I calculate it will be 9.848*10² days (approximately) before I hop over that dratted hyphenated fence demarking 2000 posts. Is the grass really greener over there?

I see it's not greener. Kind of grayish, in fact.

Rob, you need to get past the the highest hyphenated line to get to the green pastures.

The grass is not necessarily greener behind the 2,000 post post.

But the donuts are, perhaps.

In this case, color doesn't matter

YUM-M-M-M

Oh, yes it does matter! I certainly wouldn't want to eat a doughnut that looked like that. Ugh.

Beyonderland always attacks from from The Great Beyond. That's why you never see it comeing. It's painless and easy. You just go to sleep one day and wake up beyond yourself. Although you may now find that you are a little green around the edges, like this poor chap.

I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the Starship Asterisk* mission and I want to help you.

<<Violet is a bright bluish purple color with a wavelength between approximately 3800-4500 angstroms (named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström). According to surveys, violet is the color most commonly associated with the extravagant, the individualist, ambiguity, the unconventional, and the artificial.>>
