Cthulhu - The West Egg is already a favorite of mine. I discovered it several business trips ago, and it's worth the walk from my digs, I think. Ok, the flowershop on State is definitely on my "Adventure Menu"! Now, if only I could pronounce "Cthulhu".

Someone has been tagging me. Does the spray point wash off? At least I could peel off the sticky notes.

10W40 would be a particular weight of motor oil. WD40 is also an oil, a mechanical lubricant. Think squeaky door hinges, rusty bolts, bicycle chains.

which one do you mean ? if it's the naming thread, it did start out as a serious discussion. i'm not saying it wasn't rapidly subverted. but its original intention was completely legitimate.

Subversion is not legitimate?
Also, I was going to add a few more tags to this thread but have spent my allotment (which ain't a lot). Must find way to subvert system. |

oh now, that's not what i meant. however the topic discussed in the thread did conform to the threads stated topic (according to the title) for a non-negligible number of posts, *before* it was so thoroughly subverted. personally i've a fondness both for the "before" and the "after", contemporary legendary status notwithstanding.

I'm feeling a bit of deja vu....remember how much trouble I had getting people for the Atlanta meetup? I resorted to searching for people who self-reported their location and leaving messages on user profiles.
And they don't know what they're missing. Dreamer |
