he ain't answering his phone, email, facebook, carrier pigeon anyway

He probably has a dedicated checking account pegged to his forum debits/credits. That's Business 101. I'll do the same at some point just credits ever become a thing. End of the day, I'm just glad it's over and haven't thought about it in a month. A man never steps into the same river twice, right?

Just joined the forum - flew over from the other side.

My work day has all gone to hell in a basket. So I'm sat in front of my PC typing this and dinking a refreshing cider.

The etymology of "gone to hell in a handbasket", from what I can surmise, refers to the bystanders comments when the basket containing the heads of the French Revolution's guillotine victims were carried off. In that case, your day is off to one horrific start.

Actually, no. The origin of the phrase "going to hell in a handbasket" is actually much older, and dates back to at least 1515. See here: Phrase Finder: Hell in a Handbasket.

Good deep dive, but at any rate it's not a good way to go.

Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?

Good question. The phrase was initially "going to hell in a wheelbarrow" (and if you check out the link above, you'll even see a stained-glass window with a blue devil taking a woman to hell in a wheelbarrow). But "hell in a handbasket" is alliterative.

Kinda hard work for the devil, honestly. That means he’d have to go back and forth and back and forth for one damned soul at a time.
