Three Cheers For Changing The World

Tomorrow is the big day! (RE: Board Question #30286) This made me curious about other boardie/Board writer competitions…Another one I found was a scrabble game between Tangerine and Optimistic.. I couldn’t find anything on how it turned out, but just the fact that it was mentioned made my whole day. I have this image in my head of Board writers getting together and playing scrabble or any other game to some incredible level. It reminds me of a quote from What about Bob? Where Bob, talking about Dr. Leo Marvin says, “We can’t even begin to understand him, he is on such a different level from us. We are like ropes on the Goodyear Blimp.” The interesting thing is the absolute dominance of the Board writers, instead of exacerbating my own inferiority complex; it gives me hope, something to shoot for, and aspire to. I guess it is like having heroes; only these heroes care about us enough to answer all sorts of unenlightened questions in an unpretentious way. Even when criticized and attacked, the general response is “I am just glad that we have readers.” While Board writers don’t have a monopoly on the smart/good person market, they definitely use their powers of humor, wit, intelligence, research, deduction, and understanding, for the collective good of humanity. This then is infused into the general readership, and then spread across the world. I can just see all sorts of people from all sorts of cities and countries going home for the holiday, and spreading this love and intelligence with people they meet. Thus creating exponential growth to positive relations, and perhaps growing the readership of the Board letting the cycle start all over again. As faithful and true as the water cycle, although the changes are small, and over a short period of time unnoticeable, their impression on the world is unmistakable. Three cheers for the Board, and changing the world for good. Hazzah! Hazzah! Hazzah!
