Thanks to Quis for calling and closing the last thread

Yet Another Kill This Thread!

The following rules were established by Kent at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!

2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.

3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.

4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

Oh you won't win this one so easily by starting it on a Sunday

If I were sneaky I'd have stared it while it was 3AM in the Western Hemisphere

You almost won again if I had been late to work this morning

Next time I'll mess with the traffic in your area.

I don't drive

Traffic can affect public transport too.

Unless it's the train...

It's a train. A subway train to be precise. Although some of the subway trains also go along on the streets for part of the way, the one I take does not. So there.

Quis, the Orange Line is horrible. The trains leak in the rain from the roof in cars.

Quiz and his train are taunting me.

I use the Red Line. I am headed into town from Dorchester. A coworker takes it from Porter. She always has trouble.

The trains where I live have malfunctioned often in the past few years.

Constant cost cutting is taking its toll on my commute in the mornings. Points failure today.

I have gotten quite a lot of credit card points.

I loved this Movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed953dd3Qsg

The last movie from that era I saw was Something else else For Everyone. It's pretty dated, but hey-- it had a young Michael York in shorts, so that's something. Angela Lansbury pretty much ran away with the whole film. I love her.

Something else else for Everybody is the title of a Devo album that I'm quite partial to.

I'm having something for breakfast.

Rugrats Theme by Mark Mothersbaugh

I always wondered if they were called Rugrats, because they spend a lot of time crawling on rugs.

"Rugrat" is a common slang term for a small child.

I only ever heard it refer to the kid's cartoon.

I heard the term in a cartoon other than Rugrats.

Rugrats is better than Carpetvermin

Verminous Skumm is a Captain Planet villain.

Paramount and Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way Productions are teaming to recruit Captain Planet to take pollution down to zero in a new movie.

The memes came alive when Leo finally won an Oscar.

Nara Leao is still remembered in her homeland as "The Muse of Bossa Nova," almost 30 years after her death.

In mythology, there are 9 Muses.

I hear that the Martian ice cream at Nine Planets Ice Cream Shoppe is out of this world Yumm!

Apparition's favorite flavor was Bgztlian Blue.

My fave non-hipster ice cream place closed its doors in September. Someone new owns the place, but last time we were there, they still hadn't worked out all the bugs. We never did get our ice cream. [grumble]

The Howard Johnson's restaurant chain sold 28 flavors of ice cream. I remember their vanilla fondly.

I would not want to go to an ice cream parlor that has bugs

I went to the world's best gelato store. They won the award at least twice. I had the cinnamon and dark chocolate flavors, among others.

Square.

Quis, roadtrip to Ben & Jerry's Vermont HQ???

Rather go to Hodgies in Amesbury and Salisbury. Their Kiddie cone has 3 scoops.

Annabelle's in Portsmouth is delicious as well.

I had a coupon for the supermarket-brand take of Cherry Garcia. It's okay.

I feel like I should go take a pic of myself eating ice cream in the snow, just because.

Blaze went to the Swiss Alps, took off his shirt, and took a picture. Then some tourists spotted him and took a picture with him, too.

Show-off.

I just wonder where that pic of his will end up...

Imagine what would have happened if he took off his pants too.

We sort of did that once, at a foam party we attended.

Twice actually. The first time was a disaster. The second was better.

Hm, I do think I've won!
