      Do the hustle!

      I just can't see Lincoln using the term "hustle", but I could be wrong

          Would you call that "moving"?

                25 seconds!! I realize bragging about that doesn't make my sexuality sound very impressive

                LLapp on 2018-01-21 10:31:46
                Hooray, BrainCellKeeper!! I know you were incredulous for a long time about the fast solving speeds, and now you finally got one! What a great way to start the new year!
                Thanks, LLapp!
                I had no idea you would have seen my comments on that, and remembered me.
                I love this thread. It's quite entertaining. Incidentally, I took someone's suggestion and went to youtube to see bansaisequioa's videos of his quick solves. That was enlightening and helpful.

                  It's such a drag to try to read the name tags in our clothes while wearing them, and people get so upset if I take them off to look.

                        BrainCellKeeper, I definitely have seen your incredulous comments about fast solving times! I was delighted to notice that at some point you seemed to discover that they are for real. (Most of us doubted the super-fast record times at first; the videos really do help.) When I saw that you posted your own 25-second solve time, on New Year's Eve no less, I was genuinely happy for you. Congratulations on sticking with it and breaking through!

                              It's a good set of names for four cats. Perhaps four mutant teenage ninja cats, who, in a fit of instinct, ate the wise master rat who sought to teach them.

                                Again: Please add the comma! It would signal that the word after it is "if" and not "of". Its absence threw me off into "of" again.

                                I think we can all agree that the comma problem is preventing me from ever solving this puzzle.
