catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "They could just be super busy and (13) forgotten about all these beleagured little I & O's. Like some catty's who shall remain nameless to the point of obscurity."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Or, like me, they could have a new granddaughter and have been terribly (14) busy and are struggling to ballance life, and WDC."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Or, perhaps they simply (15) have too many other silly comments weighing them down to the point they rush in and post 7 or 8 times and then vanish into the vapors of forgetfullness."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Until the urge to type has (16) dwindled as the sands through an hourglass and so they just fade away for a bit..."

Mr Zaborskii says "Wow! (17!) Somebody's got this whole posting-a-lot thing down! Anyways, your hypotheses do sound reasonable. If they all spontaneously had grandchildren, that would explain the sudden lack of attention we're receiving."

Steve Ellen says "And it would explain the global diaper shortage! (18!)"

Steve Ellen says "And why very late at night I hear the sound of a baby crying coming out of my fireplace chimney! (19!)"

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "The fireplace chimney? (20) It should have been coming from the crawlspace between the roof and the rafters. Hmmm...."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Or at the very least the Attic. (21) Chimney's simply won't do for wailing banshees - not babies - and while I'm on the subject, shouldn't someone be in here sprucing up the ole' castle?"

Steve Ellen says "Well yeah! TSC should be doing that. But you know what? He hasn't the slightest idea of what's going on here. There was a massive spacetime warp in his head and this In&Out and everybody in it was shifted into his subconscious mind. "

Steve Ellen says "Now we can only influence him indirectly - make him trip, spill things, stutter - that kind of stuff. Fun, but not like the old days when we could just reach out and slap him in the head."

Steve Ellen says "(24) This is progressing nicely. Sonn we can all go home. "

Mr Zaborskii says "When we reach 100, we should just stop. (25)"

Steve Ellen says "(26) Of course! That's always been my intention. I don't intend to spend one minute longer in this spooky old castle than I have to. I worry that Abbot and Costello will pop out of a closet, or even worse... Scooby Doo."

Steve Ellen says "(27) Which is three times nine and that rhymes with vine and that's no tree! But nine is tree times tree so maybe it is! 3x3x3 is the most magical arithmetic. It will cure a cold, remove warts, and tenderize a tough steak. Need a lovespell? Mutter 3x3x3!"

Singular Scribbler says "I thought it was Love Potion #9? (28) Sadly, this situation tempts the sadist in me."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Ah, Sadie - alas Steve knew her well, very well, too well in fact. (29) So, what do you think Steve's going to do when he discovers Sadie has made it into this alternate universe without even tripping TSC?"

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Because (30) we all know that TSC would definately trip over a sadist named Sadie who was looking for Steve, right?"

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Or even looking at Steve (31) for that matter."

Steve Ellen says "(32) The age everyone hates to be. At 32 it becomes irrefutable that you are no longer in your twenties, that you are no longer young in a truly young way."

Steve Ellen says "(33) The age of acceptance when you finallycomplete the passage into adulthood knowing that you can never be more adult than you have become at the age of 33. More people achieve great things at age 33 than at any other age."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(34) The age that you know BS when you hear it!!!"

Steve Ellen says "(35) The age that is exactly halfway to 70, although why you would want to be exactly halfway nobody knows."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Because, (36) is on the downhill slide to 40's?"

Mr Zaborskii says "(37) You still have a good amount of your youth, but you can tell that time is running out."

Steve Ellen says "(38) Now you know you aren't going to amount to nearly as much as you thought you would. But that's OK. Because it's not like there aren't a few scraps of happiness to cling to."

Mr Zaborskii says "(39) You're starting to lose your scraps of happiness, one scrap at a time."

Steve Ellen says "(40) A huge scrap goes on your 40th birthday. 40? How can this be possible? Seems like just yesterday you thought 40-year-old people were way too old to date."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(41) And then you forget what dating was all about."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(42) and time begins to speed up on you, like a time warp."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(43) Years begin to zing by like weekends."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(44) Pretty soon you're approaching the big five-oh."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(45) The checker never even pretends to ask you for your proof of age anymore."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(46) kids at the park wonder who's your grandkid and why do you smell funny?"

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(47) And you start to hate the music these young punks listen to...."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(48) And if you were to try dancing your knee would dislocate, your ankle would give way, you'd be in bed for 3 days because you threw your back out..."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(49) Suddenly you realize you're the same age your parents were when you graduated from high scholl."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(50) Spelinnng stpos beeinng soo impurtante."

Mr Zaborskii says "Damn, you think. (51) That decade felt like a day."

Steve Ellen says "(52) And then you see the years spilled out on the floor before you like 52-card pickup, and you realize you have played with time in an erratic, irresponsible way, but there will be no redeal, no do over... this is it, baby!"

Mr Zaborskii says "(53) so you buy a motorcycle."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(54) or a Big huge RV that you can't see over the steering wheel to drive and head down the road with a humongus trailer full of off road vehicles -and a golf cart."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(55) or a three wheeled trike motorcycle that costs more than ghetto houses do."

Mr Zaborskii says "So, at the ripe age of (56), you finally decide to get one of those Gestapo cycles and see it if helps you pick up one... last... girl. Or if you have a wife, you beg her to take a ride with you."

Steve Ellen says "(57) The doctor says you have hemorrhoids from too much sitting on the inadequate seats of cycles but it's too late. You've already shaved your head, grown a goatee, and tattooed "I'm a mean mother#&^*er" on your biceps."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(58) rears its ugly head because that barbed wire tatoo on your chest is starting to look like a picket fence."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(59) and then you're haulin butt around the corner racing on into the 60's..."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(60) which is a good decade cause I was born in it!"

Small says "What the devil is with all these numbers?"

Steve Ellen says "(62) Number 4 explains the rest."

Mr Zaborskii says "(63) A number mentioned several times in your math classes. In fact, it was drilled into your head. 7x9, or 7x3x3. You just never thought you would come to the point where your math classes became somewhat relevant to something in real life."

Mr Zaborskii says "Small! You're back! This completely invalidates the eulogy of sorts I gave on number nine. Anyways, (64) by now, you couldn't care less that your age is 4 cubed or 8 squared, or 1x2x4x8. You're just getting sick of mathematics and very sick of numbers."

Small says "Yes, I'm back. Like an ingrown toenail, you think you've gotten rid of me, then I return to tourment you once again! Oh, and (65), I guess."

Singular Scribbler says "I apologize for what I am about to say. It is a direct result of an altered (66) state of mind resulting from exhaustion bolstered by water and oreos."

Singular Scribbler says "The best way to forget a thought is to replace it with one more garish. And so, I propose (67) the subject of bestiality! I'll start! Did you hear about the guy who let his friend record his "interactions" with a horse? "

Singular Scribbler says "I think it's best we learn (68) from his example and avoid certain activities that will result in painful death and being ripped a new one. I shall conclude my statements with an apology to the rating and all others involved. "

Steve Ellen says "(69) Actually, I had already committed myself to avoiding activities that result in painful death. I even made a little poster about it and hung it on my wall. Although in MY poster it was not a horse, it was a crocodile."

Dad says "(70) gives you irrefutable proof that you are one old dude (or dudette) now. There is good news here. You are now able to wear knee-high socks and sandals on the beach! Why you want to is beyond me, but I still have 18 years to go before I find out."

Steve Ellen says "(71) OK, you are just going through the motions now. It's pretty obvious the hot breath on the back of your neck must be The Grim Reaper."

Mr Zaborskii says "(72) But the Grim Reaper has stopped coming here, so you can relax for a while."

Steve Ellen says "And at (73) relaxing is about the only thing you are still good at. You stumble when you walk, mumble when you talk, drool when you eat, and half the time your clothes are on inside out and backwards."

Dad says "But, at (74) the great-grandkids think the idea that someone born in the 1930's and they're still alive is either cool, unbelievable, or a bald-faced lie, they just haved decided. "

Dad says "And, at (75) you still drool less, but only slightly less, than the great-great-grandkids."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "Or at least by (76) the pudding you eat is no longer considered old people food because you don't consider yourself old."

Steve Ellen says "(77) You are able to spend all day thinking how remarkable it is to see two sevens together. It's like the seventh son of the seventh son. You almost forget to be excited when your nurse tells you your oatmeal has cinnamon in it today."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "(78) Wait, are those Tums in your pocket or are you just happy to see Jello?"

Dad says "you are ecstatic when you turn (79), until you remember the magic number was 69."

Mr Zaborskii says "It's weird how everything slowed down here from about 60 onward. (80) I guess after a certain age, you just stop doing stuff."

Dad says "Although at (81) you have convinced yourself that you have not slowed down. No, no, you are going the same speed. It's the world that has sped up."

Small says "Labor disgraces no man, but occasionally men disgrace labor."

Dad says "Not exactly sure how that fits in with the topic of conversation, but what the hell! At (83), you often find yourself throwing bits of wisdom into the conversation that nobody knows how the hell they hell they fit, any way!"

Steve Ellen says "Big Brother. See the connection? It's a Brave New World. At 84 you don't worry about bits of wisdom, you just throw bits of anything."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "At (85) you're just glad you can still throw!"

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "at (86) you just care if you can still get up and go."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "at (87) you're sort of forgetful on whether you've already gone or not!"

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "at (88) you're just plain forgetful."

Steve Ellen says "(89) You forget whether you are forgetful or not."

Small says "At (90) you've fallen and can't get up."

Singular Scribbler says "Ah, yes. But, at (91) you get your fourth wind. "

Steve Ellen says "(92) Although you keep insisting you are 99."

Dad says "Finally, after waiting more than 50 years, yiou finally, finally, at last get to say that, once again you are around 39 (93)"

Steve Ellen says "(94) Now 100 is looking very doable!"

Dad says "But at (95) you wonder if it's worth the effort."

Singular Scribbler says "At (96) you realize fighting the inevitable would be too much work. So, you sit and wait for time to take you."

Dad says "At (97) it's getting closer and closer, but it's not here yet!"

Steve Ellen says "(98) Yet it could hardly be closer without making you stumble. It's like the Grim Reaper, breathing on your neck and pointing his finger at a rectangular hole out in the orchard under the apple tree."

Dad says "At (99) there is a question of can you make it? Great-greataunt didn't. Should we let Steve post next? Only time will tell!"

Singular Scribbler says "I think it's only fitting that the person who caused all this be the one to finish. (100) lines of blood sweat and tears. I think we all deserve a reward. Truffles anyone? "

Steve Ellen says "Yes, please. My reward will be not having to post in this In&Out anymore now. It's in a bad neighborhood and I tremble with fear every time I come here."

Mr Zaborskii says "You racist bastard..."

Steve Ellen says "You see what I mean? The things you hear on the streets around here. It's not safe for decent folk. I don't know what keeps drawing me back. I must have a death wish."

Dad says "If it's not safe for decent folk, you should be safe. You did say decent folk."

catty WDC since 2003 Whew! says "That's right, Steve - you couldn't be considere folk if you tried for a hundred nano-seconds."

Singular Scribbler says "That's not very long. Still, it may be too much for the old sod. I heard the engine's dying on him at random intervals. Must be hard when you're trying to get in with the indecent folk. "

Lord Raith says "*Peeks head around door* "Bloody hell, you all are still around? What in the name of the Nine have you all been doing here?"

Dad says "Counting to 100. I think it took us 5 months!"

Lord Raith says "I miss this place. It was like home away from home. Even the massively mutated spiders were friendly to me here."

Steve Ellen says "Perhaps you can find a home away from your home away from home. Probably never find spiders like these anywhere else though. How do you feel about other invertebrates?"

Dad says "He thinks they are all spineless cowards."

Small says "Bazinga."
