Harvesters
“I'm very brave generally, he went on in a low voice: only today I happen to have a headache.” - Lewis Carroll
Yesterday was overall a positive day. I had the fortune of being visited by a good friend and hopefully a future good friend while at work. Johnathan and his friend Brea (A resident from China teaching english over there) dropped by Park Street School to visit me and allow her to see the school as she's highly considering moving here next year. Therefore, Park Street is on her list of places of possibility. It was fun meeting her and getting to see Johnathan while at work, he introduced himself during lunch...the kids asked what he was a Doctor of, well, he teaches! "What do you teach?" He responded that he teachea college students, I swear he could have put anything in and received the same reaction - all the first graders squeaking and acting squirrely, but what do you expect? Later on they called as they were going to eat at Borders in Harvard Square and later on going to John Harvey's for a Harvard trivia night! That's right, us against a bunch of "wicked smat havad kids." We didn't come in last - third to last, not bad...or maybe it was second to last, whatever. However, we found out the man who invented TNT also invented gravity, according to us! The funniest event of the night is that we decided to call our team the "Harvard of the Midwest" after my beloved Alma Mater, however, me being the scribe must have had a misfire in the brain and I wrote down Harvest of the Midwest in it's place - only realizing my party foul way too late. Yes, for the rest of the night we were not Harvard of the Midwest but the Harvest of the Midwest, nice, real nice. I'll have to show you the napkin / shirt I was made for the night at some point. It was a lot of fun and I was yet again verified of my ignorance, so many things I do not know...and yet so many movie quotes I could run for president! Now, the night was far from over even though it was after midnight when we got home. I had a headache start way earlier in the day and it was whispering, "you know who I am!" in my head all day. "Oh no!" I thought. What could I do though? It had to come and run its course...all I could do was hope it wouldn't, but it did! That's right, by midnight I had one of my semi-annual migraines - the ones that only end by getting really sick (you know what I mean) thank you porcelain God. It wasn't much fun. I slept with the trashcan, sweats, and a pounding in my eyes...when I woke up it was gone but I felt absolutely exhausted and had to call in sick...ugh, I hate migraines. But, such is life. Nonetheless, I wouldn't have changed the night, it was a blast! Alright, time to head out yet again and get back to the grind one more time. Here's a little thought by Mr. Twain that I tend to agree with as far as these headaches are concerned, I just count my fingers I don't have migraines all the time like my poor cousin, Lord have mercy on her. Anyway, have a fun day y'all!
“Do not undervalue the headache. While it is at its sharpest it seems a bad investment; but when relief begins, the unexpired remainder is worth $4 a minute.” - Mark Twain

Not only do I get to be the first to post, but I get to tell you how I truly feel. I feel like I know you inside and out Ty. I looked at all of your pictures and glanced over some of your latest bloggs. Oh...to be Ty for just one day. To walk even a foot in his shoes. How great the day would be, but I CAN’T...How d’ya like d’em apples (Had to throw a wicked cool quote in thar.)
Guess Who, I want everyone from the big MO to guess. I’ll only post who this is once I see 9 guesses. Yes I know 9 is a weird number but I don’t think Ty know that many people. Ah...Snap!
hmmmm.... quote from Good Will Hunting, required guesser must be from MO, use of the word "thar".... I'm going to guess Bretty boy Gugg, but I'm quite confident I'm wrong
(because I'm not convinced it's not tyler playing a trick on us just to get comments on his blog....)
It's definitely not me...I'm guessing it's either a JW'er - but I'm trying to remember who I was so adamant about despising the phrase "ah snap." I'm stumped for the moment. My first guess might be Ashcraft...but he's gone on a trip, so perhaps Bowman, but we'll see. I need some time to think about it, because, if you were really me - you'd know how patient I truly am.
Oh, and it must be someone fairly clever to figure out using "bold" font so easily. Unless on the PC format it gives you that option...a clever duckling this one is, but not for long. Especially since I can see where the IP address came from, sucker!!
Brett,
Ty (himself),
Ashcraft,
Bowman...

I guess
1) Tyler
2) BJ
3) Dusty (because that would be way sneaky, since you've been begging and conniving for him to get his blog moving).
Ty we are going to be RICH.....FILTHY RICH....Moooohoa, Moooha, Mooha, ha ha hu (No this party is not Dr. Evil, keep guessing)
Wait, I totally guess BJ, because the legal jargonese is trying to be intelligent and stuck-up, but it ends up sounding contrived.
I would have to agree with the "contrived" nature of your comment, Triz. And from looking at comment #5 (posted by anonymous) it appears to have been made by a "student" of the law. I say this because anyone "involved" with the law knows that in order to use the symbol ®, you must first receive formal notification from the US Patent and Trademark Office that your application for trademark has been received, reviewed, and officially acknowledged and registered. A process that can take at the very least 6 months and typically several years. To denote a desired trademark on the argument, it must be noted by a TM rather than the aformentioned ®. The copyright claim is valid and the pending patent argument is viable, although very intricate since you would have to patent the idea behind the way the argument was structured, rather than the argument itself. A process that can get very tricky. Although the anonymous commentor may know my full name, clearly they do not know the focus of law which I specialize.
So, with that, I enter my next guess. Wyatt Feeler. Although I question whether or not Wyatt knows Tyler's real name, the argument author clearly has some sort of legal experience and / or education. Also acknowledging that Wyatt is in law school, I doubt he has enough time on his hands to create such an intricate argument and even after one semester, he should know the difference between TM and ®. But none-the-less, he is my next guess.
Tyler, I enjoy reading your blog. Lot's to look at. I feel you could start a corporation just off of all the things on the side. Hope all is well. I don't have a clue. I think its a women, but it could be searcy boy, I've heard him say "Snap."
I don't think it's wyatt or searcy...searcy is way too busy, and wyatt - don't have that good of a relationship. Ah, nuts, they just brought out a new sweet as can be powerbook - I hate that, especially cause it's better than mine, and cheaper, ugh. Anyway, my next guess would have to be Pille - though, he hasn't been online in a long, long time. Therefore I don't really believe it's him, but I'll throw the name out.
That's really funny because my next guess was going to be Mike. I almost included him in the wyatt post, but I decided to wait. Funny he should post next....
Someone that knows well enough who my close enough friends are...and possibly theirs, to go across bounds and start commenting on everyone in my links. A little shady and disappointing
Oh, I forgot to add...it's not searcy because he hasn't checked the blog in several days, on the other hand someone from florida has been checking it over 20 times in the last little while - along with someone from KC...Larson and Will live in Florida, though will is gone narrowing that search to one
Only Larson checks a person's blog 17 times in basically one day - and he's the only one in Florida...unless it's old passport people, doubtful.
So who is it?
mom
Maybe it's Lucky.
Newlly engaged lucky....believe he's got better and more important things going on at the moment, but I can check who in St. Louis has been lookin'
I think we named all the friends I have, I'm kinda a lobster, I mean loser
No way! I didn't know Lucky's newly engaged! That's great. He was just the only law student I could think of that you're friends with...
We haven't named Phil. It doesn't seem like something he'd be likely to do, but I'm just reminding us that you have friends that we may have not mentioned who could be the culprit...!
Okay already! It's the 15th. Who's the culprit?!
Well, as commander in chief of this blog I order our mysterious person to do one of two things: 1) Identify yourself or 2) Begin your own blog, or acknowledge it, and tell us who you are through there.
Failure to do so will result in all of the comments on this post being here and forth removed at my discretion. You have 32 hours from this point: 12:00AM Northeastern Time Zone Monday. January 16, 2006. Give me all the legal jargon you want, at the end of the day - I control this blog and am king of it's domain, no pun intended. By the way, I see you too. Next time plan your visits more strategically, the time stamps of your IP address show up to obvious to when you made your comments. But I'll let you reveal your identity, friend, without me having to do it for you.
From: Anonymous Nomore
Bravissimo,
What amazing support for your friend and loved one Ty. I must confess you are more popular that I could ever have imagined. Okay, Okay, enough already...we don’t need tension and we definitely don’t want people to be mad at me once this is finally all over. So, who is (Mr., Mrs., It...X). Was it a sophisticated computer program that was devised to throw everyone off track. Was it Ty playing a trick on everyone just to get them to look at his blog (no Ty is not that ostentatious, and I try not to be either...really). Was this a product of 10,000 monkeys locked in a room with typewriters for 25 years (I wish that would be really cool and smelly at the same time). Ty was on the right track....It was none other than. Eric. Yes Eric Larson. I know some of you don’t know me but it was fun wasn’t it, I hope, don’t kill me?!? Besides I did this for someone else. Isabelle told me to, every single word she whispered in my ear, her fingers are too stumpy to type still. (I think she had some collaboration with an unknown assailant, she just informed me that she is willing to email Ty a picture of the master mind). She hopes this has helped the blog, she thinks ty is nothing short of spectacular (a long time ago that would have been funny because Ty used to be short but is now a strapping young man). Anyway, we love you and hope this has helped your blog...Oh by the way she wanted me to tell you something...Got Chou Good Rookie!!!
