[ul] [li]“You will never believe…” – I won’t? Then save us both some time and don’t bother telling me.[/li][li]"!" – Not a word or phrase, but if people would refrain from using exclamation points in topic titles, that would be just swell. Most often they show up on topics that deserve them the least. The President has just grown a third arm out of the middle of his forehead? Sure, use a ! in the title. Some celebrity has done something or other that most people don’t give a shit about? No.[/li][li]“Faux News” – Faux is both spelled and pronounced differently than Fox. It’s not witty to write it like that, it’s trite and boorish. Find some new material.[/li][/ul] ---

Nice **EmilyG**! It’s a shame you didn’t get in a minute earlier to actually be first, but I still applaud your sense of irony. I probably shouldn’t have included, “What do I win?” in the OP. Then someone could have posted: “What do I win?” What do I win? ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Nobody’s mentioned \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ yet? No, stupid; did you _see_ it mentioned? 80% of the time someone has, in fact, mentioned it before(_). 50% of the time it’s in the OP. (_) 90% if I was the idiot who didn’t read carefully. Yea, I’m above average! (BTW, that’s just my estimate. YMMV.) Also, you should have said, “Nobody’s mentioned, ‘Nobody’s mentioned \_\_\_\_\_ yet?’ yet?” It would have been a bit hard to parse though. ---
