Re: Longest Running Thread EVER
 

 
I went there. There wasn't a mascot at all until the 80s. Early 80s there was talk about having a mascot since they want the school to be more like others. (Get the fraternities, have a sports team other than Ultimate Frisbee) and since it was the admin pushing it, The Banana Slug was chosen by the students. I think it was decided to be the Sea Lion, but after a near 100% NO from the students, it went to the Slug.

How about a kitten?

 
He's the runt of the litter. Named Toberman James. We'll see once we get him adopted if he'll keep the name.

This is what it was like a few days ago:

Thanks again for running it, Mark.  And it was great to finally meet you!  
 
And Tom, I'm sorry I didn't know it was you.  I'd have made more of a big deal of finally meeting you too!  

Were you the group down in Timberline with the Lego building? I thought about poking in to say hello, but it looked like y'all had your hands full.

Yes, and you should have!

Yea, I'm writing down my notes and getting some other things ready for the next time.   I had a hell of a schedule the last couple months that kept impacting my prep work, but starting earlier will help.
 
And thanks for playing in my game Chris & Tom!

Yikes.   We had a cat that foamed and expelled noxious fluids everytime he was put in a carrier.   We really limited his travel times...
 
Shots can cause a reaction, though usually it's just lethargy and a possible low grade fever.   (Out of > 1000 kittens i had experience with, two had reactions.  One was fairly serious in that I had to give him fluids and cut out of the adoption event early.)
And I need to read up on the latest going ons with flea meds.  (Best thing about living at 5000' and a dry climate was cat/dog fleas didn't survive.  So far, we haven't had any flea issues, but it's just a matter of time that one hitches a ride into the house)

That's what the kitten is for.

Nothing like doctor tests that don't show anything abnormal, but you feel like crap.
Definite imbalance of the humours.

THANK YOU!

Tahiti - It's a wonderful place.

I am thinking he is, as others have mentioned, taking the comments she made about Wrinkle in Time (which is basically true, the movie wasn't made for 40+ white males) that were being credited as being about CM, due to the fact she made them at a press conference for CM and was answering a criticism of Wrinkle in Time.

Getting 'subversive man-bashing' from those scenes requires an ability to reach that Mr. Fantastic would be proud of IMO.
 
Well, maybe unless that's what you were looking for all along, I suppose.

As Wonder Man realized: "She doesn't stand back and point like Wanda or Jan. She hauls off and hits a guy like a man would."

Exactly, the roadrunner could easily defeat a Kree fleet.
 
Additionally, Thanos would be no match for Bugs Bunny.

Now and then, I'll throw out a "Shazbot!"
 

When I was a kid I used "Feldercarb!" which something that I stole from Battlestar Galactica.  Nowadays, I am more likely to just say frel.

I'm a former Marine. If I stopped swearing when I spoke I'd be reduced to hand gestures and writing things on a chalk board.

There is a university Vice President for Communications to whom I must send this ten-year-old URL.
