and, while I’m grousing, is anyone else getting almost 75% ‘page not found’ on initial attempts to open a thread. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s putting **quite** the damper on my count. Or, maybe that’s it, it’s an evil plot by the forces of Evil [sup]TM[/sup] to maintain my low -anonymous type profile here.

Whoa. What’s really odd is that I’m seeing this thread on the front page here on February 12, 2002. How appropriate that it should resurface now, right after January’s “benevolent” Antarean invasion of Earth. Oh, had we only known then what we do now! ---

> [@](#): > > Sorry there, hit “edit” when I meant to hit “quote.” Oh, _suuure_, TubaDiva. Obviously, Bosda’s _complete_ post revealed the Truth about the Straight Dope/Philadelphia Project/Grays nexus, and Cecil’s top-secret time vortex experiments! After all, what’s Cecil’s slogan? “Fighting ignorance since 1973 (it’s taking longer than we thought).” Clearly, a strong interest–nay, an _obsession_–with time. [Cecil]The fools! The cursed armies of ignorance! I’ve been at this for twenty-eight years–_twenty-eight years!_ I’ll go back in time and kill all their grandfathers! They will not call me “mad” then, oh no! MUA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA![/Cecil] Of course, “Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor” has probably been replaced by an alien replicant by now. ---
