I know a number of people who are proud long-term members of that most venerable of fraternities, Tappa Kegga Bud.
I have never been much of a joiner, but I have been accused of being the President Resignate Pro-Tem of the Procrastinators’ Society, despite my protestations that I am only an amateur crastinator.
@werehatrack you know, I had never considered it before but since I am posting this while ostensibly working at a job that pays money, I suppose that does in fact make me a PRO Crastinator.
@blaineg A “concrastinator” is someone who bemoans having waited until after the deadline to get their membership in a convention at the earlybird discount rate.
@Kidsandliz There was a cool bit in the last “For All Mankind” episode: a NASA engineer, who came to the US as a child & illegal immigrant, was sent to the moon to fix first hand a problem with her rocket engine design.
A dream come true, and yes, she was over the moon.

@yakkoTDI Um, maybe not so anonymous after all…
@rtjhnstn Yes. I joined right after getting kicked out of the NRA. Who knew the National Restaurant Association didn’t allow certain ingredients?
@rtjhnstn @yakkoTDI Well if you are trying to get rid of dead bodies by having people eat them you need to be sneakier.

@werehatrack I’ve never gotten around to turning pro…

@werehatrack What about con?
@blaineg A “concrastinator” is someone who bemoans having waited until after the deadline to get their membership in a convention at the earlybird discount rate.

I would like to be a member of the civilian gets to go to the moon to visit club. Well and the same club for Mars too.

@blaineg Well cool!
@Kidsandliz It descends into silly soap opera sometimes, but overall I really like the show.
Some of the background bits of the alternate history are fascinating, as well as the grand sweep of things.
The third season jumps to the 90’s, and the Mars race is on.
Not just the first Internet biker gang, but a founding member of it. Or is it a computer club for bikers? We’ve never been quite clear on that.
Anyway, we’re older than the web. Does anyone still know what Usenet is?
