I almost fell for that one as well.

Good thing Luke Skywalker isn't a member. He would have targeted all the wombats.

[JimNightshade]

Wombats?

[Jaglavak]

No, seriously. Don't you think that would look good engraved on a plaque on the wall?

[Sputnik]

I think it should be those 4 more words every man loves hearing from his wife…

and, one more thing…

Or, the female equivalent of the F bomb……..fine….

I said "Because Leaving The House Just Isn't An Option Anymore" because I'm on day 5 of a COVID bender, and I haven't left the second floor of my house since Saturday morning.

Gosh, that sounds like all kinds of fun. Is this the first time you've had it?

Hey! Welcome to the COVID club! I just got over it about 5 weeks ago! That was actually WORSE than cancer treatment.

Nope, this is the third confirmed time I've had it, but suspect it's my fourth overall--which includes the really nasty "flu" I got after visiting my folks in December 2019 in the NY/NJ metropolitan area.

I get your drift, but [for edited reasons] that's a comparison I leave to your humor, good Sir.

Feeling better today, but there was still a slight perceptible line. Good GAWD it was good to get outside to have coffee in the sunshine this AM though.

I should have worn pants though--now my neuticles are frozen.

Let's call that "probable". My brother out west got a really nasty "flu" in March - April 2020, it was the most sick he's ever been. Covid tests weren't available yet (much less in the previous December) so like you it can't be called "confirmed".

I had Covid once. As unpleasant as it was, it was a mild case as Covid goes. Praised be the One who gives us understanding to create vaccines.

In reply, I give you the final part of xkcd on mRNA vaccines. Fortunately, Tripler can deal with the BOOM.

Sir Francis Bacon

(1561-1626) is generally considered the father of the scientific method, but Bacon was preceded by over a thousand years of thinkers who formulated the ideas that inspired him.

So now you've got icicles hanging off your neuticles?

[Scuba Ben]

@ What Exit
We may have been given understanding, but it took us quite some time to figure out how to use it to good effect.

There were some stalactites hanging around The Stalagmite, but there are ladies present, so I'll keep it classy from here on out . . .

I think tomorrow's going to be the day we celebrate in the Ewoks' village on Endor.

Tripler
Feeling much better this evening.

These days I'm quite content with the current slogan, or at least the one I saw on my last refresh of the main screen: Little shit thinks he rules the world.

No you're not. Swallow youre pride and admit what you told me the other day . . . "I should own this fucking board!"

Tripler
Why yes, I am felling better now, why do you ask?

[Tripler]

Hey @Scuba_Ben, how'd you get ten million posts?

Too late, its already mine. I got the deed of title off Jim Nightshade to settle a gambling debt. He owed me a pile of money, but it was still a bargain to snag this place.

[Scuba Ben]

Tripler and Jaglavak, you're both wrong. It's BJMoose's board.

As for my post count, I think it got mutated when I said a certain admin's name backwards.

[claudius]

I'm glad to see that we're finally coming together on the wombat question, well 7 of us anyway. Which leads me to ask, what the hell is wrong with the rest of you reprobates?

Do you want it alphabetically or in order of importance?

...

Nevermind, we ain't got that kinda time.

[Jaglavak]

A series of poor behavioral choices exacerbated by uninspiring role models and questionable associates.
At least thats how the judge explained it to me anyway.
