(At least, I don’t.) And to hijack my hijack, anyone else ever notice that “Get a room” is always said to those who are getting some, by those who **aren’t**?? Think about it. ---

I think its your job to find an occurence of “Get A Room” in the Bard’s many works. Are you up to the task? I mean, if you can find {OVERUSED PITWORD} in there, I am sure you can find “Get A Room” Get to it madman! 🙂 > [@](#): > > Maybe soak it in one of those drinks you > were trying to mooch?

Some people really need to get a room) \*\* Well, honey darlin’, since you have forbidden me to post in the pit anymore, I realize that I am going to get into trouble. However, since I actually **have** a room, and since it is many, many miles north of where you are, and since I am **ALWAYS** short, (5’4" if I stretch,) then can I ask you to help me out since I am short? PS-I still need to be enlightened as to the other 2%. Why is the lady in question always the last to know? Scotti ---
