That and I think the whole thing just flew over TBs head. Best stick with star talk.

What triggered it was the use and capitalization of "SO", It triggered a voice over of strongbad.

TB, start looking far to the left, over your head, and off to the side. You just might find it.

Today is the First Day of Summer!

In Middle-Earth reckoning (both by the Hobbits and the Dunedain), the summer solstice appears to fall on what they call "Mid-Year's Day".

SO... Happy Mid-Year's Day everybody!

And... since I happen to make this on the thread's 1000th post, let's shut this one down and someone else can start up the next incarnation of...

The Teacup Cafe!
