Longest Thread Ever

When I looked yesterday, this thread was near the bottom of page 1. Thanks for bumping.
I think Babe went off on a big adventure.

I hope this didn't happen:

The city was San Diego, and it was a bit warm.
 
LOL!!!!


I was thinking of starting a new thread for this post, but then I thought, Hey, why not do my part to make the longest thread even longer! (but only as long as it doesn't bypass Buckner)

So here's my question: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TEA?

mine at the moment are:
herbal - Celestial Seasons ORANGE TANGERINE ZINGER
traditional - Bigelow CONSTANT COMMENT

How about you?

My wife likes the herbal teas. Can be wonderful in some ways following the original "advice" sort of Mormonism that used to be Brigham Young's version. . . . although Brigham's Tea has never gained a popular following.
"tea" can be any leaf boiled in water and then hopefully strained, and can be a cold drink. It's what a chemist like me calls a water or steam extract, as opposed to an "elixir' which is usually, and hopefully, an ethanolic extract.

I sometimes advise a company that just dries green stuff and sells it to companies marketing it as a health drink. Nothing is heated to an extent that the herbal and nutrititonal components are changed or lost, except for some very small simple molecules that are gases a low temperatures. . . .

Few people, even scientists, actually understand photosynthesis or realize how many highly-reduced carbon compounds, meaning compounts that have a lot of carbon-carbon double bonds and molecular orbitals with the capacity to store and transfer energy from some wavelength of light or another to the central chlorophyll structure providing the capacity to reduce carbon dioxide in one or more of it's several steps towards becoming a molecule of sugar or something. . . . Every one of these compounds belongs to the general class known as anti-oxidants, and is therefore good for expecially the animals that can actually digest the leaves. . . . . which we can only partially do, and might get sick from it if we eat too much. . . .

The side effects of most concern for humans are liver toxicity and skin hypersensitivity to sunlight. . . ..

which should also reasonably be considered as possible effects from excess tea drinking when the stuff is made by boiling tea bags.
 
Why can't this thread be longer than Buckner? It is THE LONGEST THREAD EVER, after all.

I intend to continue to be an enthusiastic contributor to Buckner, as soon as I realize what the rules are. But I like this one better, on account of it's having a subject and rules I can actually understand. . . .
 
An old Indian had never seen tea. One day, a friend took him off the reservation to a restaurant. The Indian ordered iced tea. When he tasted the tea, he thought it was so good that he drank the whole glass and ordered another. He kept drinking and ordering the iced tea all night.

In the morning, they found him drowned in his tea pee.

I'm not quite sure, but although there may have been a joke in this story, it would certainly have been true if the Indian had done this. But unfortunately, it would not have gotten that deep before simple water toxicity would have killed him outright.

the skin and liver effects would have taken longer to become serious. . . .
 
This thread is kind of like the Utah Jazz...I'm afraid we're witnessing a long, tortuous death.
Back in the good old days, I'd be away from the keyboard for an hour or so, come back, and three pages would have been added in my absence. Now, we have to bump the thread to keep it relevant.

well, I was afraid I'd have to dig it out of page four or something. . . . so I'm actually impressed you guys did more than a hundred contributions in here, with about eight contributors. Not bad at all.
 
i thought you ment lack of derection and fighting desire. do we even have an offense? does this thread even have a porpose?

in other new: my wife and I just bought a house.

Good move, JGolds. Good interest rates, and in a market where major fund investors have been acquiring large holdings, for rental and resale purposes. When rates go up and home construction begins again, and rents start to decline, there will be another sag in the price, and eventually the price will have to find an equilibrium with both a reasonable interest rate and people's actual earnings. . . . both still dangerous for dropping the house prices. . . . but if you now need a house, and can afford the payment, and it beats the rent you're paying, just hang tough with it. eventually the resurgence of inflation will make you glad you did this.
 
@JGolds
You are correct sir; we lack desire and direction. And as you'll see, it's mainly the old vets who throw up post after post. But you have committed a couple of spelling errors, so please take a seat - maybe we'll give you more PT (posting time) in a week or so.


As a joke, this deserves rep.

but I'm not Corbin, and on my team you can chuck a post from anywhere on the floor, and as long as it sticks on the postcount, I'll be playing you 60/24/365.
 
The grammar nazi is colton. Maybe JGolds and colton are the same.
I think all mods need alts. They create a lot of enemies supervising the board. Alts would allow them to have some friends.

I'll never create an alt; I'm having a hard enough time staying in the top-10 in post count. Don't have time to also keep up with an alt.

On the other hand, you could fool people with that. Two posters with, say 15K and 10K, and a third with 2K would give you the secret satisfaction of beating PKM without stimulating him to just outdistance you all. . . .
