And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

To cheer everyone up, I present adorable baby bears wrestling.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Tom, I'm confused by your statement that overexplaining

combined with the fact that he said he was from the midwest set off warning flags in my head

How did Gus claiming to be from the Midwest fit into the warning flags? Not intending to defend Gus or otherwise start an argument. I'm just not sure how being from the Midwest is a warning flag.

I feel left out. Okay...not really.

I think Tom is talking about a more recent de-lurker - the midwest reference was a warning flag that we may have been dealing with another Gus sockpuppet.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm talking about someone who delurked a few weeks ago, who I thought may have been Gus. Being from the midwest was one of the details he provided. It wasn't being from the midwest specifically, it was that he provided so much of his backstory up front.

I think it was Darth Cheesecake.

Now I want a cupcake.

So are we blocking him as a sock on FB?

You're right, amyth.

I apologize to Darth Cheesecake if I'm wrong about this, and I hope that I am wrong.
