...I probably should make a thread here as well.

I'm redyoshi49q, I've been here since 2008, and I've been a Watcher for a few weeks as well.  I'm a UofI student, and I'm finishing up my fourth out of five years in pursuit of a four year CE degree.  My interests include ciphers (I've made a few of these), crypto (I have PGP and GPG set up), RP, music (I play percussion), math, programming (I'm proficient in C++, and know C, Python, and Java), CE, and both traditional and video games (I'm a Lupus nut).  As you might have already guessed, I'm very much a geek.

Hi!

Hai RY.  ^_^

You know, I *still* haven't tried any of that stuff.  I don't even think it's sold out here.

(*cracks open a storybook and begins to read*)

I've been a volunteer for the food pantry in my hometown for a number of years.  My mom's been the Administrator of that food pantry for the majority of the time since its founding in 1999, and she also contributed significantly to founding it.  Accordingly, I have a fair deal of familiarity with the pantry's operations.

One consequence of working at a food pantry is a distortion of one's perception as to what "a lot of food" is.  We had a truck of food from the food bank come in yesterday.  It seems my mom got a lot of gum.  I assume that the food bank was inundated with gum and was therefore offering it at comparatively low prices to get rid of it quickly; this does happen on occasion.

This is a picture I took of the gum we got (about 3-4 boxes of it was elsewhere, and the top layer is the only one that isn't densely packed).  *All* of the boxes on that palette are boxes of gum.

Historically, there have been times when the food pantry would have so much of a certain item that everyone felt that we'd never run out of it.  In the past, such items used to include (at different times) beef stew, canned corn, and figs, among other things.  From the looks of things, gum will soon be added to that list.

It doesn't seem to have been said here yet.  Congratulations Red.  ^^

Congratulations redyoshi.

Congratulations RY!

Congratulations Redyoshi.

Thanks, everybody!

...There may or may not be a yoshi inside the canine costume on the left.  This picture may or may not have been taken yesterday afternoon.  I may or may not have had a total blast.

Anyways...really Happy Birthday! 

I took your previous comment to imply this, but again, thanks.  On a tangentially related subject, I actually fell asleep on the night of my birthday while in the process of composing a reply to this post.  Maybe you've seen me append "|thud" to my IRC nick?  Sometimes, that "thud" is less figurative than others...
