john, do you realize how dangerously close you are to a life altering revelation. keep searching. i will give you another tidbit since they (read sup3rp0w3r) are closing in on me anyway.

the word “click” has been proven to make people desire firearms, the eNaRhA has known this for decades and have taken control of some of the worlds largest marketing and advertising groups to get the word “click” in the publics mind as much as possible, it all started with Minolta and their “revolutionary (note the root word) point and click” camera

now notice in your everday life how many times you hear or see the word “click”, their (eNaRhA) biggest coup has been with the computer/internet world (mouse click, click here, click on “news”, just one click away, etc.)

more words not to mention in emails/messageboards: Los Alamos, Langley, Aberdeen, volcano, NASA, mantle, Charlton Heston, White Sands, Trinity, Christian Ziege, Sergei Rebrov, Lauren Bacall, partially hydrogenated, RBGH

counting the days.

I suppose I should mention, in all honesty, that I work for the United States Government. And I read much of what gets posted on these boards.

And while I might be risking my job to say this, **i1055** , there might be knock on your door sooner than you think.

It’ll be a Jehovah’s Witness. He will say to you the word “scarecrow.”

Under no circumstances should you reply “dodecagon.”

Just a friendly word.

bjorn, I meant no offense. I absolutely adore you to pieces.

In fact, the reason I mentioned you and handy is because I think the two of you have the most interesting personalities of anyone on the board - your comments either make me laugh, cry, smile or shake my head in confusion. You are the people I would like to hang out with in real life - I could see a new perspective and never be bored.

Keep up the good work, bjorn - you are a LEGEND.

When I encounter the word “click”, I think of “cluck”, and I want to eat a chicken. I think the PEOPLE OF CHIK-FIL-A (read: s3u3p3e3r3f3r3e3a3k) are trying to control me.  
“Click” = firearms ??? WTF??? I guess it takes two to play mind control games, but you do have to bring your own equipment.

I think it’s more along the lines of:

With a gun-gun here, and a testicle-testicle there!  
Here a gun, there a testicle, everywhere a testicle-testicle!  
Old MacG.Nome had a dick! E - I - E - I - O!

What do you want to say to me?

My last post was a joke concerning a song called “everybody needs a 303”. the “303” part is either a gun or a synthesizer. but I digress. Could you please explain to me what you mean by Sofa King?

John - I could tell you what Sofa King means, but then I would have to send the men in black to kill you.

Obviously G. nome is fucking with you all. It’s obvious that this person is trying just a little too hard. My guess is that it is a bored reg.

eNaRhA - Hey, I know that place!  
Isn’t that a David Eddings book, “The Elfstones of eNaRhA”?

Hmmm, G.Nome, eNaRhA, Eddings, paranoia, fantasy worlds - Suddenly it all makes sense! G.nome must be a D&D victim! Fear not, G.nome, there is help for you [here](http://www.uic.edu/~tbrann1/mst3k/).

What Bjorn said about sarcasm and “language tools” is all I’d ever want to say. Bjorn’s a token “nigger” isn’t he? Or maybe a tasty little takeout for xenophobes. He’s never going to sing Dancing Queen so just give it up.

Well, a small percentage of New Zealanders make a living at the moment by bashing hobbits and elves with polystyrene. But, sorry, I’ve never done it myself. I’d probably hurt them too much.

I see REDRUM wherever I go. I can’t even leave my house because it’s always there. I’m afraid. They are out to get me. They want me. They want to use my body for experimentation. The trees whisper to me to run, but I can’t. I don’t know where to go, I don’t know where to go, I don’t know where to go–REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM…
