From the description in the first post (the list of characters) it sounds as though HarryT too will be a late moderator before the holiday is over. The Guard of Moderators grows thinner...

I'd also love to see a "Ten Little Niggers"-development here, but remember -- even though the list of suspects gets shorter, it doesn't necessarily contain the murderer at the end

By my calculations, the next Friday, January 7th will occur in 2022. Is this a clue, or is MR cheaping out and awarding a clutch of obsolete products in nine years?

Geez that Jellby is a cold one. I thought Dribs was cold, but Jellby takes the freezer. I'm still hoping Pooh is hiding somewhere and not eaten!

poohbear_nc's apparent demise seems a bit suspicious to me. One minute he's warming himself by the fire then Pilotbob has his fall from the roof and suddenly there's a properly plucked and roasted chicken dinner in the microwave. Maybe a whole chicken could cook in a microwave that quickly, but from the description it sounds as if said bird had been properly plucked and prepared before being put in to cook. That doesn't happen in 5 minutes. Plus there are the melted plastic glasses that poohbear_nc wears. Melted plastic has a distinct smell about it, but when the microwave is opened it releases "a huge cloud of fragrant steam" into the kitchen. These facts lead me to think that poohbear nc's apparent demise is a red herring meant to throw suspicion off of his possible involvement. I'll be keeping an eye out for that bird along with Loosheesh. At least til such time as new evidence clears the air a bit.

There certainly are something special about lawyers. I'm certain that some of the first things they learn in the first term at lawyer-school is to close their eyes to everything. Do you know why lawyers are never attacked by sharks?
