My first thread was an MMP as well – this one in 2010 after I had been around for like 3 years as a member and longer as a lurker > **[An Early Santarchiac MMP](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=547323)** > > If someone can, please link to the rules of Santarchy from the earlier thread ---- and here’s hoping the links all work right like I typed them. Basically how this all started, for me, was Her Ladyship wanting me the Hell out of the house so she... Since then I’ve started 13 more threads in a total of 3,912 posts. And thank God the software kept track because I couldn’t have even guessed. ---

No snow today, but it did monsoon at 0730. of course we got the first shipment of waterguns in last week:smack:,so it’s gonna snow here in the next couple of weeks. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > That has been some time.

The snow isn’t too bad here; it was fun on the unplowed road coming home last night. I hope it improves by Thursday; I need 2 teeth pulled in Pittsburgh. I’m glad that I’m used to Pitt driving again, having a GF in Lawrenceville is a good enough reason to go there. It’s been a long time since I met **Robyn** and **Airman Doors** , when is the next Mid-Atlantic get together? ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > Well, let’s see. TNT shows it daily from 4am to 7am, then on weekends until 11am or noon, depending on what movies or sporting events they have lined up; WEtv has marathons on Tuesday and Saturday from 4pm or 5pm until 1am, and Sundance TV has it Mondays 3pm to 11pm and Fridays 4pm to midnight. Also, lots of other channels carry SVU and CI, so check your local listings Oh, cool, I didn’t know that Sundance showed it on Mondays. Yay! Love the Wetv marathons, except for the stupid ads for other Wetv shows. ---

Until . . . **Someone said something not quite right** and I registered and jumped in. . . . That is classic, that is. So this is a memory test MMP. I’m screwed unless the hamsters can help me. Hmm. Can’t find my first post, but can find the first thread I started, regarding [Animaniacs and Pavlov](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=124249). Re-reading it, I can’t believe I forgot about “externalized salivary glands.” Not going to look for my first MMP post. Haven’t ever started an MMP. Back from Phoenix yesterday. First day back at work after a week off holding the grandbaby. She went from seven weeks old to eight weeks old while I was there. And the weather was better. ---

My first post was long enough ago that I had to look it up. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=11785394](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=11785394) The first thread that I began was almost three years later :eek: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=11785405](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=11785405), not like I’ve started a whole mess of 'em. 😃 I came to the Dope from a link on Snopes. I had read the books back in the day, was aware of it on AOL and actually lurked for a year or so before ponying up for membership back in the P2P days. Like **shoe** , I haven’t been hanging out with you [del]weirdos[/del] MMP folks long. ---

So we have TWO “volunteers” this week for starting the MMP next week. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I mean, er, good! I think **SHOES** was the first to volunteer! All in favor? ---

It would appear that **shoe** , and **red** have both volunteered for successive weeks, with **shoe** startin’ next week, and **red** the followin’ week. Shall we put it to a vote or just acclaim by proclamation? We’re a benevolent bunch of [del]weirdos[/del] despots. 😃 ETA: Or is that proclaim by acclamation? Either way I’m good. ---

We went straight past French toast to filet of Portuguese Sweet Bread this AM. Snow started, 18" to 24+" expected. UPS’s and battery packs charged. ---

Just checked my fave weather site. They’re now saying maybe an inch of snow tonight. From the looks of the radar, we’ll be getting rain for a while. Yay! I’ve got 2 loaves of 'nanner bread in the oven - it’s smelling yum in here! I’ve finished 11 baskets (except for attaching some of the handles) and I’m halfway thru the 12th and final basket. Tomorrow will be bunny-making day - I’ll make 24 of them. Pics when all are done. 😃 ---

It’s starting to snow down here. It might actually stick. This makes me happy. I don’t have to drive to irk in it tomorrow, either (last vacation day). This also makes me happy.
