Happy Moon Day!
It has been 42 years since the Apollo 11 lander touched down on the moon. Most MBers seem to agree that that was a Good Thing, and the moon hasn’t objected, so — as in past years — here’s a thread to mark the occasion.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two”: The Movie
A place to discuss not only the movie, but also the end of an era, how the whole Harry Potter phenomenon has affected you, and anything else that’s on your mind.
Mind your spoiler warnings, please. If in doubt, you can paste in this one:
HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER HARRY POTTER SPOILER
That should be long enough, we think.

Happy Tau Day (June 28)!

Enceladus’s Webcomic
Six letters, delivered on the same day, at the same time.
All for the same purpose- or perhaps purposes?
Whatever.
All that matters is that the letters have been delivered.
So it begins…
Many Happy Returns of the Season!
The summer solstice (or winter if you live in the southern hemisphere, as MBers sometimes do) occurs today, June 21, at 12:16 p.m. MuseBlog time.
So, how’s it going?
