One of the goals of Project 2124 is to bring World Peace (via twine) . So how do we achieve such a lofty goal? We don’t know.

UC#3’s initial progress was slow until he realized stock yards and stock markets are two separate and distinct things. There are certainly some glamorous aspects to Twine Trading…. Twine Purgatory But there is a dark underbelly to twine trading. UC#3 is taking one for the team, and we appreciate it. 5/19/2024, 8:36 PM Gentlepeople- I […]
This began as a simple request: Favorite Chicken Recipes / Favorite Chicken Fast Food. But oh, the roads this led us down… I already shared my favorite chicken recipe (Faux Tandoori Chicken; https://www.wlbott.com/?p=27496), but for the fast food I have to say Chick-Fil-A.

Store Shelves Are Empty We all know the frustration of going to WalMart, looking for a few holiday eclipses, and being met with empty shelves and cheap knock-offs.
