Why Is FR Comedy Central Today?

I'm a long time FR veteran and I've noticed this happens once in a blue moon. I've never been able to ascertain the reason why, but it's fun to conjecture.

There are more than enough reasons to cry but laughter keeps the brain full of endorphins and sharpens the mind for the battles ahead.

Is it the hurricane?

The name Issac means laughter! It's laughter is directed to Tampa.

Another poopy thread.

I'm going to post, just in case this thread goes to 1000+ posts, I want my first one in the single digits.

You never know where a thread will go....

Again it happened - now WE posted at the exact same time!!

Actually, the blue moon is this Friday.

A blue moon is 2 full moons in one month.

Won’t happen again until July 2015 if I am correct.

'today' ?

I've been hangin' around here for 13yrs and it's always been like that .. lol !

One of FR's best (and sanity-retaining) features, imho.

See post 4 and 5 - same time! And it happened, also, to the time of the post before you!!

"...this happens once in a blue moon. "

Is there a blue moon?

I noticed that yesterday and commented on it. Every thread was open season for a new comedy routine. I think everyone, if they feel like I do, is weary of the Romney strife (not counting the disrupting trolls) and the doom and gloom wreaked by the Obama Depression. Lots of tension also building toward election day. Besides there’s more to life than politics.

Lighten up Francis. :~)

yeah, I love this. August starts with a full moon and ends with one.

I guess it was perfect timing for Neil Armstrong to pass away between two full moons.

Weekend crap.

I want to see protestors standing in pouring rain in Tampa. It’ll be the cleanest they’ve been, machetes and all, in months.

Maybe it is a release of steam. There were VERY heated back and forths last week due to the Akin fiasco. Seems like a truce has been called, so now we can relax and play a little.

[Delta 21]

yep !

[Pharmboy]

Did they reprise the poopy diaper pool thread? Now THAT was funny...

“There are more than enough reasons to cry but laughter keeps the brain full of endorphins and sharpens the mind for the battles ahead.”

Well, today I've had two hydrocodone for pain, and I misread your sentence. I saw it as, ...keeps the brain full of endorphins and sharpens the mind for the bodies ahead.” I thought why would we have bodies, then reread it.

I've read FR most of the day, so who knows how much of it I misread. I just double checked - I am on FR, that much I know is true.
