Hopefully the mods will point me in the right direction if this is not the appropriate forum. About six months ago, a post in the BBQ Pit pointed to another thread about tradesmen spending too long in a clients toilet. For the life of me I can’t remember sufficient keywords to find it again- I was probably laughing to much. If someone remembers the post- could they please supply a link? ---

Oh I remember that thread. I was still lurking then. Let me think on it for awhile and see if it comes to me. ---

Well geez, if that’s all it takes…! **samclem** , would you please find me that post Giraffe did that thread that I think was in the Pit but I don’t know for sure and I don’t remember what it was about. It was several months ago, but less than a year. I believe. I do remember the post included his sig line about a giraffe’s tongue and it was brilliant. I’ve had no luck. 😉 ---

:smack: I read the OP _three times_ and I still kept seeing the word “tradesmen” as “transmen.” ---

[/QUOTE] :smack: NOW I know where I’ve met you before! It’s really been bugging me. It was way back when I worked in the video store. So how have you been? It was great having you as a customer. (And by great, I mean a total pain in the ass.) ---

Are you the guy who helped me find that one movie with the chick who played that boxer guy’s sister in that movie that I think was a drama but it could have been comedy and anyway it won some award? Yeah, hi! Howareya? ---

That thread is pure gold. Every time it gets linked, I read the whole thing. ---

I have just wasted an hour laughing. The original post was funny enough, but the responses were magic. ---

Og, that was an awesome thread. A bit before my time, so I’m glad it was linked to. Did that thread cause the OP to disappear? I notice her last activity was two weeks after that thread finally died off. ---

_MIdnight???_ WTF? How the heck do you people keep doing this to me? I just spent my whole evening reading threads that were at least 2 years old! Links to classic threads within classic threads should be banned, I tell ya. ---

I am glad I am not the only one with a perverted sense of humour.
