Where'd everyone go?

No posts in over an hour in the middle of the day?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

My guess is they are out shopping.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

The Airing of Grievances was pretty popular today.

Maybe everyone is resting up before we begin The Feats of Strength.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus
The Feats of Strength is the final tradition observed in the celebration of Festivus. Traditionally, the head of the household selects one person at the Festivus celebration and challenges that person to a wrestling match.[5] The person may decline if they have something else to do, such as pull a double shift at work. Tradition states that Festivus is not over until the head of the household is pinned in a wrestling match.
I'm not sure how we can adapt this to our Bored celebration. Just deciding who's the head of the household could take weeks! :P

But, in any event, it appears that I'm rushing things. We need to have the Festivus Dinner next, and save The Feats of Strength for last.



I'm going to order some Chinese take-out! :)

Me, too. Since I couldn't exactly run to the store earlier this week, when the streets were blocked with reforestation and the store was closed due to lack of power, anyway, I thought I should go today. . .

. . . before the flipping snowstorm comes in, which it seems flipping determined to do, with an ever increasingly pessimistic flipping forecast. The Glare of Righteousness may not be as effective as hoped.

Keep practicing the glare. We may need you to use it on the ABC chickie.

Sorry for not holding up my end. Had to take hub to doctors' appointments on my lunch hour(?!) Thank God for a great, understanding boss.
