Thanks, friend! I'm more ghostly than real these days when it comes to the Sift, but I do like to stop by from time to time and see how things are going. How's life?

Good! Good! I think. Crazy busy again, but live provides and even The Dude abides, on occasion. Pleased to see you keeping the lights on and the place tidy.

Hey there! I've heard the term synchronicity before (even outside of The Police's Greatest Hits) but I figured I should check the Wikipedia entry just to do something seemingly enlightened today. I then managed only to read as far as a distracting graph that read 'indestructible energy' at the top, so yes, I am synchronously indestructible and I thank you for the compliment.

I'm good! Busy as heck and missing the sift, but loving life. Old man moment: You remind me of myself, commenting about 'walking out of here' as though the Sift is a physical place, with you its custodian and Keeper of Awesome, clocking out nightly when weariness overtakes the desire for dupes and bans. I then looked at your Super Duper rank - 82 - and for me to say 'you remind me of myself' is probably akin to a worm complimenting the eagle who is busy squeezing it between its talons.

Anyway, how are you?

Are you familiar with the term synchronicity?

Last night I came across something of yours and it occurred to me it had been a while and to rectify that. A little while later having shut down for the night I was walking out of here thinking about your comment which I still consider the funniest I have ever encountered here.

Six hours later I find.... How are you sir?

BTW, I searched and found that quote in the fire tornado video comment stream and read it to all here to much laughter.

And, thank you sir.

Mighty fine work keeping the Sift clean, Sheriff.

Mighty fine work keeping the Sift clean, Sheriff.

And a Merry Christmas to you too, chich! It has been too long - my time at the Sift is sadly limited for the foreseeable future, but have a great 2011 and best of luck carrying on the janitorial torch to spot all those dupes and deads.

Consilverlations! (I have no idea when you got this, so apologies if I'm like a month late)

Heya, Lucky! Kudos for the upvote! Er, I actually don't know the Diddy quote! I was thinking of Maximus from the movie Gladiator [link] for the "are you not entertained?" yell.

In reply to this comment by lucky760:
Comment upvote for your P. Diddy quote. Teehee.

From where do you know that quote?

In reply to this comment by Kevlar:
The best part to me is this: Who is he exhorting with his display after the initial stop? Who does he want to cheer?

"YOU THERE! THE BLUE SEAT TWO ROWS IN! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? ARE? YOU? NOT? ENTERTAINED?"

Actual LOL from me while in the office! You bastard.

>> ^Kevlar:

Payback, let's say you've got kids and are about to feed your new baby some formula but for some reason it sprouts demon wings and is now circling the bedroom ceiling, its head turned sideways, shouting the chants of gods long dead. Do you shrug your shoulders, grab a stepladder and immediately shove the spoon into one of its 5 new mouths? Or do you stand back in stupefied wonder before coming up with a plan that may or may not involve a butterfly net and pruning shears?
My reading of your comment is that that people should not hesitate before aiming a hose at a tornado. I love your comments, but in this case I'd argue that the situation is truly and perversely fucked enough (and outside the realm of their normal experience) to make a slow response a little more understandable.


Oranges to apples. If one of YOUR imaginary kids suddenly proclaimed they were a demon and grabbed a pair of scissors and said their sister/brother must die. Would you go grab the camera or try to disarm them?

Any firefighter will have at least a passing knowledge of -albeit rare, but not undocumented- "fire whirls" which are observed mostly during wildfires.

I haven't found much on Google about Spontaneous Infant Demonification.

You're quite welcome!
