The Loop (three years later)

Thanks to Mark and Laurie for showing me the lines. If it wasn't for them I would still be circling Donut Hole saying to myself "what is it?"
Their leadership techniques are slightly different...
Laurie: "What's the worst that could happen?"
Mark: "You could die! Follow me!"
But it's a nice combination..and it worked. I managed to stay on the non-fish side of the time/space continuum.
My only question is why call it Cucumber? Why not call it "I Got Lucky?"
Or "The Big Stinky Monkey" or at the least "Satan's Cucumber."
I know "Cool Hand Cuke!"
I guess we just have a failure to communicate....
