But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

Fixed.

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

Aw. I just wanted to note that OfficeTally has also put its quote generator on hiatus, replacing it with a simple "There are no words" and changing the graphic to be strike-related.

When do we start up the year end thread???

December has hit like a ton of bricks and I'm ready for 2008.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Looks like it's been December 9th last couple of years. Dunno if there's special significance to the date.

The special significance is that's the date we start the end of the year thread on.

Could a stompy go look at my links in F2F? Folks are getting 404 messages, yet I'm (fairly) sure I wrote them all up correctly.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Looks like it had smart quotes instead of straight quotes, and the board was not liking that much. Try it now.

What's the difference, Liese? I don't want to have that happen on me again.

Smart quotes are what happens when a program like Word converts pairs of normal keyboard quotation marks to the 66 99 style quotation marks.
