OK, I guess maybe I missed it. Or maybe there wasn’t any particular “it.” But for the past few months, every time someone makes a list in a post, one of the list items (usually #3) is “Hi Opal!” When did this start and why? Fill me in, please!
Yes, of course I know who Opal is. Don’t be silly! I’m just curious as to why she is greeted in every list lately. It appears to be one of those inside jokes understood by everyone but me.
This seems to come up a lot lately.

I’m sorry. I should have searched before I posted. Thank you, Ma Parrot
Hmm… AOL Instant Messenger Handle: Alphagene22
Isn’t the 22nd letter Chi, as in “X”, the X-gene?
