Geeze look at his puny little post count. How could anybody be scary with so few posts? It means that he actually goes outside once in a while. Handy on the other hand(???) scares the piss outta me. What hideous malformity does he have that would keep him locked away with his computer to make all those posts?? Does he like to eat small children? Does he lock himself away with the SDMB to keep him company so he wont go out and dine on the first born children of the familys in Pacific Grove California?  
Gotta wonder.

Sweet lil ol’ you? SCARY?

Not hardly, hon. OTOH, I’d never IM you cos I’m sure you’re always swamped. Well, that and you wouldn’t know who I am. Well, that and I don’t have AIM 😃

Please stand as we read Acts chapter 20, vv 7-11:

> [@](#):
>
> On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. Seated in a window was a young man named **Eutychus** , who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!” Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left.

Nothing scary about _that_, other than the fact that you died, were brought back to life by the hug of an itinerant preacher, and you must be over 1900 years old by now. Nope, nothing at all scary 'bout that.

I’ll bet when you fly you ask for an aisle seat, huh?

All I know is, I NEVER cross the ravine by the Old Swinging Bridge. Not after dark, anyway.

Everybody knows that **Eutychus55** lives under that bridge.

On nights when the blaze is blue and the lampwick sputters, and the crickets quit and the moon is grey, you can hear him down there, sharpening his big ol’ knives.

I’m just peeking in to watch the cockroaches scatter from the light.

You don’t scare me, Euty, but then I wasn’t that freaked out (more like I thought it was funny) when we heard about oldscratch . . .

You just worry me a bit is all. But it’s a good worry.

I would just like to say that the _someone_ mentioned in the OP just tried to reach Euty on AIM, but he was not online. This certain _someone_ would like you, Eutychus, to know that she did try to talk to you. This _someone_ would also like to say that **AETBOND417** had the right idea, that your status as a moderator gives the illusion that you are somehow off limits to mere members like myse-- Umm, this _someone_.
