Please don’t move it out of GQ.  
Sure, I know you may want to close it sometime… But, it’s just so cool that a mistake spawned the longest ever GQ thread.

I would hate to see that special status lost. Regardless of how some people feel about the jokes.

The check is in the mail, btw. I know how you guys work. 🙂

Move it? Are you kidding? Whither would we move it? If we sent it to, say, MPSIMS–and I say “we” because it would take our combined powers to even budge it–do you know what **Coldfire** , **UncleBeer** , and **Cajun Man** would do to us? That’s right, they’d blast us with their–Oh, never mind.

But seriously, the joke is getting more than a little stale, so it may very well be closed soon.
