The first: An "is and is not" (or "has and has not", or similar) joke from 2011, proving that it predates Alanland. I know I found it once, but I can't find it anymore, even with a date-restricted and site-restricted Google search.

The second:

agentsteel53: I'm not that keen on where New England Routes [forget which numbers] meet.
Me: Was that joke intentional?
agentsteel53: I wish it was.

(While at least three numbers were mentioned, two of them met in Keene, NH.)
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

The second thread, if it still exists, could be found through your own post history.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

It's hard to know what qualifies as a "joke", but I found this, below.  It may or may not be (:awesomeface:) what you're thinking of.

Okay, I suppose it both is and isn't an error in that case. :p

Thank you for finding the "keen" thread! I'm not sure if the first one I'm looking for is what I found before, but if it is, I was misremembering the year (the post is from 2009, not 2011).

I just happened to stumble upon some more evidence that the "is/is not" joke predates Alanland.
Also not from 2011 (August 2010).
