ok, but don’t come cryin’ to me when your penis isn’t 10 inches long, or you missed out on that wonderful business opportunity.

If I had a ten inch penis, I’d have many wonderful business opportunities.

Hey, she did use “damn(ed)” twice – surely **Lynn** gets some credit for that? I’ve been trying (with dismal results so far) to get “futtock” adopted here as a pseudo-obscenity that incorrigibly clean-mouthed folks could feel free to hurl at their adversaries. Maybe, **Lynn** , you could start flinging that about? Coming from an Admin, especially the Mistress of the Pit, rather than a lowly Member, it would have far more cachet, don’t you think?

A mention of cats might do it too. Although “Chocolated covered hot Japanese catgirls” is probably a Bad Idea.

Are you ribbing us?  
Suely you know that such a campaign would be shrouded in apathy.

FWIW, I never use the vB bullets. Alt+7 (no numbers) works fine on my PC…
