I choose to believe Forrest meant it kindly, samir.  To me, anyway.  He was probably struggling not to say something worse about Andy.

Yes, it was meant to be a shout out to a couple of members with astrological post counts. I have always been a big fan of Sarah. I have gone on record, though, that Andy is a Grade-A Meany.

And anyway, you're more of a harridan than a hag.

That's better. 

In any case, how can you be sure, yesno?  I may be both. 

Also, Forrest, I believe you meant "astronomical."  (That's how a harridan does it, kids.)

[Forrest]

The word is astrological. It's means like having to do with outer space and stuff. Crack a science book lately?

It's 2009, man. We don't need science.

'ought nine is off to a great start; made cinnaman buns, watched Transiberian, jogged by the lake, used up some gift cards and now I'm waitin' on a big old pot of blackeyed peas to quit simmering.

Uh, Whatever year it is we still need science if only to keep people in line.
Like religion.

Happy New Year everyone! I will always remember 2008 as the year I discovered the Best Show. That alone makes it a success.

May all of you become powercallers this year, and none end up in the hate pit (though I suppose that would kind of ruin the fun).

So long, tacky New Year's glasses...I think.

No way, next year they'll use the two 0's "2010" as the eye holes & they'll have a smaller 1 for the bridge of the nose.

This is a pretty good thread, with many of the better qualities of the FOT on display. As a starter for the 2009 year, I'd say we're putting our best collective foot forward. As long as the other shoe doesn't drop. (Is this a mixed metaphor, or a consistent one?)
