[LbNA] Anti-SitRep campaign

From: (PNWEXPLR@aol.com) | Date: 2003-08-04 12:44:19 UTC-04:00
O Captain, my Captain!!!!

*saluting smartly while blinking back tears*

I hasten to join Ryan's Anti-SitRep league. "What does SitRep mean?" is
joining "What does F, P, X, V (etc) stand for?" as a perennial question on this
list. Daggum it, no one has to interpret "CT: Boxes found"!!!!!

It means someone in Connecticut took 3 steps from their front door and
tripped over one of the millions of boxes in that state.

Now I have fallen off my chair laughing! 3 steps? It took that many
to trip over a box?

Do I hear a bit of envy amongst the group?? Suz and I are from CT and we went
to Maine this weekend to track down some boxes... :-)

Or perhaps the boxes at step 1 and step 2 were "missing"?

Good point, SpringChick. I read recently on this list that people back east
have taken to hiding LBs in each other's houses---apparently all the trees &
stones in the woods are already taken...

ROFL!!!! If that were so, I would have reached 1000 boxes without having to
go out hiking! It figures that the weather here is horrible, just when I have
the TIME to go out boxing!!!!! (sigh)

See ya all this weekend! True Soccer Fan will be unable to join me in Maine
for the gather, so I'm coming solo.... He's really disappointed that I'm not
staying home with him to watch the handyman work on the condo, but he needs to
start understand the importance of boxing ;-)

Since there's seems to be such a disconcordance against the usage of THAT phrase (You know which one I'm referring to!) I'll refrain from using it in the subject line of my posts from this day forward.

No more SitReps from Rayvenhaus no moes! (grin)

Somehow, I can't seem to really have an opinion on this.
It's helpful to read them, I don't really care what they're called.
I guess I have bigger gripes elsewhere, that's all.

This one hasn't bothered me except for all the questions on
what it means. Just as long as they don't report that they
are sitting at the 'puter. Now that one is like fingernails
on a blackboard to me.
