“Barry,” my cousin Mike said, “I think it’s time.” It was clear that my brother didn’t feel the same way, but he only shrugged, which Mike took as agreement. “Dave,” he said, giving the words as much gravity as he could muster, “Go get the dictionary.” I was nine years old, and a tag-along. I’d walked in on my brother telling a story about how—during school that morning—a girl he knew got her period in the middle of French class. And I laughed like the dickens. And then they called me on it. After I’d lugged the dictionary down from the spare room, Mike told me to look up the word period and read out the definition. “The end of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action?” “Keep going,” he said. “The full pause with which a sentence closes?” “Not that.” “An interval of geologic—“ “Gimme that!” He yanked the book towards him, read down the page, and pointed me towards the definition he’d found.

Dis!
I got nothin;.
So get off your ass and write something amusing, dammit.
Yeahsoanyways. True, I've been a bit negligent here. I've been sitting on a Bermuda post for about two weeks, and hopefully I'll have that up some day soon. To be honest though, I've never chucked up Discuss Amongst Yourselves without the intention to follow it up with actual content shortly thereafter. But then I get lazy or drunk, and therefore sidelined.
All that aside, I just feel sad when there's nothing new from you.
(And I like posting comments, because sometimes the word verification thing makes me enter a suggestively dirty nonsense word, and that always makes me happy.)
