You know what they say about sunshine and dog’s asses, right? Guess I got lucky on that one… I’m still to the point where quite often I read these threads and stare at the puzzle without an inkling of what to even ask! But I’m racking up the penny candy!! That’s TWO in two days. Maybe someday I’ll graduate to being able to get a “real” one, eh? So… is SR gonna show or what? * * * –I am Soren Kierkegaard.– “People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.” ---

OK. Last easy one. Then we pack up the thread and wait for better times. A man tells his boss, “Don’t take your flight today! I had a dream last night that if you do, your plane will crash and you’ll die.” The boss fires the man immediately. How come? ---

Well, I’d say yes, because there’s enough anti-elitist sentiment on this board already. Plus, it gives us a nice swift kick in the butt to get quick about things. And, we can mooch their questions. If you want to wait, SR, it’s jake by me. Just tell us when you’re free. ---

Nice to see you SR… don’t know if you saw it, but I posted yesterday that my money was on you to win this thing. Anyway… no pressure, but I’m gettin’ hungry and don’t have any lunch money for today. Oh… and I apologize for sounding like we’ve met, as I don’t think we have. I’ve just been hanging out for about a week now trying to keep up with these posts. Anyway… good luck to you and FS both. * * * –I am Soren Kierkegaard.– “People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.” ---

No, I’m here, I was just answering something over in GQ. And no fair teaming up. I mailed Bricker, but I’ve not had a response yet, so we’ll have to wait patiently. What’s your cutoff time, SR? Or are you being sneaky about this?
