I'm kinda rubbish at it.
But then I've long established that I've got rather poor eyballing judgment.

New ? O'day:

Where in the world is Marcus Bales?

Marcus has thrown himself full time into John McCain's campaign, beguiled by his desperate promise to reduce America's reliance on cheap foreign limericks.

he's gone undercover full time as his alter-ego, MoJoRiSin

"Bale's" is just a pseudonym his real last name is "Anderson".....

LAS CRUCES — His start to the 2008 season has raised eyebrows in the New Mexico State Aggies' locker room. For wide receiver Marcus Anderson, however, it's just another day at the office.

"For the people here, my teammates, my coaches, I think they might be surprised," Anderson said. "For the people that know me well, they don't even blink an eye. They're pretty much used to it."

:)

he's having tea with Carmen Sandiego in an undisclosed location

I'm sorry to say that I think he actually died. There is no force in heaven or on earth that could prevent his living self from completing a dictionary thread word that he posted.

But I hope that this rumor of his demise is greatly exagerated.

So...explicitly; "Where in the world is Marcus Bales?":
6 feet under the surface.

He and his team at AIG just got back from a fabulous $400,000 spa retreat on the taxpayers dime:

I'm with Coffee. I'm afraid he may actually be not at all well.
:(
Maybe he's just on a long lovely vacation to Rio?
Here's hoping we don't need to post a real eulogy in the eulogy thread.

He has a contract for the ultimate glass job and will blow the roof off! Well, do remember it is Cleveland, so smile.

HI!

Seriously now, did he or didn't he leave a message a few weeks ago that he was "out of here" ? I'd been gone for the summer, and it was one of the first things I saw when i came back...shoot, now I have to go look for it.

Leaving the dictionary game hanging was a nice touch, I think. That way we'd be sure to miss him :o

why don't you just send him an email??

he has his website on his profile.

You can probably spot him in here.

or here

new question of the day -

if you were stranded in the wilderness for three months with only a knife and a bucket, how well would you survive?

maximum two weeks without the message board :o

Define wilderness?

It's wild. Full of wild things that it supports. And it's hard to find your way out of it. Any landscape without civilization will do.

For fun, let's rule out an ocean landscape. I don't think many would survive more than a day.

i'm surviving in the civilized world right now, and i think i would do a lot better in the wilderness.

especially with the bucket, here you can wear it on your head and pretend nothing shitty is happening around you, in the wilderness a bucket is useful for so many things, you know??

Dunno if or how well, but I'd survive (or not) at least in a clean way
for this bucket and knife are excellent tools to construct myself a makeshift shower :) ;)

i once grew my own radishes :)

hm - arid southwest? about as long as it takes to die of dehydration.

humid eastern mountains? a little while, depends how long it takes to contract lyme disease.

bahamian coppice? probably the best shot, since I know a lot of the wild foods and have an inkling of where to look for water.

I want the ocean landscape...mussles, clams...mmmm.

Just promise me there won't be a starbucks nearby.

what would be the cause of death after one day?

internet withdrawal (that was a new question of the day...right?)

caffeine withdrawal :)

The two above + nicotine withdrawal!

I was picturing treading water out in the middle of the deep blue with nothing but a bucket and a knife. You know - drowning, sharks, fatigue, exposure :)

With a shore around, it might take a little longer.

yep - my scary. the deep blue.

such a cheery subject...which probably means that it's time for a new QOTD
