Sanguine Spider: My naked weapon is out; quarrel: I will back thee, in bed asleep,while they do dreams things true, of thee my spider, her waggon spokes made of long spinners legs.

Plagiarised, R&J Sc1 Act 4 (well the last line is anyway)

Apologies Bill.

I am **SO** dramatic I should win an Oscar! I’m not offended. Now if you had written that I suck goat butt… then, then I’d be offended.  
**H3Knuckles** : He’s no porn clerk.

**spogga** : He’s no porn shopper.

**H3Knuckles** : He’s got a face for radio.

lamelamelamelamelamelame!! BAH!

**Mikie** likes it… but I don’t know what “it” is.

Okay then:

You see what I did there. I made a funny.\*\*

I’m glad, as I can’t say I’d be thrilled by the association.

Here’s what you do. In this example, I’m using the {curvy brackets,} so the coding will show up. When actually doing it, you would use the [square brackets.]

First, find the Post ID number of the post you want to link to. Do this by holding your cursor over the “quote” button of that particular post. The Post ID number for Gyrate’s post was 3989824. Then code the link as follows. Note that the number goes in there in two places.

My coding to quote Gyrate looks like this:  
{url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3989824#post3989824} **Gyrate** {/url}  
This info comes from “FAQ - technical issues - please read this BEFORE posting a question” in the About This Message Board forum.

> If you position your mouse button over the “quote” button at the bottom of the post, you should see a link appear in the “status bar” of your browser (usually at the bottom of the browser window), and the link will show the postid for that post. If that doesn’t work, you can press the quote button, and a new reply window will open. The URL for that reply window should show in the URL field at the top of your browser window, and the URL contains the postid for the post.  
> Example:  
> …postid=1684541#post1684541

Also, they like for us to keep sigs to a five-line maximum.

Oh, and my shameless flattery.

Yet for all these accumulated associations of H3Knuckles with whatever is sweet, and honorable, and sublime, there yet lurks an elusive something which strikes panic to the soul.

Lubricate? 😛

I didn’t even realize there **was** a “Mr. Boy” beauty contest, let alone that you’d won it in 1967. Well done, you.

Gyrate is the kind of person that makes me want to give those “penis enlargement” spams a second glance. Or they would, if I were a guy. And he were a girl.
