Early today, I don't usually see this thread for another 3 hours, what's the occasion?
We have tried to start the thread at 12 PST for the last month for a couple of reasons:
1) I'm up at that time.
2) People in other time zones like the UK, Iraq, and Taiwan are experiencing the Friday Thrill in full bloom.
3) It get things going.
4) Dallas59, Martin_Fierro, and Allegra make a mean Long Island Iced Tea. It's hard to find good bartenders at this time of the day.
and finally...
5) I'm at my oddest at night.
