Another librarian! Cool.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

See, this is why I lurk. I checked in this afternoon, and then just now, and my first post was 1340. The last is 1492. Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and I don't think I can keep up! I leave it up to you all to come up with a rhymne. Whatever. I work for a messenger company, and due to the bay bridge closure, it's been hell, and my brain shut down, along with the bridge, at about 11:30am.
Serial comma: yes. From Stephen Colbert: "Hey, semi-colon, comma or colon, pick a side, we're at war!" (or is it..) Elipses...yes! Olives: yes. Muffallottas (or whatever) I don't think so, due to colliflower. I don't like it, so why should I spell it correctly? Celantro: In moderation. Especially on El Faralito burritos.
But more to the point, I really due appreciate this board and thread. I'll try to post in some of the TV threads. I have a life that is such that, I have time to come here, but then, I have to go away for a few days. Then I'm hopelessly behind.
My board name is not my real name. It's both my grandmothers' maiden names.
I look forward to the "2009 can kiss my ass" thread, and who knows, maybe next year I'll do one of the secrete Santas (can't this year). And if I don't make it into other threads, see you next year.
And I love that this community, and it IS a community, exists.

Not cereal, but PBR.
I find it comforting that, if I should have to move across the country for some reason, I could post in "Press," and have Buffistas in a 100+ mile radius, offering meet me, show me around, etc. It's good to know.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hi, Kiba! Hi, Fern!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, I don't know if you've read it
Oh, I've read it. Quentin Compson is my homeboy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
billytea, I'd like to see the pet carbon footprint study. Do you have a link? While I once felt virtuous about reusing my neighbor's newspaper bags for pick-up, I was struck my Phillipe Cousteau's quote stating that every single piece of plastic ever manufactured, in the history of petrochemicals, still exists. I'd love to find a better option.
Here's one news item about it: [link] The people who did the work on this are a couple of New Zealanders; apparently their work was published in New Scientist. (I suspect it's quite contentious, especially since they entitled their book "Time to Eat the Dog".)

That is all.

Faulkner is my favorite writer. He's always an inspiration.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Quentin Compson is my homeboy.
Quite possibly my favorite of all the awesome things you've ever said.

Our wings are not tired.
Last day of this thread. I read every single post! Delurking thread - brilliant idea. I look forward to doing it again next year.
Joe! Beautiful baby. World domination efforts continue.
Kiba! Corwood! Fern! Yay for making it to the thread before it closes.
It has been delightful to see the delurkers and rare posters. I've particularly enjoyed finding out new things about the posters I know so well. The thread caused me to skip more in Natter and Bitches, but it was worth it.
This is an incredible community and I appreciate all of you.
