That should have been “are you deliberately excluding me from that list?” Seems I’m very ditzy tonight. \*\* Actually, “Are you deliberately including me off that list?!” was pretty funny. You shoulda let it ride. (Flamsterette, I was thinking of some earlier thread where we made a running gag out of “I wonder if Flamsterette\_X will post here” – after you already had. Can’t think of what thread it was.) ---

“Include me out!” What famous person said that? Meanwhile, back at the barn, I forgot to mention Tyson, the tiny-brained Golden Retriever, who desperately wants you to play fetch, and can’t understand why it’s a problem for you that he refuses to let go of the filthy slimy ratty tennis ball. But at least he’s not beady-eyed. ---

**Satisfying Andy Licious** : if I were on my brother’s fast computer and had the inclination to look that thread up, I would. But I’m not, and I don’t. 😛 Although I _do_ vaguely remember that thread now you mention it. Maybe I’ll search for it later. “Are you deliberately including me off that list?!” was pretty funny, eh? Could have been, but I admit I was thinking that people would brand me as someone who doesn’t pay close attention to her word choices. (I seriously do, at least most of the time) So I had to post a clarification of what I actually meant. **EddyTeddyFreddy** , possibly Yogi Berra said “Include me out.” Then again, it could have been Samuel Goldwyn. Might look that one up later, too. F\_X ---

**Flamsterette\_X** , right you are – it was indeed Samuel Goldwyn. Just one of the many memorable things he said: [http://rinkworks.com/said/samuelgoldwyn.shtml](http://rinkworks.com/said/samuelgoldwyn.shtml) ---

I’ll look at it later. I used to know a bunch more things that he said. “An oral contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on” is another one of his sayings, I think. Cool site for future reference. 🙂 F\_X ---

Hey, **Satisying Andy Licious** , mind if I invite a few friends over to your private thread? Not a lot, just 30 horses, five ponies, three goats, one mini mare named Whitney, one mini donkey named Dudley, six creepy-eyed beady-looking guinea hens, a water-phobic duck, an ex-turkey, two rabbits up at the owner’s house, assorted cats, a fetch-obsessed dog named Tyson, and the raccoon that raids the grainroom. I’m throwing a little party. Nothing too outrageous, just a small shindig for a select few Dopers and others. Just a small celebration of _ **MY 500TH POST!!!** _. Well, yeh, holding it in the hijack thread would have been more appropriate, but no one was there when I dropped by. Besides, with an entire thread all to yourself, you’ve got a lot more room. Okay, everybody, let’s party! Who’s brought the dip? 😛 ---

Late to the party, but here I am. It’s still your thread, I’m just squatting. ---

Just wondering, **Satisfying Andy Licious** – now that you’ve become _Death, the Destroyer of Worlds_, will you be needing this thread any longer? I mean, I’m assuming you get housing with your new job and all. What with all those black robes and scythes, and the tack for Pale and so forth – this old thread might be kind of cramped now. **NoClueBoy** said he could use the space for storing used predictions. I need some roosting room for the guinea hens. **fizzygoodmakefeelnice** needs some room for practicing her waltz steps with the turkey. **lel** … Well, actually, she’s having a thread of her own built for all that prognosticator gear, but until the contractor’s finished with it, can she store some here? ---
