He’s only in it for the turtle eggs. Every single time I announce I’m having a turtle egg omelette for dinner, he drives over from Utah and steals them. And the cops here in Denver? Hah! All they say is, “Turtle eggs? In Denver? Are you high?” Meanwhile Rico is streaking back across the state while I hope for a July blizzard to cut him off at Berthoud Pass.

Hide your turtle eggs; that’s all _I’m_ saying.

You will find the world hostile to those speaking great truths. See Plato’s allegory of the cave. Nobody said it would be easy but don’t be daunted. The truth always prevails.

Finally, I can relax, having waited a decade for someone to sum it all up, with a Plato reference that most of us have never heard before…

And this thread can return to its original gravitas.

Oddly enough, no.

I’ll leave this thread open for the time being, because it amuses me, but everyone, please remember that any contemporary criticism of the moderation staff belongs in ATMB, not here.
