All is well that ends in pizza.

We're less than 100 away from needing a new Minearverse thread, and the episode just started on the west coast.

Wheee!

What is even happening?

I know "Support group for clumsy people" is likely to take it for Minearverse 4, but in case some folks are still luke-warm on it, or, as a pre-emptive strike for Minearverse 5, I'd like to throw this in the ring:

From Minearverse (posted by Tim):

One last thing. I will mention one person who does seem to get it... of course he's had a chance to see more than the critics, and that's Peter Liguori, the pres of the network. He called me Monday to tell me that he wanted to air two originals back to back, and wanted to do it on the 6th so there would be time for it to show up in the listings. He told me he'd been thinking a lot about the show, that he couldn't shake it, that this was a "testament to my illness," he said he didn't think it was something you could sell in ten minutes, called it all kinds of nice things, said it was a much better show than it was performing, and that he hadn't given up on it. So that's good.

I think someday, one of the Minearverse threads needs to be called:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Minearverse [number]: A Testament to my Illness

Reminds me of that old Saved by the Bell(?) joke:

PRINCIPAL BELDEN (reads): Please excuse Zach from classes today due to illness. (beat) Hey. This note is signed "Dr. Dre"!

Minearverse is an ex-thread - we still good with "clumsy people"?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm on it.

And... it's up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yo, I get emails from Amazon every week with "special" "affiliate" deals. Is it too tacky/tpw to post some of the links, if they seem relevant?
