I had that problem too. You just have to be a little quicker on the keyboard there, **swampy**. ---

Did you remember to change the algorithm to base 12 and convert to binary? That’s the only way to get the colours to line up in the secret code for posting. Oh yeah! Also, you do speak Xindi, don’t you? ---

WOOHOO! I did it! I did it! Yay Me! And it only took four tries. I’m so proud of me. Now, I need to post something insightful, witty and urbane. HAH! How bout something absolutely mindless, juvenile and smartass? That’s it. That’s more me. ---

We don’t want no hoity-toity “thinkers” here. In fact, if you start posting there and we find you’re actually using reason and logic, you’ll be put in chains. … but you _like_ chains, don’t you, Swampy? ---

Hold on a second. Before anyone else falls for the _wishes_ and stuff, are future Magic Boardians/Skippers how ghey/Whatever promised real life stories of **substance** like **Auntie Em’s Coochie**? Will there be more embarrassing tales involving private parts? I mean, there better be some payola. I don’t share my mundania with just any board. I torture a select few. Sorry like Paris Hilton, only less money and plastic. Skip, baby, you haven’t embarrassed yourself nearly enough and stop riding your wife’s coattails. Slacker. 🙂 ---

Hey! It’s not like I haven’t tried to [embarrass](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=275063) myself or anything. 😃 And I think they may end up calling themselves “Magic Minions,” and any possible get-togethers, “Magic: The Gathering” (thanks to **Horseflesh** for both of those). As for **auntie em** ’s creative output: she’s the “Head Chick in Charge” over there. You think _I’m_ gonna try to control her? ---

> [@SkipMagic](#): > > IWait. Shouldn’t a shamrock be handing out wishes? 🙂 You might just be the closest thing to a genie we’ll get on that board, so how do you feel if I turn the wish-seekers your way? 😉 Sure! Send 'em on to me. However, I must warn you that I cannot guarantee any of the wishes. I am a Yankee fan and voted Democrat - enough said? 🙂 Maybe if people wished for the _opposite_ of what they want it would work out for them 😉 ---

Alas, **Shirley** , since I got married I seem to be at a loss for embarrassing tales (though I think I still have my private parts) . . . ☹ ---
