Jeff Ross#thatmomentwhen it occurs to you that the character’s name in the gif at the end of Ryan’s post is named “Snape”…even though you’ve never watched Harry Potter.

Jeff RossHmm…interesting.

Jeff RossBEWARE ANY THREADS THAT HAVE A SINGLE SPAM POST. THOSE BOTS ARE NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH.
Jeff RossMy favorite hymn of today is “Onward Christian Soldiers” by Sabine Baring-Gould. He apparently composed the lyrics in about 15 minutes, and it was to be played during a processional. The hymn started to gain popularity six years later when Arthur Sullivan composed the tune that most associate with the hymn today. From what I could find, the Salvation Army adopted this hymn as its preferred processional, which contributed to its popularity.
I like the hymn because it reminds us that although we are in the midst of spiritual warfare during this lifetime, we are facing a defeated foe, and none of us have to face that foe alone. I find it to be a very encouraging hymn.

Jeff RossI used the character “Kevin” from the fancast to help me give a less-than-perfect product review:

Jeff RossFather God, I pray to Thee
Grant us peace and serenity
As we think upon this tragedy
And how You blessed our recovery.
May we trust in You for our full protection,
Reflecting Your love to our fellow brethren.
May this type of event never happen again,
And may we be ever ready to head for heaven.
Thank You for this gift of life, both now and then.
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
Jeff RossThe video you’ve all been waiting for:
Jeff RossSince some people won’t see the picture Franklin posted in the comment above, I’ll transcribe it here:
There are three books in the picture. The three books stand side by side. They are entitled “The Two Towers”, “The Fellowship of the Ring”, and “The Return of the King”. All three are written by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Jeff RossI think that scenario only works if Joshua has given out his coordinates to Franklin and/or Jeff…otherwise the notion of bursting in on someone to comfort him on stalkers seems like it would require some stalker skills to complete, making the message a bit less comforting.
That being said, I found the parody quite entertaining.

Jeff RossNo skeptic could explain just how, nor could one oft rebut
The wondrous deeds that went on in that little Alpine hut
Jeff RossI am curious: What did Manalive’s personal project turn out to be?
Jeff RossI am just fine with Josiah not releasing his kraken.
Although, on a related note, I did find it interesting that my Google search for “kraken” showed me a US-based cryptocurrency exchange before the more well-known sea monster.
Jeff RossToday my favorite German Mathematics YouTube channel released a video about the area of a circle, using a pizza for demonstrative purposes. He then left a comment on his own video that I find outstanding. Translated into English, it reads:
Incidentally, for the volume V of a circular pizza with radius z and height a, V = Pi⋅z⋅z⋅a.
Jeff RossThere was a roughly 2.5-hour call that took place on August 18, 2018, as well as a “pre-call” that lasted for a little more than 45 minutes earlier that day. A highlight of the main call was the F.A.C.E.s playing Geoguessr.
This was the first set of Mini-AuxCon Skype calls that I missed in entirety, including the ones not registered here on the Not-Forum.
Jeff RossHere’s a segment from the conversation that I had with Corban Garcia for the greatest fancast of all time. This particular clip was not in the fancast itself.
Jeff RossThis could go in several different threads, but I think it fits best here:
Jeff RossHOORAY!
Jeff RossHere is the most impressive Noel-E video yet. You might say it was a collaBEARation:
Jeff RossHere’s my YouTube username being pronounced:
Jeff RossEither yesterday or today, depending on which time zone you consider, marks one year since I made my first Not-Forum post.

Jeff RossI like that idea too, Joshua.
Jeff RossMy suggestion is Secretary of the Space Force.
Not only is it a unique branch of the military that only two nations have ever had (Russian and soon the USA), but with your vast Star Wars expertise, I see the title as a pun as well, which means that the role may include more than just military strategy.
Jeff RossFrom the Office of the H.O.W.D.A.R.E.Y.O.U.:
This is an official invitation for Franklin and Shay to each apply to T.O.P.H.A.T. and propose a title of his or her desire. Comment #41852 on page 19 of this thread lists the current T.O.P.H.A.T. roster and titles, and I am more than willing (in my role as the H.O.W.D.A.R.E.Y.O.U.) to propose additional title suggestions upon request.
To apply, simply post a comment on this thread.
