Inane Idea? You be the Judge

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News - Homefront Preparations : One Thread

This forum, which I am really fond of, has not exactly been a hotbed of lively discussion of late. So what I am proposing is a round-robin arrangement, where each of us after a two day period comes up with the most interesting event/thought/remembrance/whatever/ that has occurred to him/her during that two days. The person in question then gets to choose the person-in-charge for the following two days, til all the regulars here have "done their duty." (OG has to be exempt, because of her continuous service above and beyond the call.)

If this idea is agreeable, I will volunteer to be first. Courage may be involved, such as imagining thought balloons over the heads of the membership, with the words "that's fucking it?" in each one. Nevertheless, no one has dared question the raw courage of this fine group, have they.

So what do you all think?

Well, Peter, it's spring and speaking strictly for myself, there's a lot to do in the garden. I love cyberspace, but given the choice, I'd rather be outside digging in the dirt. Given our uncertain times, I feel compelled to plant a decent-sized veggie garden this year, so as the weather warms up, I'll be on the boards a lot less. I'm sure I'm not the only one . . .

Oh thank God you gave me a dispensation. I'd never be able to keep up with it. But, unknowing, I started a good hot topic just now. I'm sure we've all got thoughts on what could happen. I was reading a piece on Black September here and it reminded me of the oil embargoes in the early seventies and the mayhem that went along with all of that at the time, that's what got me started. We tend to smudge the memories of what happened, but after reading this piece I started thinking about Leon Klinghoffer and the Achille Lauro. Bastards.

OK, SAR, let's start it. I will keep track of the most interesting whatever in my life the next two days, Mon. and Tues. Look for pure dynamite on Tues night, I hope. Then you can do the next two days.
