to get rid of stuff. Inertia rules. Depending how much your wife enjoys y'all's, perhaps she could come do ours, too!

2822 - sea level rises 3 feet, but only in the Pacific Ocean.; 11:37 AM
michael said...: So I messed up the numbers a few posts ago, and I didn’t even realize we are in the decade of 2BEASLEY!!!!!!x. I’m so sorry.

2BEASLEY!!!!3 - Terry Beasley XIII wins they heisman.; 8:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm dyslexic. What's your excuse?

2BEASLEY!!!4 - one year after becoming the first high school senior to ever win college football's Heisman Trophy, Terry Beasley XIII wins the Heisman again.; 10:54 AM
E-Bro said...: Things are good. Best month of the year, though could we perhaps gradually get to fall weather instead of going straight there from summer? Been a bit nippy the last couple of evenings/mornings.

2BEASLEY!!!!5 - Warmest year on record.; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I got a better idea. Get to Fall weather gradually from Spring and just skip summer all together.

2BEASLEY!!!6 - thanks to E-Bro's climate forecasts over the past several centuries, Carnival cruise ships now depart from the Port of Selma at the head of Mobile Bay.; 10:03 AM
michael said...: We ended up doing the yard sale. My wife did 90% of the work to prep for it, but then i had to wake up and run the whole thing. Made some money and cleared out lots of space, so win-win.

Dude tried to offer me $5 for the pack n play I had on sale for $10, and I was like nah, I ain't coming down. He paid me $10 for it. I feel like Rick Harrison behind this keyboard.

2BEASLEY!!!!7 - Where'd all the fish go?; 10:18 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: congrats, michael! I'd be willing to share 88% of proceeds if your wife will do 90% of the work to prep for ours.

2jerrybeasleyTERRYBEASLEY!!!; 2:45 PM
michael said...: We'll make sure to do the yard sale before we move in with yall. I imagine we'll need to make some room.

2BEASLEY!!!!!9 - The end of an era.; 2:49 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Well, most all the accumulated stuff is in a storage room over the garage or in the unfinished side of the basement, or in another storage room. The guest bedroom is uncluttered and I hope your kids won't mind being tossed in the basement with the foosball and ping pong tables. So come on, move in, and GET TO WORK!

2890 - the world still hasn't heard from michael since he entered the storage room so many many years ago.; 2:21 PM
THT said...: I forgot to yell "NEENER NEENER NEENER" when I drove past Duke on the way home.
Shhhh... don't tell the others.

2891 - The annual Gus Malzahn QB Development Trophy is awarded to Coach Kati Burns.; 7:08 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I guess the AU fanbase has become numb to all of Gus's shenanigans. There hasn't been a single post on here about how his skyrocketing QB Transfer Portal rate.

2892 - Tom Brady retires.; 2:34 PM
michael said...: More like Joey Gonewood.

2893 - natty is in the bag.; 5:56 PM
THT said...: I guess it's a good thing I couldn't assign one confidence point to each of my ten picks this week; otherwise I would max out at 10 points. Just random picking should get me a better score. But I really don't feel 10 points worth of confidence on any of those games.

2894 - Millenial celebration of AU's 94-0 beatdown of GTech.; 11:06 AM
michael said...: I am putting 10 confidence points on Auburn shocking the world and winning the natty!; 11:40 AM
THT said...: playing with house points doesn't count.

2896 - scientists conclude that jellyfish no longer have a role in the ecosystem; 7:57 PM
E-Bro said...: Hey, MJT, are you enjoying being able to drive over the mountain on Cecil Ashburn now? I took my drive over it this past weekend on my way to the Noog. Was good to see Hampton Cove again.

Plus, they've opened up a Popeye's in Gurley, so drives back to the Noog have become much tastier.

2897 - Roadwork on Cecil Ashburn is complete.; 10:04 AM
THT said...: Don't hurt Cecil's back.

2898 - Roadwork on I-85 begins its 900th year.; 7:46 PM
michael said...: Yes, i have driven it a few times now and I'm very happy it's back. For the wife and kids in particular, it has cut off quite a bit of time from their commute to their homeschool group.

The super high cliffs on the unopen side that still appear to be crumbling make me a little nervous, though. Someone gonna get crushed by one of them there boulders.

2899 - Still no hover cars.; 1:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: back from vermont and getting ready for a trip to The Plains this weekend, as ordered by MrsTHT. I'm not a big fan of driving 1,000 miles to watch AU lose.

2900 - Michael finally gets his hover car. At the 10 sec mark, you can see him trying to find his way out of his cul de sac on the way to work. At the 1:04 mark, you can see him scurry across Lake Guntersville.; 8:46 AM
michael said...: UGA game is in the bag, THT. No worries!

2901 - You wouldn't believe how loud my hover car is when I'm sitting in it. I've gone completely deaf.; 9:51 AM
THT said...: I'm not worried. More like depressed. I wish I felt great about this GA game. Like in 1983, or 2004, or 1971. Oh well.

2902 - michael never hovers without his cochlear implant.; 12:57 PM
michael said...: Have you been depressed every other year Auburn has played UGA outside of those three? You've gotta be used to it by now.

2903 - Robots!; 1:55 PM
THT said...: There have been a lot of years where I had no feeling one way or the other on whether Auburn would win. Even those three years mentioned above, I wasn't certain, just confident. There have only been 3 110% "it's in the bag" wins, and UGA wasn't one.
1972 vs TN (AU was 14 point underdog to #4 TN)
1972 vs ua-t (AU was 16 point underdog to #2 uat)
2010 vs ua-t

where's that painter? I missed out on lunch and I'm ready for some dinner.

2904 - Auburn is still undefeated and ua-t is still winless against Carlisle.; 3:18 PM
michael said...: I'm disappointed you didn't show up to the campfire last night, THT. During UGA week, too!

2905 - I got a feeling about the UGA game this year.; 12:11 PM
THT said...: I've been out of town a whole bunch the past two weeks. Still have travels to Marion, SC, and to Auburn, AL (plus Winston-Salem, of course) before the end of the month.
SO GET OFF MY BACK!

2906 - Fans ignore the UGA game on the field and turn their attention to Battle of Midway updates on the IMAX stadium roof.; 7:21 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: when everyone abandons AUFC, will we keep it moving along like we have Hv1.0?

2907 - debut of Hv88.0; 1:17 PM
michael said...: Figure we will. Don't forget we are the only ones on earth who still use chatroll.

2908 - debut of a new dance craze; 1:51 PM
THT said...: Does chatroll keep paying for a web site just for us? How noble of them!

2909 - Yogesh Patel's stirring Keloid Kathak propels him to victory in Dancing with the Scars.; 9:24 PM
E-Bro said...: Life finds a way, THT.

2910 - Ian Malcolm's corpse shutters slightly.; 10:06 AM
THT said...: I guess that's how Life and Gus differ.

2911 - A tiring year for 911 operators; 10:29 PM
michael said...: THT, I am so sorry for missing the campfire last night. I'd boo me.

2912 - They boo me; 10:49 AM
THT said...: That's ok. I'm gonna campfire tonight while watching Penguins hockey and then Wyoming football. Go Pokes!

2913 - all the booers are executed. Such is the way of life in Eurasia.; 6:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: What a campfire Friday night! I'll be on the road and likely unable to campfire for the Egg Bowl :(

2914 - The recent sudden depopulation of Eurasia has led to a food surplus. michael makes a fortune selling it at inflated prices to starving continents. The King of Eurasia is so shrewd!; 1:58 PM
michael said...: Probably won't be hitting the campfire too hard on Thursday. Always eat too much pie that day.

2915 - Eurasia doesn't share pie. Gets attacked by the non-Eurasian countries who want pie. WHAT DO WE DO?!?!; 2:46 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: We'll be driving to Marion SC on Thursday morning, have lunch with MrsTHT's elderly aunt and worthless cousins, then drive about 4 hours in the general direction of Auburn before crashing for the night, figuratively speaking, I hope.

2916 - General/ King of Eurasia's brilliant plan works to perfection. He declares a truce and tells non-Eurasian combatants that they can have all the pie they want from his frozen pie repository in Antartica. Once they get there, all they find is a large ice covered sign that reads, "3.14159". Their departure from Antarctica is blocked by the King's notoriously vicious Killer Whale regiment.; 5:09 PM
THT said...: Being somewhat sickly is not the ideal start to this holiday weekend. Neither is being awake at this hour. Oh well.

2917 - Irish pie famine; 2:09 AM
michael said...: That was a pretty good Iron Bowl, huh?

2918 - Spanish flu; 11:39 AM
THT said...: Well, it was very stressful, if that's what you mean. Still sick as a goat, but a happy sick goat. I tried to keep my distance from the Cincy clan. If they get sick, I'll blame it on Mr Cincy's bammer sister.

2919 - Two years too late, THT realizes he missed the millennial celebration of the birth of The Original Tar Heel Tiger. I hang my head in shame.; 6:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Is there any truth to the rumor that Malzahn's agent is leveraging the highly coveted BC Head Coaching gig into a doubling of Malzahn's AU salary and buyout?

2920 - Harbaugh still hasn't beaten Michigan.; 9:14 AM
michael said...: The BC coaching situation is a really complicated one that needs to be discussed much more in depth. What is the cost of upward mobility? Should we be angry at a man for trying to reach higher heights? Is it wise to handcuff your employees, keeping them from looking for greener pastures? Perhaps it would make sense if your pasture is arguably already the greenest, but what kind of employee would you attract if the employee must pretend they are at the pinnacle of their field, when it all actuality they are not? So many ins and outs to this situation.

2921 - Got a feelin' '21 is gonna be a good year - Pete Townshend; 11:19 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: all this talk of green pastures; you obviously are hoping Gus will retire.

boy did I botch 2920. Of course Harbaugh beat Michigan in every Spring game.

2922 - the first lunar Iron Bowl; 2:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: no bubbs sighting for almost 3 months. I think he's completely given up hope on the RoF.

2923 - Archeologists discover the hidden meeting room of the RoF in the underground HABOTN Temple. They are puzzled by graffiti that says "bubbs was here".; 4:42 PM
michael said...: Maybe Jay G accidentally turned on the non-RoF blocker again?

2924 - archeologists discover ancient archeologists; 5:08 PM
michael said...: Hey THT, read any good books lately?

2925 - where have all the cowboys gone?; 1:41 PM
michael said...: Speaking of good books, my 8 year old asked for a lot of Mad Libs for Christmas.

2926 - Artificial Intelligence drafts a new constitution based on discarded mad libs; 1:48 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I can't read. I picked up a book recently, The Great Philadelphia Wagon Road in Forsyth County, N.C., 1750-1770. Unfortunately, it didn't have any illustrations other than a really cool map on the inside front cover. So, after looking at that map, I put the book down.

2927 - Cowboys 24 hrs/day on The Hallmark Channel; 6:56 AM
michael said...: Great campfire last night!

2928 - A new post is created on HABOTN 1.0; 5:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: oh lordy, I hope we can average more than 2.28 posts/year for the next 908 years.

FELIPEALOUFELIPEALOU; 11:53 AM
THT said...: I hope everyone here enjoyed their 4th of July weekend.

2930 - change in earth's orbit necessitates a return to the Julian calendar.; 4:38 PM
E-Bro said...: Happy President's Day!

2931 - Only eleven days until Christmas!; 10:08 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Yikes, I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet.

2932 - Valentine's Day is canceled after Hallmark goes bankrupt.; 11:40 AM
michael said...: How about them Auburn Tigers!?

2933 - well, how about them?!; 10:29 AM
michael said...: HOW ABOUT THEM/!?!?!!?

2934 - HOW BOUT EM; 12:49 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: They ain't too shabby.

2935 - Kentucky Indiana Auburn Duke Kansas and UNC are voted the top six Power 5 schools where basketball has historically been the most important sport for almost a thousand years.; 6:19 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Looks like we're back to being a football school. I'm glad I didn't watch it last night. I was too busy with Buy More work schedules.

2936 - post count finally reaches 2938; 11:15 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Feng really loves his privacy. Look how he strategically hides his head behind that giant column

They better not let any more of that SARSish stuff into Japan. MrsTHT and I are headed there next month.; 9:19 PM
michael said...: The year 2936 is nothing like I expected. Still no hover cars!

2938 - The SARs like sickness turns out to be embedded hotdog particles.; 8:43 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: That got a good laugh from me. Where's that LOL button on this thing. Poor ol' Feng; he'll never fully recover from the near fatal hot dog attack.

2939 - Even Feng's descendants can't catch a break. Feng's Great x a lot grandfather exposed as a fraud when his hover car invention turns out to be nothing more than a helicopter with cloaked rotary wings.; 1:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Which football player would make a good hover car? I'd have to say Gale Sayers. He always seemed to be gliding along like an air hockey puck on the football field. Until that one time he actually put his foot on the ground and got his knee blown up.

2940 - Mongolian separatist movement crushed by the King of Eurasia. The Monguls didn't realize he was their king. They only knew him as the Emperor of Dance and mistakenly believed he had no authority over them since they don't dance. In a twist of irony, the loyal Monguls in hiding celebrated with a huge street dance in the middle of Mongolia's only street.; 7:29 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: After Feng's hover car crash last weekend, it may be centuries before we see another attempt.

2941 - Given its demographic shift over the past millenium, Hawaii adopts Japanese as its official language.; 12:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ad;jlfkasas;kldsaswegrejwpiojtqw[er

those are my feelings about going to 2019-nCoV-infested Asia in 12 days

2942 - A little late to do any good, but researchers finally determine that TDS was caused by a prion.; 1:19 PM
michael said...: Coronavirus ain't that bad. I've had it twice, and i'm fine.

2943 - are man gets coronavirus a record breaking 231st time.; 1:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Feng has offered to meet me in Japan. He's going to bring his mom's famous bat soup. She hits a home run with that soup every time. In exchange, I'm going to take Feng some giant hot dogs that are so big they won't fit in anyone's airway.

2944 - tulips are poplar again; 9:59 PM
michael said...: I'm tired.

2945 - poplars are oak hay; 12:06 PM
michael said...: you know what's annoying? They cancel everything around here for a thunderstorm. You can play basketball during a thunderstorm, you know.

2946 - everything is cancelled due to thunderstorms; 3:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: nothing but sissies running things these days; it's a shame.

2947 - King of Eurasia makes thunderstorms illegal; 1:05 AM
michael said...: Been coughing for a month. I've had enough of this.

2948 - MJT virus kills it's 10 billionth victim.; 1:23 PM
E-Bro said...: Been to China recently? Not too far from Eurasia as I recall.

2949 - Warmest year on record, but nobody left on Earth, so who cares.; 10:10 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: We were near Eurasia. One of the funniest things we saw were all the non-Eurasian inhabitants lined up on the beach and turning their bare derrieres across the Sea of Japan towards Eurasia. They apparently think they are untouchable. I didn't have the heart to tell them otherwise. Please go easy on them, King.

2950 - coldest year since 2949.; 2:01 PM
michael said...: My earthquakeologists tell me japan will be in the ocean soon enough, so I don't pay much attention to them.

2951 - Japan still not in the ocean... but California has wandered about halfway to Hawaii.; 2:33 PM
michael said...: jksajlksdjklsdkjlsfdjklsf

2952 - yeeaaaahhhhh; 2:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ...California has wandered about halfway to Hawaii.

That's not near far enough. It would be great if it could drift into a wormhole to the Delta Quadrant.

2952 - frozen beverages... all of them. Brrrr it's cold.; 3:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i can't keep up with the count.

Sometime in the 30th Century - it stops raining in Auburn; 1:01 PM
michael said...: Finally got a good night of sleep last night. It'd been more than a month. Was starting to wonder if one of those incompetent Buy More - Huntsville employees had missed something on my CT scan.

2955 - counting is outlawed; 5:45 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Buy Mores everywhere can't seem to find good help these days.

I had two good nights sleep in 1995. I still cherish that memory. It was truly amazing.

2956 - A colony of Great Auks makes their home in Big Spring Park, frightening all the locals.; 12:17 PM
michael said...: I just saw on the news that there are 300 coronavirus test kids in North Carolina. Is that enough, THT?

2957 - Covid-98 kills all the Great Auks yet again. Back to the drawing board for the EACA (Extinct Animal Cloning Agency).; 12:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I don't know how y'all handle deadly pathogens in Huntsville, but up here in NC we test them on kids only as a last resort.

I suspect within the next month or so, we'll need a test kit to find the few who don't have the coronavirus.

2958 - in a vengeful and ironic rage, PETA launches a campaign to eradicate COVID-98 from the entire solar system; 5:59 PM
michael said...: Normally we don't test kids, but I read an article that said coronavirus isn't very hard on them.

2959 - the kids rebel, sick of being used as coronavirus test subjects. Kids are terrible at fighting, so they lose. PETK is formed but is not very effective.; 1:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm glad we went to Japan last month before it became such a "danger zone". I just looked at airfares and they've actually gone up as they typically do in Spring which surprised me.

2960 - After eight+ centuries of recovering, the DJIA finally creeps above zero.; 1:55 PM
michael said...: I hope the HABOTN 1.0 servers don't crash with all the extra traffic due to people being home because of coronavirus.

2961 - people can't get enough trail mix! it's everywhere!; 10:13 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: The thought of HABOTN 1.0 server crashing sounds apocalyptic. It reminds me of that song by R.E.M, you know which one I'm talking about... yes, of course! What's the frequency Kenneth. And, btw, I would not feel fine if that happened.

2962 - just one taste and people have had enough of entrail mix; 5:48 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: this virus curve ain't near flat enough for my liking. We need to steamroll it.

2963 - first spring football games in over 900 years; 8:41 PM
michael said...: I think we should invert the curve. Infect the coronavirus with humans!

2964 - warmest spring on record; 10:59 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: it shouldn't last much longer. Chuck Norris is on this.

I miss winter.

2965 - 1,000 years later, the Braves return to Milwaukee and immediately start brawling with the Brewers; 12:09 PM
michael said...: You still successfully dodging the covid, THT?

Haven't heard much talk about it spreading through Huntsville.

2966 - they finally make enough coronavirus test kits.; 4:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: so far, so good. Here's to your health and mine. We can't leave this in the hands of Feng.

2967 - two great numbers. Alouuuuuuuuu! and the Greatest Middle Linebacker to ever play the game AND actually win championships, not to mention a super nice guy whose name I still may not be able to spell... R...A...Y! .; 2:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 80s and bugs, lots of bugs, in the forecast. I miss winter.

ALOUJAGR - all non-essential bugs are driven to Extinction, which I believe is right next to T'loser.; 3:39 PM
michael said...: Well maybe the 80 degree will kill some corona virus too. Bring it on!

ALOU69 - turns out the bugs were just quarantined. they come out again!; 1:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Prison won't let you in if you've taken NSAID/acetaminophen within four hours of showing up because their highly inaccurate forehead temperature readings could be even more highly inaccurate. Their cutoff is 100 which means you'd probably need a fever of at least 102 to hit 100 on their thermometer.

I hear that they'll be switching to intra-ocular thermometer probes next week, jabbing the thermometer deep into the vitreous for accurate readings. Man, I hate when that happens.

ALOU70 - ATHENA LaserTag game for kids mistakenly gets approval from the Consumer Protection Agency.; 9:50 AM
michael said...: At least they're not checking your temp rectally.

ALOU71 - America is attacked by sharks with lasers attached to their heads; 10:57 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: as long as they aren't landsharks, we'll be ok.

Two prisoners and one staff at Fed prison in Butner have tested positive. Which means there are probably a zillion others with it. I was just there today. YIKES! There are several different complexes up there (over 5,000 inmates) and I didn't hear which complex(es) had the positive folks. I hope not the one where I was.

ALOUPUNTBAMAPUNT - on the millennial anniversary of the greatest Iron Bowl in history, Auburn scores every time ua-t hikes the ball.; 7:48 PM
michael said...: Whenever you've said "prison" all these years, I figured it was figurative because of the limited internet access. I didn't know you hung out in a literal prison.

ALOUZIEMBA! - bless you; 3:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I got a call from the Buy More Health & Occupational Safety office last Wed. night. Turns out I sold something to a customer with COVID-19. I was able to abate their concern when I confirmed that I handled this sale from home via the internet.

As much as I love me some Felipe Alou, we might as well combine the baseball & Auburn components of the 30th century post count...

In an inexplicable upset, he finished runner-up for the Lou Groza Award.; 1:56 PM
michael said...: What about a Participation Trophy?; 3:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: The Loser Trophy, née Participation Trophy, was given to everyone else.

BOTATE - Scientists determine that a social distance of 18 nanometers is just a bit too close.; 3:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I was almost right earlier. There are a boatload of COVID-19 cases at federal prison Butner and at least 4 deaths so far.; 12:54 AM
michael said...: Quarantine THIS!

2978 - They quarantined that.; 5:36 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: You know who doesn't have COVID-19? Frank Thomas, that's who. I've ordered Nugenix for every family member.

2979 - Georgia's COVID-19 curve starts to flatten.; 7:30 AM
michael said...: With some of the claims Nugenix makes in those commercials, you might get some funny stares when you deliver the products.

2980 - The monkeys escape!!!; 10:53 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: H!
Heading to Asheville in the wee hours tomorrow morning then back to W-S in afternoon for at least part of the weekend.

2981 - Millenial anniversary of the nuptials of THT/MrsTHT. I still don't know what a nuptial is.; 1:32 PM
michael said...: Nuptials are like the wedding version of scratch.

2982 - Millennial anniversary of the birth of a certain Eurasian king; 2:04 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Was that exactly 9 months after the THTs nuptials? Oh my stars! MrsTHT and I are royalty!!!

2983 - millenial anniversary of the Tornado Warning Iron Bowl,; 9:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: If you like brussell sprouts, then I'm sure you must be MrsTHT's kid.

23-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-56098

2984 - coldest year on record.; 11:16 AM
michael said...: Was that some kind of code THT?

I do like Brussell Sprouts. I guess my main question for you if I am your kid is how did you lose me when I was so young? And in Eurasia of all places!

2985 - Super Boll Weevil Shuffle; 3:16 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: You were in a stroller when we were on a walk down the street. I stumbled on a map store and went inside. When I came out, you were gone. You left a note telling me that I'd be forgiven once you became King of Eurasia. I thought you were just playing a joke on me.

2986 - due to a 50 year printers strike, George Orwell XXI's book 2984, is finally published; it goes straight to paperback.; 4:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 69 yo NJ lady got slightly sick and tested COVID positive. She was told to quarantine at home. Instead, she drove almost 500 miles to Durham NC to her daughter's house where she was sick as a goat and ended up in ICU at Durham hospital. WHy can't those yankees keep their germs to themselves?

2987 - the year before... well, michael, I was waiting for a setup, but I'll have to handle this myself. You must be tied up with Eurasian royalty obligations.; 12:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: BOBEASLEY!!!; 12:13 PM
michael said...: I've had a lot on my plate!

2989 - Oh what a night!; 11:32 AM
michael said...: Getting close to a whole new page. Been a long time coming.

It was so long ago the last time we turned a page that bubbs and Ebro were still posting here.; 3:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: never heard of 'em

2991 - Almost a thousand years later, Michigan governor allows non-essential businesses to open. She issues this order from her houseboat on Lake Michigan.; 2:23 PM
michael said...: Our family played a kickball game with two other families yesterday. Please don't tell the authorities!

2992 - the year of grunge; 5:27 PM
THT said...: kickball is, historically, one of the most beloved social distancing sporting activities. I'm sure y'all had a big bucket of clorox at the "pitcher's mound" to dunk the ball before each delivery, and for post-game refreshment. At least, that's how the Trumps do it.

2993 - people still recovering from grunge-infested palindrome; 2:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: He's up there wrasslin' with them angels.; 2:31 PM
michael said...: I'm getting a Covid-19 antibody test today. It'd be pretty sweet if I already had this thing, but I probably didn't. The whole false positive and false negative thing kind of means I won't know anything more regardless of what comes back I guess, but figure i'd do it anyway.

2994 - Covid-19 probody tests are all the rage; 12:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: LB drove 170 miles roundtrip yesterday just to pick up Lexington Barbecue for our dinner. We were surprised and we enjoyed it immensely.

2995 - US President tweet about a cure for the COVID-19 probody test rage causes a critical shortage of rabies vaccine.; 8:19 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ok, you got me with your post number shuffling

2997 - cut me some slack and don't give me no flack, cause I got your back, Jack, and we're right on track in our attack for another page flip; 1:04 PM
michael said...: I'm officially coronavirus antibody negative. Guess I still better be careful then.

2998 - 1000 year anniversary of the Michael Bay classic "Armageddon." As for the year 2996? We'll never know what happened.; 1:46 PM
michael said...: by the way, 170 mile roundtrip just to pick up BBQ (that ain't even Memphis bbq) is just crazy.

2999 - 1000 year anniversary of all the things that happened in 1999.; 1:51 PM
THT said...: Be my guest. We sure can't count on Norm.

3000 - y2k worldwide computer crash inadvertently activated a thousand years too late; 11:44 AM
michael said...: A new page. A new dawn.
The new smell of a freshly mowed lawn.
When they ask for a king, don't give em a pawn.
I'm the total package, brains with the brawn.
Watch me hit these rhymes with the grace of a faun.
When I feel like seafood, I fry up a prawn.

3001 - The 1000th anniversary of the year cited in this classic local Memphis commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odCQpcj7Vm4; 2:09 PM
THT said...: wow, a thousand years later and you still can't be bothered with a simple hyperlink.

3002 - palindrome year celebration planning committee is formed on Dec 31; planning is obviously not their forte; 8:53 AM
THT said...: Feng has obviously hijacked Eunice Laseron's gmail account. It was used to post the following comment to a 3 year old map blog post:

Pɑragraph writing is also a fun, if you know afterward
you can write or else it is complicated to write.

That is sage advice. Thanks, Feng! Have another hotdog!

3003 - lack of preparation dooms the palindrome year celebration; 10:10 AM
