‘I had rather be stuck in Festival than to have to read the first 100 “I’m In” posts.

I feel the same...what’s the point?”
Well, first it’s a chance for people to say thank you to ransomnote our MOD for all she does. I did not say thank you this time, so thank you ransomnote.
Second every time someone says “In like Flynn” or “In like Flint, or in before my age, my IQ, my waist, etc etc, I still laugh even though it’s silly. That’s just it, it’s silly and it’s brevity which we need. But how can you not laugh at the dinosaur needing “tree fiddy?”
Petey (who feels like a Noonan tonight hahahahah. Hope the cocktails are good and let’s just be nice lol)
Thanks. I really don’t want to offend anyone with my “In” posts. I always view them as a sign of camaraderie and a thank you to ransomnote for keeping them rolling.
I believe it’s part of the WWG1WGA aspect of our thread. Similar to greeting each other at a dinner party. Sometimes it is key to abandoning the stress/conflict state of mind at the end (or middle) of the prior thread, and having a mental “reset” before going into the new thread. It’s sort of a “Break time” before resuming the chase for knowledge. It’s been 1.5 + years and new threads are sometimes an opportunity for a mini break.
No one need thank me; ya’ll have thanked me enough. I appreciate seeing the FReeQs arrive and having the thread being populated with friendly faces quickly. Just my 2.
