Yep.
Just as I feared.
I may just have to run away from home and wander aimlessly to recover from this dishonor.

If no one want to play with you, you can logout, and then "add reply" as EVEN is here, whose password is <evensteven>, who only posts on even-numbered pages in even-numbered slots.

Then you can "add reply" as your own odd self, BUT you never know when someone else will barge in and post and turn that game off. In that case, you have someone (THE interrupter) to play with.

Whenever you have a pressing truth to reveal or see a need in THE thread, or have a particularly high-minded piece of nonsense to share, you can "add reply" as WEareTHE, password <thearewe>, to speak for our false diety of Waydale, WEareTHE.

I just noticed that I'm Fact Finder for THE again! Yesterday I was Fact Finder for THEosalie!
Pam, don't fret about me and balance and raphael being different from you. Someone may be trying to foster division in the ranks! Or someone may be trying to right wrongs!
Nevertheless:
I resign my position as Fact Finder for THE!
I want to be Fact Finder for WE!
All or nothing, live free or die, 54'40" or fight, one for all and all for one!

1909 THE new U.S. Food and Drug Administration seized 40 barrels and 20 kegs of Coca-Cola syrup near Chattanooga, Tennessee, because Coca-Cola contained caffeine.
Coca-Cola hired psychologist Harry Hollingworth to study THE effects of caffeine on humans as part of its legal defense. Hollingworth's studies were models of experimental control across a broad range of conditions.

1931 Mickey Mantle was born.
Go Yankees!
"I played with him for nine years and marveled at how hard he hit and how fast he ran. How can anyone ever forget the catch he made on Gil Hodges' line drive to save Don Larsen's perfect game?"
(Former shortstop Tony Kubek)
"I remember he used to get very mad at himself if he failed to hit. I'll never forget how hard he played all the time, especially the catch he made in my perfect game."
(Don Larsen, who pitched a perfect game in the 1956 World Series)
