I think this thread has had its brain posted out, if you catch my meanin’, if you get my drift… ---

Why would silicone breasts need to be relaced? Aren’t they the pinnacle of cosmetic surgery? I fail to see the thrust of your argument. ---

“Show a printable version” is also broken. I was reading a particularly nasty pit thread which offended my (ahem) delicate sensitivities, so I hit “Show a printable version.” All of the unprintable words and suggestions were unchanged. ---

Yes, it (and we) do. JRootabega: I see you are a newbie. When I was one, about 1,762,359 Dopers told me not to hit the enter button, which made my posts look like little haiku. I pass this tip aside. Coldfire the Mod informed me: It’s about as funny as having your penis sawed off with a rusty knife. ---

And if you’re sawing off penises with a rusty knife, I certainly HOPE you’re passing the tip aside. ---
