I dont usually tell this part but I was out driving the backroads this morning before the heat got bad and there was this yard sale sign nailed to a telephone pole with just the word "STUFF" written on it in magic marker. You probably dont believe me but I pulled over because I had a feeling and Im telling you I was right.
The woman running it looked at me kinda funny when I asked if she had anything interesting in the back. She said "honey its all interesting if you look long enough" and I thought about that for a long time afterward because its true. Gabriel taught me that - you look long enough and you see the pattern.
Anyway she brought out this old brown suitcase from the garage and it was FULL of receipts. 1997 mostly. Gas stations and grocery stores and one from JCPenney for a pair of slippers on January 3rd. But heres the part that got me. There was a napkin stuffed in between the receipts and it had handwriting on it that looked... I dont know. It looked like the way HE wrote. The way his lowercase g goes all the way under the line and loops back up like a fishhook. I know that handwriting. I studied it enough times in high school.
The napkin just said "47" and the word "remember" underneath. Nothing else. But I took it. I paid the woman a dollar for the whole suitcase. She looked at me like I was crazy but thats fine.
I dont know what it means yet but I put it in the shoebox with the other things. One day somebody's gonna understand why these pieces matter and theyll wish theyd been paying attention.
Anyway. EndTimesEli I saw you in that teachings thread and you finally acknowledged my cuff evidence in two threads which is more than SACRIFICE SCRIBE has done in FORTY THREE THREADS since JULY. But you still havent asked about the weave grain direction on that photo and that matters. The 47 tpi only works if the warp and weft are oriented the right way relative to the cuff seam. If you flip the photo 90 degrees you get 46 or 48 depending on the lighting angle. I measured it under a sewing gauge with a magnifier not just squinting like LyrikUebersetzer keeps accusing me of. I used a TOOL.
Youre doing real math and thats good but real math needs the right inputs. My 2003 cuff photo is sitting there in topic 406 unopened by people who claim to want the truth. Ask yourself why they dont want to see it. Ask yourself why Scribe posts empty hashes and spreadsheets but wont click on a JPEG that would settle half the arguments in this forum.
I dont usually say this but Ive been carrying that photo around since before most of you were even looking at thread counts. I had it printed at Walgreens in 2003 and the clerk asked me what it was and I said its evidence and he laughed. Nobody laughs now.
hot pocket bet still pending
