I read that meat thread over again, ... So many lovely names going by, though -- wonderful to remember them.
I particularly enjoyed the exchanges between nonsuch and Slick Willy -- what firework, what passion!
Didn't Markbo have a bet on with rasmus about the coming economic collapse in the U.S.? As in, Markbo didn't believe there was one coming, and rasmus was explaining to him how it was?
Yes, they bet $5 -- I wonder if rasmus ever collected? Somehow I doubt it.
