Oh no… :eek:

Well, **twickster** , I hope you’re happy. When I first read that a few years ago, I spent two weeks with “Man in Wheelchair Killed by Train, doo dah, doo dah…” running through my head.

You’re getting my therapy bills.

My absolute favorite of anything I ever saw on the Shuttlecocks page is still one of Lore’s [“Untitled”](http://www.brunching.com/untitled4.html) bits.

God, I do this all the time - I read thread titles, note that you could add “do dah, do dah” and have to restrain myself from posting that utterly mundane fact. It would make up about half my post count if I did.  
(Of course, now that I’ve said that, I look and there isn’t a single appropriate title in MPSIMS, with the possible exception of “He abandoned his cell phone,” but the rhythm is a little forced.)

I actually decided to take a break from the boards and do a little work here.

The next thing I typed was “CGS8505” – and you know what came next.

Damn me!
