In [this thread,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=128858) **Bricker** stops by to write: > [@](#): > > I’m not sure I should pay attention to your OP, Guin, until I first ascertain your breast size. Let me know. [in this thread,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=128833) **RTA** posts a **Pit** thread about Katherine Harris. **Bricker** pops in to say: > [@](#): > > And the Great Debate is… ? **Bricker,** what’s really frightening is that they were nine hours apart. A bender that long isn’t good for anybody. Duuuuude, put down the bottle of Jack and step away from the computer. 😃 Sua ---

The first example in the OP is misleading. In the context of the thread, Bricker’s post made sense. (Unless the entire point was the confusion about who the OP was.) ---

See, told you I ruined the joke. Yeah, **Izzy** the entire point was the confusion of the identity of the OPer. (what happened was, **Guin** had started a **Pit** thread earlier about her cat’s tendency to cling to **Guin’s** breasts, claws extended.) Sua ---

Well then the question is if _you_ were drinking. (This might be some new variation of Gaudere’s Law). 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SuaSponte \* > **IzzyR, I was at _work._ As I am now. I deeply, deeply resent the implication that I would consume mind-altering substances on the job that would lead me to lose track of … lose track of … lose track of something.** Some of the twisted logic in the briefs and appellate cases I see at work would definitely qualify as mind-altering substances. Login that makes _Catch 22_ seem lucid and simple. ---

Oho, **Flamsterette\_X** , I sense you have not experienced the wonder that is [Homer’s monkey butler thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37864). Ain’t nothin’ better than drunkenly longing for an ape that buttles, 'cept maybe drunkenly posting same, so that people can laugh at you years later. ---

Actually, **zut** I seem to recall reading that thread quite a while ago. Maybe I should review it. 🙂 The only reason I came up with the “space monkey” reference is that **Spoz** and I were talking once on MSN, and he mentioned one of his friends’ pickup lines. (which involved that very thing) Needless to say, they ewre all in various stages of drunkenness in a bar. I’m not too sure how well it went over, though. Don’t remember what he told me.
