Where did it go?

Suddenly it stopped! The 22nd was the last one. Is there something screwy with Mark's server again? How can I face Christmas without one more piece of sanity-noncompliant Conwayism from the Acme namespace or a short, wittily documented module that does something blatantly impossible in under fifty lines of impenetrable line noise? Have pity on me!

Actually, the 24th and 25th are there now -- but the 23rd is "tbc". I don't know what TBC is, though.

Wellll... "TBC" could mean "To Be Completed", but I had a look at acronymfinder.com and I think it's more likely to be "The Breakfast Club (1985 movie)", which is to say that Mark hasn't been able to finish December 23's edition because he's in detention. The good news, however, is that he's going to end up with the goth chick, who's a bit of a babe once the prom queen wipes all that crap off her eyelids and gives her hair a brush.

Or it could mean Texas Baptists Chapter, and Mark's been captured by angry religious Southerners, and TBC was all he could type and upload as a clue before they got him.

Any other possibilities, before I band together a loose association of personages and undertake a rescue mission deep in the land of being 1/3rd the size of Alaska?
