I must say that on my latest lurk-see at that other forum, it was interesting to note that people were quite clearly being told to not express their feelings, even in non-political tones, about the election yesterday. Nine posts to "The Sky Is Falling!" thread, of which three were not even saying anything about the election, and the forum police starts to put a roadblock up to detour the traffic elsewhere... I'm not trying to open up a gripe session or complaint desk, but am wondering...
What has become of that forum in the past couple months? Seems people aren't talking about anything at all unless it is suitable for a mutual admiration society. Me thinks The Fortress has been beached upon a sandbar... thar be no more forum fortified with 10 Essential Plunderings and Pirately Goodness... Aaaaar! If tweren't fer Cap'n Ray tryin' to keep 'er alfloat, I'd say scuttle the hulk, ye lilly-livered scurvy dogs of bilge rats!

Actually, today I was walking and I saw a bird on the power lines directly above where I was going to walk. I decided to walk by quickly as I have had back luck under those power lines before, and as I was walking quickly I walked directly into a bug, which hit my eye. At least it was a hit and gone instead of hit and goo...if you know what I mean.
