"Well this is the tea thread - Marmite is more of a breakfast thing. :)
Greatly enjoying the advent calendar, guys - thanks to one and all. And a new tale of lost teas! Congrats on the law text, Dave: that's really cool. But sooner or later you've *got* to publish the tales as a slim pamphlet. They're brilliant little fantasies."

Thanks Mike. I think the only people who'd read the tea pamphlet would be my wife and those people here who would politely feel obliged. The law book will keep me busy enough for the next year. The publisher wants a rolling manuscript, to keep me honest. Guess, then, what I'm doing this Saturday."

Nope - it's *already* on a web site - this one! However I STILL would like to know where you get all these fabulous tea stories... Pretty please, I'll buy you a (virtual) cup of tea!"

yup. but, there are rumors abound that the message board software, like everything in this universe, has limits and this thread is about to reach it. ...just baseless rumors, but what if, one day, we wake up and the whole thread bought the farm while we're having a tea party with Lucien? is that not unlike losing a part of yourself? okay, i'm going to stop overacting now.

OMG, you can't even be bribed by a cup of tea - this must be a dark secret indeed. I'm guessing you stole them from the secret vaults of the British Museum. (right after you drugged the guard-leopard)"

Has anyone noticed the latest media circus involving NASA? Seems NASA commissioned a book refuting the unbelieving, uneducated public about the moon landings. The author comissioned to do the book, James Oberg, intends to write the book, even though NASA has pulled funding. What do you think?
Moon landings. Real or Hoax?"

yeah, those writers are too damn stubborn sometimes! err... i mean, those HANDSOME AND UNDERSTANDING writers, specially the ones who write law books *cough* quote:

for the doubters, i point you to http://www.badastronomy.com. i don't really lose much sleep over the moon landings, even if it was a government funded hoax, it was already a long time ago. we can go to the moon now. and i wasn't born yet at that time so my ego wasn't bruised if ""big brother"" lied to me.

" Hello Cptn. Harmless long time no see. I don't really know much at all about advent calendars. I just figured that ours would have 31 one days since that's how many are in december.
As for summing up the Teabags thread in 5 sentences... hmmm... tough call but I'll try.
On the surface it appears to be nothing more than a looooong conversation about tea. Yet on closer examination one sees that the conversation has and continues to shift wildly to various topics, but somehow always come back to tea in some form or other. Some think that reading too much of the thread at once can cause insanity and other wickedly naughty problems. While other feel that this thread is slowly (or not so slowly depending on who you talk to) becoming a temporal vortex, inter-dimensional portal, black hole, gravitational singularity, or some kind of bizarre anomaly that may end up reshaping the very multiverse itself. I guess you'll just have to read the whole thing and make your own decision.
There how was that?"

I like to think that the teabag thread will one day evolve into a sentient being and will roam the internet grazing on other bulletin boards.

"To: Mr. Carey
From: Fanboy loon
Dear Mr. Carey,
It distresses me to have to criticize during the holidays, but I am so outraged I feel as though I have no choice. Having completed your Inferno arc, I regret to say I was most disappointed. During the run of Lucifer, I and I am sure many other fans were treated to a wonderful character, one who would stand up for righteousness and knew no fear in the face of evil. Amandiel of the Thrones.
I realize that in these hip rebellious times, DC is trying to be ""cool"" by killing off iconic characters like an Angel who battles Hell. (see Zauriel)
The final insult came, however, when I realized that every angel who dies or falls is replaced instantly in the Silver city. Yes, this is necessary, but to choose a weak pseudo-Hispanic Kyle Rayner....oh. Sh*t. This isn't Hal Jordan, and we aren't on the GL message board.
Whoops!
Sorry....feel like an idiot.
ps. Sorry Mike, couldn't resist.
Happy Holidays All!"

while Sciborg2 is being attended to... I would like to note that the angels who stayed loyal are a pretty unlikeable lot. Not only stern Amandiel, but shrill Remiel or the (more shrill) angel in Nirvana. No angelic angels? "

""Okay everybody, it's been a long time since I got a lot of you together but there needs to be some talking about some things. A few rules the first of which would be 'Any angel planning to lead an army of their brethren in an attack of any kind must check with me first.' That's one of many things I'm going to be talking about over the next several hours. So if anyone needs to go get something to eat or drink or go to the bathroom nows the time to do it. You have five minutes to get back."""
