I’m the sentimental sort. I’d like to suggest a “Turdburglar Cave Reunion” this time each year. It’s undeniable we’ve all taken part in something …_magical._ I like it **spoke** …or perhaps felonious fecal larceny? ---

Can somebody tell me what an “ass-clown” is? All I can guess is either somebody who puts makeup on his butt and walks around with his pants down. Or maybe it’s as slam against gay mimes. ---

I’d like to share with you all, if I may, a dream which I think really proves that I am spending way too much time reading on this board. I’m in an airport when suddenly the induction ceremony for the Boy Scouts begins (note: I am not a boy). Part of the ceremony appears to be the eating bread and drinking wine thing (am I right in thinking this is called communion?). I decline, and they say that the punishment for declining is that I have to swear in public (ie in front of them, right now). I stand up and yell “[insert name here which my dream self made up but which I can no longer remember] is an asshat who likes to say turdburglar!” Yeah, I definitely need to get out more. Also, I’m very disapointed. I recently came across the word ‘assgoblin’ and I thought it was like one of the coolest words ever. Now I’m never going to be able to use it for fear that someone will think I’m bashing gays. ☹ ---

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from Mr. A. Nemo or blowero, or for that matter Doghouse or minty (remind me, what did they have to do with this thread?) It’s not as much fun when the loonies won’t play anymore (I don’t mean Doghouse and minty obviously).
