I hope this isn’t seen as a post padding or party thread. If it really is then, by all means, close it, but I didn’t start it with that intention. That being said, basically paste what you last copied no matter how personal, troublemaking, embarassing, unusual, or questioning. Just as long as it isn’t anything illegal or breaks the rules of the SDMB. Don’t offer any explaination, just paste the last thing you have copied. * * * 1 John Malkovich 2 Mary-Kate Olsen 3 Weight loss 4 Photoshop 5 Coffee 6 Alcohol 7 Dogs 8 CSI 9 radiohead 10 rain 11 money 12 dreaming 13 drawing 14 homophobics 15 Mary Bell 16 unsolved mysteries 17 knives 18 Poetic Justice 19 Eyeliner 20 Guitar ---

I typed Ctrl-V and got “Ĝ”. I pressed Preview, and got the following message: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 2 characters. 🙂 ---

[hijack] On of my friends did exactly this (CTRL-V) and found a love letter from his wife to some guy she was cheating on him with. (I assume it was written off-line and cut-and-pasted into Hotmail). Needless to say, the marriage went belly-up after that. [/hijack] ---
