I was worried. Really worried. I almost didn’t have a topic for today’s thread. “So don’t start one,” you say. But I _always_ start a thread on Monday. It’s a tradition for me. It makes me happy. “OK,” you concede, “start away.” Thanks, you’re swell. I was afraid I’d have to go with The Little Woman’s garage sale. She had one. It was a bust. Not a lot to build a whole thread on. Then I thought I’d do one on the dog I groomed Sunday. I groomed her and she looked good. That’s about it. “Well these aren’t as lame as the thread you started because you had to [mow the lawn](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=66966),” you point out. Thanks, but they really are lamer. More lame. Whatever. And I guess I could sit back and let one Monday drift by without starting a thread. I mean, I’ve done pretty good for myself in the last eight months. I’ve had a [thread spotted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81611), and a post taken for [_Teemings Extras_](http://www.teemings.com/extras/index.html) and a [Fan Club](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=83522) too. If I could only have a question answered by Cecil, my life would be complete. (I have great hopes for my [masturbation question](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=83481).) But, like I said, it’s a tradition with me. I nearly started a thread about a cheerleader that came to my door. She was selling discount cards for a Local Merchant. The money was for new cheerleading uniforms. We got one of the cards, because the Little Woman wanted one, but I thought the Cheerleaders didn’t deserve new uniforms. “Let them cheer naked,” I said. Really, I said that. But that’s as far as the OP would go. Unless I made up a story about how there was this one cheerleader in High School who was mean to me and used her popularity against me. But there wasn’t, so that’s that. I could make one up, but I like to think you think of me as basically honest. And I am, basically. Or essentially. Then the Fates conspired in my favor. (Conspire means “breathe together”. When you conspire you whisper amongst yourselves so no one can hear. So you have your heads really close together. That means you breathe the same air. You are “breathing together”. Ain’t language cool?) Soupo asked The Little Woman “What are we going to have for dinner tonight?” She asked “What do you want?” He said “French toast.” So I made French toast last night for dinner. With bacon. Mmmm… bacon. And hash browns fried in the bacon grease, with cheese melted on top. Apple cobbler for dessert. Now, don’t you wish I was _your_ Dad? \*\*\* I was going to replace this whole thing with: **Arooooo… The Werewolves of the Straight Dope** , I figured the Warren Zevon reference would add some “cool”. The whole idea is “If we were all werewolves, who would we have to kill to break the line?” See, most of us lurk for a while then post to someone else’s thread before we solo. Like me, I first posted to **Fenris** ’ thread. (Fenris’s thread? …a thread started by Fenris) Then there were a few Dopers who posted first in my thread. (I’m not doing any searches or links here because it’s not a real thread.) So if the Dopers who posted first in my thread wanted to remove the Curse of the Straight Dope, cutting my head off wouldn’t do it. They’d have to go after Fenris. That probably wouldn’t do it either. They’d have to beat who his “sire” was out of him, and go after that Doper. But I’m not going to. If someone else wants to, that’s Jake with me. But that would be a IMHO poll. And I like to think of myself as a MPSIMS kinda guy. Yup, Mundane and Pointless, that’s me. \*\*\* And **Fay Wray** is 94 today. -Rue. P.S. If you want to say who’s thread you first posted to, that would be Jake. But I’m not asking. You’d just be volunteering information. ---

OK… I posted first to your thread… And Fay Wray is still alive??? WOW! I’ve started a few pointless threads here myself, but of course, all of them were hilariously funny and enriched the lives of all who read them (Right? Right???). Anyways, congrats on your French Toast… you just gave me an Idea for dinner tonight…😉 ---

My pal **Astroboy** , as usual you are a little confused. It’s not who replies first, it’s whose thread did you first reply to. Since you’ve been around 8 months longer than me, I couldn’t be your “sire”. Unless you know Mr. Peabody. Or you and Sherman got drunk one night and… no, it’s best not to think about it. And your dinner idea… would that be chocolate milk, French toast or **Astrogirl** as a naked cheerleader? All three have a big plus going for them. Oooo… naked Astrogirl with butter, syrup and powdered sugar… watch out for your sheets, they’re new. -Rue. [sub]DISCLAIMER: While I have never met Astrogirl, I am sure she’s a very lovely woman, even considering her questionable taste in men. I would never want to impugn her reputation in any way. The “naked Astrogirl” crack reflects only on me. The real Astrogirl should not be held accountable for any thoughts or fantasies held by Astrboy which may or may not arise in Astroboy’s fevered imagination as a result of this, or any other, post of mine.[/sub] ---

Happy Monday **Rue**. I made my debut not in someone else’s thread but in a thread all of my very own. I am my own sire. How does that work? It was in GQ and it was about pyramids and razors. Someone laughed at me, but that was cool. I’m not bitter. I did get a bit scared though, and being the honest and open person I am, [I told everyone](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=63064). Lots of cool people told me not to be scared. **Astroboy** and **Tveblen** and **UncleBeer** and **FairChatMom** all welcomed me. Where you YOU **Rue**? [sub]It’s very weird to go back and read that thread again. Kinda cool though. And I’m not scared any more. Nuhuh.[/sub] ---

**Puddin’** , that was when I was still a Newbie. I’d only been on the Boards for a month. I didn’t know anything then. (But I do remember reading your thread.) You know where I am now. Isn’t _that_ what’s really important? Yer very special pal, Rue. If anyone else wants me to be their “very special pal” too, the joke’s on you! I already am! ---

Wow, **Rue** , you groom dogs? I have this border collie/lab mix that really needs to be cleaned and pressed. If I make you some French toast and chocolate milk, will you do my dog? I mean groom my dog, not _do_ my dog, because that would just be wrong… FTR, I like your threads and I make it a point to stalk you on the boards and see what you have to say. I’d offer to have your baby, but the aforementioned masturbation thread makes that impossible, plus I had all my baby-making stuff removed years ago, so we couldn’t have a baby anyway, but if I did some naked cheerleading, would you mow my lawn? And by that I mean cut the grass around my house, not \\* mow my lawn\* \ ummmmm, I’m losing track here. I like you, **Rue!** 😃 ---

**Snickers** (and this is why you needed a special nickname from me to you, sexual innuendo from someone with “Mom” in their name… it just isn’t right.) for you I’d do _anything_, chocolate milk optional. But maybe we could discuss the whole “naked cheerleader” angle. Yer extra special pal, Rue. **Fenris** , who was **Jar-babe** ’s “sire”? Or was _she_ _ **Scylla** ’s_. Man, that would be too creepy. Yer subordinate pal, Rue. ( **poohpah chalupa** , so you don’t feel slighted, I’l can be yer pal who really is impressed by your use of “P’s” and “O’s” if you want. I didn’t know I’d make myself everyone’s pal when I started this thread. It’s better that the [Pepe LePew schtick](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=80588) I used before.) ---

Actually, I have male and female cheerleaders at my school, so I wouldn’t mind at all discussing naked cheerleaders. Take a stand, **Rue**! Let them cheer naked! That’d make a great sig line for someone, BTW. I posted first in **Crunchy’s** Adopt-A-Newbie thread. He is the true master of the Dark Side, ya know. With his Welcome Wagon threads, he brought a lot of lurkers out of the woodwork. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/and-a-tall-glass-of-chocolate-milk/80646.md?page=2)
