We all need the cheat sheets for them.  BTW Looks at my post count.  I'm an old fart here now. :lol

And new ones are being added all the time!  In fact, I just added one 8:41 ago.

(which, by that clue, King should be able to figure out what it is and what the code is, if he thinks about it hard enough)

That was a funny few days.  Payback for me hacking my buddies Facebook page.  He did the same thing to me on DTF. :lol

Son of a


I'm having a brain fart.

:lol  Well, you know how this works.  I'm not giving it up.  The timing is the clue.  And you are the ONLY one on the forum who can figure it out based on the clue of when I added it because you are one of the people I was talking to in the moments leading up to me adding it.  (although I have now given enough information for others to be able to figure it out now too...  :( )

Ok, now my head is spinning.  Is it this thread or another.  8 hours and 41 minutes ago or is the numbers add up to something else.

Trying to recall a conversation?

Bosk, can you answer this question? Would the album be available on HD Tracks? If so, is there a discount code for that? Hahaha. I remember buying BTFW mere minutes after it appeared on HD TRacks only to know later that there is a discount code. :p Thanks.

Well, the events that were on the schedule I have were supposed to have happened already, so...not sure where we are.  :lol :dunno:  But it is supposed to be a good week.

How long has it been since the last site update? Should we have "clock guy" by now?

And I still can't stop listening to TGOM. That section once the choir comes in gets me every time.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Well, that was the time of bosk's post minus 8:41.  Unless this forum adjusts for time zones and/or my math is wrong.

It is indeed the day. The day of Wednesday 6th January, 2016, to be precise. Although in some parts of the world, it's probably the night.

The first facebook video he did with it he said something along the lines of "included on the upcoming album", so I believe so, yes.

EDIT: yea here it is, I remember this made me very excited aswell: https://www.facebook.com/jordanrudessofficial/videos/10153252656357989/

Well Bosk hinted that something may be happening this week, then updated us by saying that what was meant to have happened has actually not yet happened. And that's pretty much the week summed up! Still 3 weeks tomorrow we will have those discs of awesomeness in our sweaty palms.
