... I've noticed a disturbing trend here. At any point in time, when a thread looks like this
people.tribe.net/torroid/p...a9f0c8960e
the probability goes up that that thread is done.

So, I'm going to turn this into an opportunity for us. I'm now taking nominations for which tribes I should join and work this delicate magic. Of course, while I'm out there frantically trying to post the last three entries in a nested thread, I'll be extolling the virtues of this here weekend getaway, which will swell the ranks of this tribe, eventually draining all other tribes of their population and swelling this one to encompass the world. Being the original members of this tribe (as of 4:51pm PST on May 10th, 2008), the swarming teeming masses writhing on the ground in pain, agony, ecstasy, desperation, and longing, will all look up to us as their higher beings, worthy of adoration and worship.

Hey, this sounds like Burning Man.

p.s. Any of us original members that want to join the swarming teeming ... etc ... feel free. Just shower when you come back.
