As some of you might have noticed, there's an astounding number of new posts being created here on AQ every single day. Already 6,000 of them this month alone! It's can be challenging to keep up with the most interesting of threads.

wassamatta_u provided an amusing post to "help" Dixie out when she was off of AQ for a few days with a list of the more interesting topics of discussion while she gone.

This grew into an idea--what if he could regularly point out the most interesting and notable posts that show up on Atlas Quest? A place where you could see at a glimpse of what's going on without having to read over 6,000 posts per month?

And thus was born a new blog: Scooping the Letterbox -or- Boxers 'n' Briefs

I guess wassamatta_u was having trouble deciding on a name for the blog. =)

Anyhow, he's posted the first entry, called "Turkey Trots" to fill you in on everything you've might have missed while off during that Thanksgiving holiday. You can find the link over there under Letterboxing News.

Our newest reporter is on the beat and on the prowl for gossip. Be careful. ;o)

AQ boards may never be the same again ;-))

My 7 yo is over the moon at having made the "headlines" in #2 - his mother is hoping that's his 15 minutes of fame....... ;-))

Mama Fox - who will probably think carefully before she "submits" ;-))

PS - I love it!!!

Turtle Trots has me rolling with laughter.
leave it to wassa to turn my frustration of a destroyed...absolutely ruined box that is now INACTIVE into something hialrious
;)

I am glad to see you writing these summaries wassa
I love it!!

I agree....totally hysterical and worth every minute!

Scooping the Letterbox -or- Boxers 'n' Briefs

Okay I know I'm slow, but I can't find this board/blog. Is it going to be a board and if so what is it listed under so I can add it to my favorites. If it's going to be a blog will it be on the "My page" spot with the rest of the blogs?? Sorry to have to ask, but I could really use something like this:) Great Idea:)

Thanks

T;)

No, its under Letterboxing News on the right side of My Page. Click on Turkey Trots. :)

Thank You TG:)

ROFLMAO :-D :-)

Well done Wassamatta_u. I am really looking forward to the future summaries.

My only suggestion would be to have a permanent title on My Page, perhaps with the weekly title as a subtitle, so we all know what to look for.

Yes, I know - more work for GT :-(

don't need that...there will be a link in the news section whenever wassa updates the blog...and it will have his name next to it, just like spring chick, mark and sue, and lisascenic (and I know I'm missing someone but it's late and I can't remember who...sorry!

so anyway, just watch the news section of my page and look for wassa's name

Uh-oh. If he keys off a captive audience like AQ now, what would he be like with throngs of adoring fans?! ;) Though I have to say that laughing at his musings and commentary is a pretty good ab workout, so maybe I'd better re-think here. Better health through hilarity - just another service offered by wassamatta u.

No, no, not YOU! We're talking about that one guy, Emerald Turtle or something. The dude that runs AQ! (thumbs disdainfully at Green Tortuga) Get this guy, trying to live off the turtle dude's fame. Get a job, ya bum! ;-)
