Damn Pixy's hamsters ate my ampersand!

Somewhere down in the basement, the little packrats have thousands of them squirreled away. If they ever get loose, it'll be ampersands everywhere.

chemjeff, thanks, but I clicked through to the source article. So, it didn't look like that to you? Weirdness. Wonder if that's a browser-specific thing. More likely just my karma.
chemjeff's other link... those brothers need to start seeing other people...
Uh... from chemjeff's feelgood link...

I couldn't continue with that mangled text. WTH?
I brought a bunch of fish up with me when I moved from Santa Barbara to San Jose (280 miles) -- most of them were in a Coleman cooler.... -cthulhu
I just tuned in -- good morning! -- read the above & wondered WTF... oh! Aquarium fish. I was thinking, restocking a pond? Can't get your fave at the local grocer?
Yeaah.. think I'll get a cup of coffee....
I read backwards.
I read forwards.
I think mmy brain wore out. Now to pass through the Morpheus dimension, and pop out refreshed in the future. Alakaboom!
Oh, wait, wait... something... oh yeah...

ONOES! Several inches of snow! Lows in the 1s. And, two, maybe three days of this!

Good evening. Sure were some purty gals in all those footsball posts today. Made for easy 'reading.'
Hope you'n's in the Nawthun states all are hunkered down, bundled up, drinking hot flaming cocoa, and talking with your relatives about surviving Obamacide or a Coronal Mass Ejection.
"The best antidote for that is meeting the young men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan -Richard McEnroe
This all just reminded me of a local story.

"The U.S. Army Reserve 481st Transportation Detachment will conduct a farewell ceremony, Saturday, January 4 at 2 p.m. in Bartlesville.
"The ceremony is in preparation of their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan and in support of Operation Enduring Freedom."
Combined pride and fury.
Mindful, we'll just locate your spot on the continuum of functional nonfunctional and if you stray more than two standard deviations away, we'll send the rescue St. Bernard.
Mindful, don't worry, if you do something out of character we'll sound the alarm for you, too.

Thanks!
um... but... now I worry...
If I was[ having a grain blitch, started spouting gibberish, babbling, making no sense, forgetting to clean my socks.... you know, at what point would anyone think that out of character?
"I don't think that's a really apt comparison. ... I have no doubt whatsoever that 1940's America had Ethan Krupps, they just didn't do shit.

Thanks, Tami. I went to the previous thread and saw his checkin.

Anyone know if Vic is okay? His next-to-last post contained gibberish, and I couldn't tell if he was joking.

Wow, nobody asked if mindful was okay when I did something similar recently! 
Of course, 1) I ain't Vic, and 2) I was clowning in the ONT, so, it was considered normal if anyone was sober enough to even notice. 
It was an odd exit for Vic. Since I can do nothing, I'll hold to the Vic is fine, kitteh-hampered as Tami noted, but until we know, prayervibes his way anyway. Who couldn't use some!
Thanks, Texas Dave.
Before I tab over to read the linked article...
One aspect of Overstreet's story I truly appreciate: a lifetime as a CPA. A long life of sedate peaceful employment and in retirement continuing to help folks.
It's what they fought for.
Alas it has to be won anew so frequently.
Heh but I still have some content. I gotta keep stuff for tonight's ONT!

Truth is, I was waiting for BenK's dump until I remembered, none on Saturday.
The other thing you're doing wrong for a morning thread, obviously, is reading & replying! 
It's just... after your great ONT... you must've burned up all your content.

Vic, Vic, Vic, how can you call scientific research like that "stupid?"
(Didn't read it all, just spotted that quote & left.)
A phrase comes to mind...
"You're doing it wrong."
