Lol I just joined this site, though I often look over it from time to time, and with my prier knowledge I have decided to have some fun. Anyway Ive been scheming with someone on an experiment I wanted to hold on the site and I have my hypothesis so lets see how it goes. _clears throat_
I like George Bush.

OH MY GAWD! HOW COULD YOU!
Seriously, what do you want us to do?
This could shape up to be quite funny.

You misspelled “masturbating” in your signature.

Just a heads up–anyone who performs an “experiment” just to bait people can be banned. It’s seen as trolling and it’s happened before. Just don’t take it there.
Welcome.

Not to mention “your”. it should be “you’re”, for You Are.
While we’re nitpicking. 😉

Signatures don’t show up in quote. Huh.
Anyways, **elenia25** , down near the bottom of the page, there’s a drop down box that probably shows “-- Straight Dope”. Choose “BrightLinks” and location will show, but at the loss of some other stuff. There’s a thread in ATMB.
Was there an OP? _strolls off, whistling_

“Prier” is spelled “prior” btw.
I’ll ask that you tell us what the experiment is, but I’ll assume that would ruin the “fun”.
:rolleyes:

Heya, thanks! Now it works! Well…my message board has gone from a lavender-ish to a exciting bright blue, but I like looking at the locations so I guess it’s worth it.
I did see the thread, but I must confess: I didn’t read it. I didn’t realize there was an answer, just that other people felt the same.
Thanks a bunch!
