**Rex** , as much as I’d like to see this thread slink away quietly and stop tormenting my dreams, it’ll probably only be stopped by an act of Mod. ---

Yep, too early to start drinking and too late to call in sick. 😉 Hey, Hal, you missed an ‘l’ there. Unless diaing is a real word. 😃 [Spelling bee] Diaing. D-i-a-i-n-g. Diaing. [/Spelling bee] I’m diaing to use the word ‘diaing’ in a sentence. 🆒 Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit huffing paint fumes. :d ---

pssst! hey, harmless and Hal, if we do a blizzard of posts, we might could get this thing up to page 14 before the mods even notice. Just post one sentence declarations, hit Enter, then click reply to thread and repeat until dizzy. What do you say? ---

> [@Hal Briston](#): > > Naaa…besides, I’m engrossed in SDJeopardy. 🙂 Yes, very engrossing. Especially the half hour break before the Double Jeopardy round. I can see Hal, staring at the computer screen, compulsively clicking the ‘refresh’ button on his browser, humming under his breath ‘da da da da da da dum…da da da da DA - da dadadada da da da da da da dum…DA - dada da da da da…come on already when is it going to start!’ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-a-thread-killer-i-am-and-heres-proof/257304.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-a-thread-killer-i-am-and-heres-proof/257304.md?page=5)
