I note that "the Mother of All Bs Threads" and the "Mither of all BS threads" are at least momentarily SIDE by SIDE today!!!!!!!!

This is incredibly cool, and it may be the Missing Link between all that went before and all that is yet to come!

Savor it. It probably won't last long.

It's like an alignment of the planets!
Wonder what it portends Little Hawk?

That is the burning question that confronts all of us on this auspicious occasion! It's STILL there!

Ach, I must gie this as an example o' gud Scots poetry:

Thow Lazarus, thow laithly lene tramort,
To all the warld thow may example be,
To luk vpoun thy gryslie, peteous port;
For hiddowis, haw, and holkit is thyne ee,
Thy cheikbane bair and blaiknit is thy ble.
Thy choip, thy choll garris men for to leif chest;
Thy gane, it garris ws think that we mon de.
I coniure thee, thow hungert Heland gaist.

Mauch muttoun, byt buttoun, peilit gluttoun, air to Hilhous,
Rank beggar, ostir dregar, flay fleggar in the flet.
Chittirlilling, ruch rilling, lik schilling in the milhous,
Baird rehator, theif of nator, fals tratour, feyindis gett,
Filling of tauch, rak sauch cry crauch! Thow art oursett.
Muttoun dryver, girnall ryver, yadswyvar, fowll fell thee!
Herretyk, lunatyk, purspyk, carlingis pet,
Rottin crok, dirtin dok - cry cok, or I sall quell the!

That's from William Dunbar's Flyting with Walter Kennedy. Grand, ain't it?
