Worst fuckin’ haiku I’ve read in weeks (idea for another thread?). Keep it up **pipper** , you’re going to fit right in.

Another idea for a shite/short thread - guess _which_ Steve Wright **Steve Wright** is. The Americans will all say “I thought it was Steve_n_”, the Brits will all say “is it that afternoon, TotP2 guy, y’know, the one who Mel Brooks accused of having a Jewish nose?” and you’ll say “no - it’s me!” All done ‘n’ dusted in about five posts, no fatalities.

I’m a Mom.

Two outta three ain’t bad… But if I was a Fairy, I’d be like Carol Kane in Scrooged.

Oh, chill out, it’s just a harmless little joke. Besides, if you’re so concerned about our bandwidth why do you compound the problem by replying?

What?

(slapping self on wrist :D)

I am not really an elf.

There are not so many of us elves that we need numerical designators.

We do not control U.S. economic policy.

Please go back to sleep.

I am not really a 13th-century composer. I am, in fact, Spartacus.

I have no problem with the other mods names, just Coldfire because it is dangerous. I don’t think any of us wants to see kids burn themselves.

Alright, enough. **BZ0000** , this thread is locked. And I’m warning you: you’re walking pretty close to the line, my friend.

Kids burning themselves because of a message board username. Sure.

No more trolling, or your posting privileges will be revoked.

The rest of you, thanks for the laughs.
