Happy Birthday!
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.

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, AD. I will be forever grateful that you got me the tape of my appearance on WWTBAM for my viewing party (4 years ago now!). Have a great day!

Whoa....thanks, everybody!! 
Greetings and salivations to all...
I was able to sneak a peek at work earlier; seeing all of your posts really helped to pull me through. Things have been beyond description at the shop recently; I am back on six days a week/10 hours a day...and they have me going in a few hours tomorrow as well, just for bad measure. And these have not been easy hours, either. So, at the end of the day (God help me, I hate cliches...but "end of the day" is literal here) I am pretty much out of gas.
Really, though, I cannot complain; I remember all too well what it was like at the other end of the spectrum and I do have to count my blessings. At this point, however, lurking is pretty much all I can muster; one day soon the Muses will be back, though, to deliver the seeds of a Top Ten list or a song parody...it always happens, and usually when least expected. In the meantime I will be cheering - or jeering, as needed - from the sidelines and thanking all of you for helping to pull me through the current madness.
In the meantime, I hoist a cold Point to my friends here in deep appreciation of all that has happened with all of you thus far - and for what is yet to come...

Sheesh. I hope you're being paid for all this overtime and not expected to do it for nothing because you're on salary.AlphaDummy wrote:Things have been beyond description at the shop recently; I am back on six days a week/10 hours a day...and they have me going in a few hours tomorrow as well, just for bad measure.
