I once tried to cure a sick cat with woo. He wooed all over the floor and I stepped it in the middle of the night. I sure fixed him, though. I took him to the vet and started stuffing pills in him every day. The woo stopped.

Read that as “started stuffing pills in him everywhere”. To clarify, the poor cat wasn’t cured of woo with suppositories, was it?

What are these “new” threads from first time posters?  
Seems like many of these have sob stories, with questionable grammar and format, and you never hear from the posters again.  
Is the SDMB now listed on some site offering personal advice?  
Or is this some form of Trojan advertising scam (note deleted email and phone number)?

Hey, I’m not a complainer! I actually kinda like **shodan’s** inevitable and inescapable “regards”.  
In a high-tension GD thread with lots of disagreements, it’s nice and polite.

But in this case, he used it after a 2-word post involving a penis. :dubious: :dubious:

I told the witch doctor I was in love with you  
I told the witch doctor I was in love with you  
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do  
He said that …
