er, might
And I for one, sir, admire you for your desperate struggle in your fight to remain dead. Good for you. Keep it up.
YOU’RE Wilfred Brimley? Then why have I been hitting on Ssskuggiii?
Oh, right, and now I’m supposed to pretend I’m some Japanese billionaire? Like that’s going to help.
(It’s been brewing in the back of my mind. If I do it (and you’re certainly free to do it without me,) I’d like to make sure that we iron out the flaws that plagued us in the last one, and strike the right balance between Lip-synced campiness, and kick-ass cuisine.)
I’m really John Corrado, and John Corrado is really Mariah Carey.

Oh, I get it! “ironed out”…Iron Chef! That is SO unbelievably funny. You ARE Dave Barry! I knew it!

If it turns you on, I’ll be Dave Barry…
An oatmeal deficiency, perhaps?
inor:
Hester Prynne (note correct spelling) is the subject of the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel The Scarlet Letter, and IIRC she was a seamstress.
So there you go.
I usually refer to her not as Hester Prynne but as Mother-of-Pearl.
Okay, thanks to all who ruined my ruse. Here was my plan:
Step 1: I don’t know the source of the quote that Scylla tossed at me, but I’ll make a smart ass remark and see if anyone fills me in.
Step 2: Aha! Now I realize that I know something Inor doesn’t know. Perhaps I can trade him MY information for HIS and thus, come out looking like I’m bright on my own. Consequently, I assumed everyone knew about Mother-of-Pearl. It wasn’t intended to be cryptic…just stupid.
Step 3: You all pre-inform Inor so that I can’t get any information out of him and now I STILL don’t know where that stupid line came from and no one will tell me.
The reason I asked for a SEAM ripper is so I could tear this damned “A” off my chest. Get it? I could have also asked for a pair of scissors, but I figured then someone would ask me why I was giving myself a haircut.

P.S. Frogs turn me on more than Dave Barry.
Now who’s Pearl then?
(This is not a hijack- Scylla is famous, famous is Scylla, stupid email, stupid email, Scylla is famous. And so is everybody else unless they aren’t…)
Sexy- I’on’t know where that drinkin thing comes from, I jsut know it didn’t come from the big book. And quit lyin, you butt fart head, you did to think so, yer jsut tryina be all smart and 'at.
Whataminit! More than 3 threadspotting threads? That has to be some kind of record.
I, for one, cannot imagine our Scylla[sup]TM[/sup] sitting at home in his bathrobe drinking a case of Budweiser a day and getting married 3 or 4 times.
He’s definitely not Dave Barry.
And yes, I said our Scylla. We own him. See the trademark? Scylla[sup]TM
How much is Dave Barry turned on by Frogs?
And, excuse me, but you were really trying to barter information with inor??? 
(No offense inor, but information is not your usual stock-in-trade. ;))
Who cares how Dave Barry feels about frogs? The important question is how does SexyWriter feel about Bat Boys.
Yeah, I’m famous. I’m famous for inadvertantly hijacking threads.
And I LOVE Bad Boys. Oh, you said Bat Boys. Cute kids…I often wonder how they get those jobs with the basball teams.
And as long as I’ve already gotten off the subject, fuck you very much, Fiver, for correcting my spelling. Because I didn’t feel stupid enough already.
And Pearl is Hester’s illegitimate daugther, Inor. Thus the joke, “mother-of-pearl.” Get it now?

You are a sexual predator, and the song was ‘The Rapper’ by the Jaggerz (from the early '70’s, before Rap as we know and ahem, love it today.)
Din’t think anyone would know, DIDJA?
I’m Elvis.
Thank you very much.

Hey! I’ve met John Corrado! And while he does have that same sexy smile that Mariah has, I don’t think she can sing as well as he can!
As for fame…will you settle for notorious? I once told a competitor of the magazine I was working for at the time that I would drive him into the ground and ensure that he children grew up cold and hungry. And I did this at a convention, on the trade show floor.
I’m still hearing about it.

I’ll have you know young lady, that I have at least 8 threadspotting threads, and I think I’m missing one or two.
(and thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to point that out)
It seems to me that this is an accomplishment that has never been equalled in all of human history.
8!? Wow.
Can I be in your fan club?
