Yup. You'll find it.

Yep it’s a magic spot… dark, evil magic… the seat movement was very familiar  

Yeah like how does it attract, ANYTHING that falls?  Evil magic is right.

And I thought it was a device to save money as that is where a lot of my loose change always falls 

I almost never have loose change anymore, because I basically never carry cash around.  So, sadly, I never get little bonuses when I have to go down there.

Usually when you are looking for something else

It's the same here, I don’t carry cash anymore and I have to make a special trip to the ATM before I go to my barber as he only deals in cash

As it’s the first day of October here, I feel obliged to ask Spike about he feels about the Drewth still being a thing this late in the year  

I knew we could do it.  Just based on how hard Drew tried to convince me nobody would be saying it by February, I have to thank my fellow Odd Squad family for making it happen.  

The thing is, I had been arguing so much with Drew, and he'd gotten on that kick of doctoring everyone's posts, and the fake headlines, I can't even remember when exactly I started it.  I don't recall how long we used it before Drew said it was going to die out fast.  I remember that was in December.  We just gotta get through two more months and Drewth we will have made Drew wrong by 10 months.

You make it easy for me to not apologize for this.  👇

While I am ignorant of the context of this comment, it is quite clear to the rest of us that you do love Spike, truly, madly, deeply

Drew, you weren't going to apologize.  That line is so harsh, and I don't think it was even intended to be that way, which is the worst part.

Some research…

You sound like Emperor Palpatine before he got tossed down the shaft, and I don’t care what JJ Abrams said later, that dude was dead.

Ministry of Drewth at it again,

You only speak Drewth.

Don't steal Spikey's jokes.  Or he'll rant about how you are a tyrant for imposing a "joke" tax.

I freely share my humor with the world, and I love starting fads.  Let's make "Drewth" a thing in 2023!

The thing about fads is that they don't last long.  I doubt "Drewth" will last beyond January 2023!  

That’s the thing about predictions, they are usually wrong, so wrong…

Wow my dates were even a little off, and we were using it well before December.  I'm pretty sure, right after I read that post, I changed my signature to include the word Drewth.

You still should.

What's funny is, Drew minimized my objection to his hot guy tax, and yet he literally tried to get Terry to include a clause about his right to tax any cute BL guys he wanted once a year in our BL treaty.  That was his way of trying to take Mark, Neo, Khao, First (who he'd already given up ), and War.  And now Book also, just because he's part of the main cast of Only Friends.

Funny how badly this post aged... 👀

I have a no-man's land, only mine is in my car.  It's between the driver's seat and the center console.  I swear every time I drop anything ever, be it a piece of paper, a piece of food, my phone, whatever.  It doesn't land on the seat, or my lap, it always automatically falls into that black hole.  The worst part is that with it being an electrically adjustable, with the machinery bits there, its impossible to retrieve anything in there, because my hands won't fit down and you can't just reach under the seat for it.  So I have to physically get out, push the seat all the way forward, so everything is no longer blocking that spot, and then I can pick something up that fell down there. 

Yes!  That was a favorite place for my Blackberry to land (back when I had one instead of the ginormous cell phones we have now).

That’s the worst part, the phone is definitely bigger, but it still falls right down there and if I reach down to grab it, it’ll just slide further down till it’s impossible to retrieve.

Me!  I also am a person with ADHD.  Over the years, I have developed some habits that reduce the number of times something like this happens.  Unfortunately, it still happens too damned often.

I got one of those too.  I consider it my mobile time capsule.

Hi All!  Looks like you all had fun last night!

Hi @Bucket1, Great research.  Maybe we should celebrate the occasion with fireworks and a parade.  It might even become an annual event.
