...to avoid going bold this week.

I thought you made this gratuitous post cuz you were participating in the gus hunt.

There's a hunt afoot?

Yep. Only 45 to 95,000.

Well, only 43 now. But it's a slow hunt.

I have never had a gus.

There are only four of us on the Bored right now, so your odds looks pretty good.

Cool, I didn't realize that there was a gus hunt!

Okay, I'll bite. What does this mean?

We were battling to see who could make the 95,000th post on the Bored. PSM got it.

gusgerbils was the very first poster on the very first WWTBAM forum, the People's Republic of Go®.

Gosh, Frank, you didn't notice the games we played over here while you had folks trying to figure out Tangredis in the GC?

And that poster's screen name is said to have been in honor of a real gerbil, named Gus. That little fellow is no longer with us, but his avatar can be seen in the following MM's profile:

I didn't even know there was a here here then.

Well, here was over there on Go.com, but we still consider this a continuation of the same Bored, despite the occasional change of address.

I hate Gus hunts. LB is sleeping, so I need an opportunity to build up my post count.

I'm still building. This is just the foundation.

He's 55 ahead of me. I'll never catch up unless someone has something to talk about.

I need to go my nails done. That might take priority.

I am very positive gusgerbils (a.k.a. Meg Hurley, who used to have a gerbil breeding site on the internet that that picture of Gus came from) has no idea there's a hunt named in her honor. She only made a couplr throwaway posts in the old, old days of the original WWTBAM Bored. And she only wound up with Post #1 due to the fact that one of her's was the earliest post ABC could recover from the Great Bored Crash of November 1999....

Well, we all have our priorities.....

Maybe the game will run 20 innings tonight and you'll get some more catch up time.....

One can only hope.

Or I can pull a Uly and post on each and every thread whether or not I have anything to contribute.
