Can I no longer show jpgs like we used to? Did **manhattan** ever receive his $10,000 from Phaedrus? Did anyone ever prove that CKDexterHaven is Cecil? ---

To answer the first one, that’s right. When you post it says “Posts: HTML code is Off. Smilies are On. vB code is On. [IMG] code is Off.” ---

Can you go home again? Are men more sexually successful with foreskins? Is there a good fat free cheese? ---

He’s looking for trolls, of course. While we don’t have conclusive proof that Dex is not Cecil, we do know that Cecil is Catholic (or at least, was raised as such) and that Dex is Jewish. I suppose he could have converted somewhere along the way, though… ---

Methinks you, BuddhaDog are overreacting to a whimsical response by Chronos. If you truly wish to call him a putz, we have a better place for that. ---

What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story, And the greatest good is little enough: for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

Um, that was meant to be in reply to “ **waterj2** , what are you doing under a bridge?”. I didn’t say that anyone was trolling, at all. And yes, it was meant whimsically. Sorry for the misunderstanding. ---

Great, I don’t pay attention to a thread for a day or so, and I get confined to under some damn bridge. See if I get any of you Christmas presents this year. As for the Wally smilie, it gets used for both whimsical and serious putz-calling. There is no mad smilie saying “putz” to alternate with, so that little guy gets stuck with double duty.
