70 years from now, as the contest prepares for its epic 100th anniversary edition, historians shall mine this thread as a living archive of the Torgersen era of the contest.
And when they do, we'll all post about it here on the thread!

I think you were a little busy at the time. In LA. On a stage. Something to do with a trophy. A really BIG trophy...

I giggled a little. My sub-conscience brain found it funny even though I don't think I intellectually get the joke.

Tyler would get it. When we want to do a task in a program without waiting around for an answer, we launch what is called a "thread" to run that task while we keep doing what we're doing. Seemingly inevitably, this causes problems, as the different threads collide with each other, trying to change the same data at the same time or one thread undoing changes that the other relies on.
Imagine the old sitcom bits where different waiters try to come in and out the same door bearing trays of food and dirty dishes, and the inevitable collision that results. Metaphorically, that was my day yesterday, and it will be my day today.
