Ahhhhh, don’t worry about it. Rue likes it when people hijack his threads! I do it all the time and I’m his number one Special Friend. Of course that might not have anything to do with the hijacks and everything to do with the regularly scheduled cash transfers that show up in his secret Swiss bank account. No matter.
I enjoyed your post and I think you should get out of the corner and start sending me extravagant gifts. Then you’ll be my Special Friend and I’ll put in a good word with Rue.
Incidentally - neat name - does it signify that you usta be an engineer??
OK, end of hijack. Luv ya, Rue!!!
stuffs happy fuzzy bunnies down Rue’s pants for good measure
Og. 
This whole thread is just scaring the shit out of me.
::swoons::
Rue, you do it to me every time…
We need a little flirty-smiley over here… mebbe one showing some skin… 
Whoah, there. I was under the impression that the Special Friend[sup]TM[/sup] franchise was proprietary to RueDeDay, Inc. and couldn’t be alienated or modified. I didn’t suspect that it might have a modular interconnection network structure. If it does, I would be honored to be your Special Friend[sup]TM[/sup]. However, if extravagant gifts are required for entry, I’ll have to bow out. At this point, I’d be lucky to finance a ham sandwich.
and…
Well yeah. Just check my profile… [sub][sup] AWWWW, DANG![/sup][/sub]

I now mostly do administrative/coordination stuff. Not as lucrative or interesting, but it involves regular hours and low stress.
And here’s me just thinking that he’d be a great guy to spend an afternoon shooting the breeze with*. Perceptions, perceptions…
Exgineer -slowly gaining confidence with this
*[sup][sub](or…“with whom to spend”… aw, fuggedaboutit)[/sub][/sup]
Hey Exgineer, welcome to the boards!
Don’t worry about Rue being pissed. He’s a righteous dude. You’re Jake. Fugheddaboudit.
Having shot breezes with Rue on occasion, I can certify that he is a cool guy and very funny. However, he does not look like what you think he looks like.
Just so’s you know.
Zap!
Rue isn’t incorporated. Nor is he incarcerated. I don’t think he’s inebriated either, but since he’s 1000 miles away from me, I can’t swear to that. I don’t usually swear anyway - not ladylike, ya know.
Regardless, even if he decides to get into a snit about the whole Special Friend[sup]TM[/sup] thingie, you can still be my bud, chum, pal, or adoring fan. Whatever you’re most comfortable with. And you can skip the extravagant gifts. That was just a cheap ploy on my part anyway. And it never works. As long as you love me for my mind, it’ll all work out.
And Zap’s right - Rue doesn’t look like that at all. But he does occasionally don the cutest footie jammies.
Isn’t an “allegory” one of those big g#ddam lizards down in Florida? Lives in swamps? Eats people? 
Darn it Rue, I wish you’d make these things clear.
