Perhaps you don’t care that the deadline to sign up for Copy Riddles is approaching in a few hours. Such is the society we live in.
But it wasn’t always so. For example, Julius Caesar once wrote about a curious urgency tactic used by his enemies, the Gauls:
“By Gallic intertribal law all adult males are obligated to attend the muster under arms; and the last to come is tortured to death in sight of the host.”
Ah the good old days… when a deadline really meant something.
But again, we live in a modern and a civilized society. So the only torture I can inflict upon you is to say:
Come 12 midnight PST tonight (Sunday), I will close the doors to Copy Riddles.
And no amount of pleading about how your car was in the shop, or how the kids were sleeping, or how you only had cash on hand (all excuses I’ve gotten before) will make me crack those doors open a single inch.
Not until some uncertain future date, at least a few months down the line, when or if I decide to reopen Copy Riddles.
Again, perhaps you don’t care. But if you do, there’s still a bit of time. Here’s the link:
