Please erase all Open Threads for Sept 3rd!

It was a mess and I like that to be cleaned off from the earth of blogs.
Thank You.

Doesn't take much, but I sure couldn't write in German so I can understand your difficulty.
No pressure to continue trying.

Any one out there interested in Friday's AM OT? You can write whatever you want, whenever you want and just put it in the scheduler.

QMS has bravely been trying to organize the OTs.

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

Don't feel bad. I once did the same thing by the copy / paste snafu. Somehow posted a previous OT by mistake. Wondered why there were so many comments when I logged in. Got razzed a bit about there being a time warp (think it was a month previous, maybe a year?) There is a learning curve involved, but it gets easier with practice. Appreciate your efforts!

G'day mate.

Thanks QMS.

One day I will write my memoirs. In English. And I will kill myself after it is published. Wink

This is the coach of the New England Patriots at a news presser ..

“I would just point out that I don’t know what the number is — you guys can look it up, you have the access to a lot of information — but the number of players, coaches, and staff members that have been infected by COVID in this training camp who have been vaccinated is a pretty high number. So I wouldn’t lose sight of that.”

“We have other players on the team who are not vaccinated, as I would say probably every other team in the league. And we’ve had minimal, but throughout the league there’ve been a number of, quite a high number I would say, of players who have had the virus who have been vaccinated. So your implication that the vaccination solves every problem, I would say that has not been substantiated, based on what has transpired in training camp this year. That’s all.”

perfect Open Thread could/can be an empty one, the tabla rasa effect, pattern matching to empty mind free association.

Janis did marvelous work with the

Link
     Excerpt 

pattern. Though it presents endless possibilities, what came to mind for me with my morning music derangement syndrome is:

Link Wray

There were, of course, multiple links. The plural of Link is NOT Lynx, which is a pity, because here's a lynx

Sleepy Lynx, Yorkshire

That leaves one link, the third which could be Richard the third or third base ("I don't know" according to "who's on first", which would simply confuse all of us, which might be a worthy endeavor, but I digress) or somebody's third symphony but who (no, who's on first) maybe Sibelius, but that runs half an hour or so.

@enhydra lutris
please stay deranged. You are the best doctor for helpiing patients with an obsessive arrangement syndrome. I will be your first patient. I am so sick and tired to arrange other peoples messy things. Literally everywhere I worked I had to arrange their mess. I had only one job, where I didn't have to arrange something. Out of desperation to have nothing to arrange, I arranged for my boss to be fired. You better give me something to arrange, otherwise I am getting a little deranged. /S

Thank You for your kindness. Can you compose a music video to praise my (our) love for C99p ?
