I'm suppose to be doing some Christmas shopping.

Oh, damn. I was very pointedly *NOT* trying because I knew other people wanted it. I figured it had already been safely gotten so it was okay for me to post.earendel wrote:ladysoleil, in the M-W word of the year thread.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:Who got it?BackInTex wrote:

Fret not - in my book a gus isn't a gus unless it's earned. For everyone to try and sit back so that a particular person can get it is a violation of the spirit of the gus hunt, or so I opine.ladysoleil wrote:Oh, damn.

Post it on Ebay. Maybe someone will bid on it. Who knows?

Re: I'm not at work today
Well, yes, but since some folks have been going at it like gangbusters it sort of seems unfair for someone to get it just by doing whatever they'd normally do. I knew it was close but figured someone had just nailed it. Oh well, sometimes you're in the right place at the right time.earendel wrote:
