meh. i came to this thread not knowing what to do. eventually, i decided that making a post might be a good idea. so then i thought, "what will i post about in this incredibly random thread?". I could post about anything that came to mind, from cheese, to llamas, to uniform changes, to Battlestar Galactica. (BTW, bears beets battlestar galactica). I eventually decided I would just start posting, and hope that the true meaning of whatever I was supposed to post would come to me as I wrote the message. I wandered along in the post for what seemed like years, punching keys, for gods sake it took forever. As I went along i began to wonder: "Will this mean anything in the end? Will anyone care what was posted in a thread about nothing?" And i pondered that question for what seemed like days. Eventually it dawned on me the truth. There was no thread. Only the deep inner meaning of what was contained within is what matters. And then i was forced to wonder, what is the deeper inner meaning of what I was about to post? This troubled me, as there seemed to be no meaning at all, but i knew there must be some reason I'd been pressing this seemingly random series of keystrokes to come up with this long and winding message. I then began to wonder: If there is no meaning in this post, is there meaning in any of my posts? Or yet, is there any meaning anywhere on this board, or is everything here completely meaningless. I decided, as much for my sanity as anything else, that there must be some meaning, even if it was not readily apparent. And therefore, my life's goal (at least for the next 30 seconds) will be to figure out the meaning of cyclonefanatic.... and if i fail.... oh, well... **** it.

I'm suprised by the high cost of the Ten Lords-a Leaping. Twelve drummers drumming is a much better deal at nearly half the cost.
