Hey kids,
In celebration of our third birthday, we've wiped the slate clean. Now Tiny Cans of Dr Pepper once again mean something.
Everyone got one can for celebration, like if you were in school and it was your birthday and you had to bring cookies for the whole class.
Everyone who wished the board a happy birthday in the appropriate thread got an additional can.
Otherwise, it's a karma free-for-all once again. I will try to show restraint in issuing or taking away thousands of cans at a time, as doing so previously made the cans meaningless, and pretty much put an end to can-grubbing, which surely was a fine addition to the board this year.

Aw MAN! Just when I was gloating over my stash of tiny cans, the size that they serve in hospitals! GONE! GONE FOREVER! I could add some pathetic sniffles at this point but I think that might be over the top.
Hey! Since I'm in Alaska I get to celebrate this long before most other people...at least, those most other rational folk on the eastern seaboard have gone to sleep. it's not even 10PM here, and it's still light outside! Rawk!
-
awesome!
I will feel a slight twinge when I give my first post-slate-cleaning can. Hm.
-
Don't the cans feel better though when you feel like you've earned them, rather than just received them arbitrarily because I was in a good mood or something?
-
oh, no, see, I remembered the time(s) that you arbitrarily gave me them, and knew the actual number that I had.
except, I think at one point I got one of those random things where I got like 50 extra. I'm not sure.
-
Wow.. I feel.. cleansed somehow. Like I own a bidet...
-
Oh, bollocks. I was so close to that magical 100 cans, and seeing as Jough had only ever arbitrarily taken cans away rather than giving them to me, I thought it would be well deserved.
Now, I have to try and reach that goal again. It feels like pushing a heavy rock up a hill. And then the rock rolls down again.
Nonetheless, this is a Good Thing for everybody.
-
Hooray! My self worth will once again be determined arbitrarily by (sort-of) strangers! It's like I'm in jr. high all over again.
-
Whatever.
-
Why, I feel all... light and airy.
-
I figure the amusing and popular kids will get their cans back anyway.
In December, whoever has the most cans will win a prize just in time for the holiday season. TOUAMB prizes make great gifts!

I'm not sure if it taught us the importance of fake civility or cheating more.
Either way, an important lesson!

Why womby, have I told you that you are looking marvelous lately and that I simply adore your pugs? *bats eyelashes*

See, I anticipated this and chugged all of mine the night before.

So that tremendous sound I heard last night was the resulting belch. I knew it was too loud to be a plane.
