I must Confess, I think this thread’s theme song should contain these lyrics:

- 

And I’m so lonely  
Feel like I’m gonna  
Hack hack hack hack it apart

I propose, in honor of “South Park,” that all future #3’s shall read:

1. Profit!

I’m afraid your attempt at jocularity is lost upon my delicate sensibilities. Can you explain the reference? I haven’t seen that show for years.

There was an episode where Tweak had a bunch of gnomes stealing his underwear, but nobody believed him. Some stuff happened that I don’t remember and they ended up in the gnomes hideout. They explained their profit plan as follows:

1.) Steal Underpants  
2.) ???  
3.) Profit

As for using “Profit” as the new #3 on lists to avoid overused SDMB cliches, I like it. It has a beat and you can dance to it.

Sorry, but PLEASE NO! It’s been done to death elsewhere on the internet. I’d hate to see it infest us over here.

I’m just miffed that nobody ever adopted _my_ original suggestion for a new #3:

1. Axe-wielding baboon on the loose!

I’ma go pout now.

Well, I like your username anyway :D. Very neat. I didn’t get the reference to “hack her to death with a kitchen knife”, but I liked in for it’s sick “frog in a blender” type humor.

I missed all the “hi Opal” threads that started the trend, so I never did it. But I don’t think folks that use an in joke are some sort of nonthinking dullards that can’t think of anything on their own. IMHO, it’s just a silly bit of camaraderie. sheesh, lighten up folks.
