Ah HA! I THOUGHT I detected a marvelously subtle Canadian sense of humor at work here. Of course, I had to read a dozen posts into the thread before it dawned on me.
Thanks for the smile, orcenio. I needed one today!
aw crap! 
Holy shit, I heard that as a radio play exactly once when I was a teenager, and I still remember it! What the hell is the title?
This ‘snowflake’ thing going around here has to be the biggest head-scratcher. I haven’t seen ANY snowflakes on this board. I see the usual tribalism…etc…etc…but I don’t see anyone asking for safe-spaces or talking about micro-aggressions unless in the most facetious manner.
Out of all the things to attack those of a left-leaning bent…crazy.
edit: Ok, i get the joke. But my point stands in general.
Apologies for my being dumb.
Don’t think I stole it, but if I did, sounds a bit like Firesign Theater to me. Other than that, no clue.
No, no, it was a serious sci-fi play (why does autocorrect give me such a hard time with that term?), in which either the sun had gone out, or the earth moved away from it, and it centered around a family surviving by doing something similar to what you were describing.
Oh, well, I guess it’s Cafe Society territory now…
Wait. IF this is a parody, and you’re threatening to leave, does that mean there’s actually one of these threads where the Republitroll said they were leaving?
I kinda have them all on ignore, and only know what they say through the Quote boxes.
Good heavens, no, I don’t want the liberals to get lost. Far from it, their daily appearance whining on our screens is a comforting reminder that conservatives are doing something right. It’s if they stopped protesting that I’d be worried.
“A Pail of air” or something like that.
The OP is whooshing both the left and right here, Bravo OP!
Really guys, the OP is about ice crystals, typically displaying delicate sixfold symmetry.
This thread fuckered up a few people, myself included, (and I’d like to thank the OP for giving me a smile on the day that you know who was inagurated) but you have gotten this even more fuckered up than was probably originally intended.
Read the whole thread. The Whoosh is strong in this one. ;)
I moved to an area where snow is maybe a once-a-winter occurence, having shoveled my share of snowflakes for 25 years in Ohio.
Firesign Theater! Oh my, they could do a bit on today’s events, no?
Trump supporters are so…fragile. Be bold Trumpers. Face up to four years of the kind of abuse that Obama (and his supporters) took for eight years. Obama took it like a man. Y’all shouldn’t take it like …, like…well you know what I mean.
Have not seen any snowflakes. Shit ton of rain though. Our precious little fragile butts are being washed away out here in left coast land. We’ve had at least five six-inch storms back to back. Walked out before dawn this morning to find my gravel driveway had turned into a river (backed up culvert) and was well into the process of moving to the ocean for good.
A few snowflakes would be fine.
Damn…I got whooshed. Alcohol and emotion…that’s my excuse. I should have read the OP.
That said…freaky warm and wet here in N.E. Indiana.
On the subject of the OP, out here in Portland OR we’ve had an unusually large amount of the crystals these last few weeks, with the schools now scrambling to figure out how to make up for, I believe, 9 snow days.
Driving by a church, I saw on its marquee “IF YOU HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR SNOW, PLEASE STOP”
Oh, and another thing. All you anti-Trumpers should just go to Canada!
And they’d be quite welcome. Unlike Trump supporters we actually have some care and compassion for our fellow human beings outside our borders. Actually, you Trump supporters don’t even seem to care about the people inside your own country. You poor deluded Trumpists still can’t recognize how much Trump is going to screw you over? Well, don’t worry we’ll be here to remind you as it happens.
