Scarlet Pimpernel

Yup...January 2019 is what I assume you're referring to from "almost 2 years ago". And anything would beat the 1.5" slush that I got last year for the "largest" event (and about 2" total for the season, woo-hoo!). ETA: Oh, and I think some people forget just how bad it was in December 2015, when we had a +11 degree departure from normal for the month. Just let that sink in for a moment. Eleven. Degrees. Above. Normal. When it's unpleasantly muggy and damp on Christmas Eve, you know December sucks. Thank God that kind of departure didn't happen in July! Of course, a few weeks later we had a storm for the ages, but anyhow...

I hear you on that! Would be nice to not trash the entire weekend with more rain, rain, rain (not like we need more terribly much!)...have that move out quickly and potentially allow some chance of snow early next week (even if small), would be great about now.

Ha! I was just about to write the same exact thing! (ETA: Well, almost...wouldn't really want to "call it a winter" after that in December. But I know what you mean!)

What is this "winter" you speak of???

This year...it's actually good to know there are some things that are consistent and expected (even the content of Ji's posts)!!

I guess the transience was overdue!!

Is that the Holiday display for the Panic Room this year? Looks cool! It would be a nice welcome for all those cliff-jumping lost souls at Christmas. Maybe some spiked eggnog at the door, too, when you go in! And perhaps a skeletal Santa... And folks...we have our 2nd Griswold finalist!! The competition looks fierce! Any other entries??

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Griswold finalist!

Yes, seems to be the problem around these parts all too often! And this early in the season, especially. But still nice to see potential out there instead of wall-to-wall Pac puke with no end. Positive signs...for now, at least!

That looks awesome! I almost feel hungry again and I ate not too long ago! And a "traditional Thanksgiving" is what you make of it, really, that's all that should matter. I hope you all had a good one!!!

Glad you stopped by and put these people right! Whew! Be glad you missed some of the things shown there earlier, including the infamous Vienna sausages and Spaghetti-Ohs! And I'm sure you appreciate only the best sausage, eh? (apologies...sort of!...on the double-entendre there, seems RR took control of the keyboard!)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'll try not to get overly political in here, and will only say that I strongly disagree.

Reminds me of that "Seinfeld" episode where they realize Kramer isn't wearing any underwear... Jerry: Don't you see what's goin' on here? No boxers, no Jockeys... (Elaine backs away from Kramer, disgusted) Jerry: The only thing between him and us is a thin layer of gabardine...Kramer, say it isn't so. Kramer: Oh, it be so. (Jerry turns his head in disgust) Kramer: I'm out there, Jerry, and I'm lovin' every minute of it.

Destroying weenie snow hopes since...oh, hell, whatever century!

Can we add a "WTF?!" button to the emoji list, or as one of the reactions for posts??

Whew! Well, that's good to know! I did hear that the "Marrow"vingians might be immune, too! At least, that was a rather "Frank" assessment!

Quite impressive on the outdoor improvements to the Panic Room! I await the disco room, which should be hoppin' this year! (ETA: Yeah, they're not wearing masks nor are they socially distanced! Probably not good to be scapula-to-scapula like that!)

Change "NAM" to "DGEX" or "CRAS" and you're spot on!!

OK, somehow that looks like a meal bizarro-world @Mrs.J might concoct (or she'd have to be high on acid)!! (with all due respect, Mrs. J, all in humor here!)

Ha! That might be difficult. However, a BLT sandwich with fine champagne is actually quite a good pairing!

Ha, that seems to be our problem all too often! But nice to see something interesting out there at least. Good to see you Stormtracker, hope all is well!

Indeed...that only makes it *worse*!!

Vienna sausages and spaghetti-Os is a bit too far just by itself!

Oh...no, no, no...you did NOT! You DID! Such desecration of bacon shall not be tolerated!! Spam, on the other hand...(spam, spam, spam, spam, SPAM! Wonderful spam! Thank you, Monty Python!)
