Imagine yourself at a bus stop outside a mental hospital serving a good university. The patients have generous leave privileges and few inhibitions. They may await spaceships and carry dictionaries, but they aren’t boring. And don’t be scared.

Hello! I’m GuanoLad. I am not related to anyone you might see mentioned called ‘Shitboy’. I am, in fact, the most popular guy here, amongst the female population (if I say that enough times to myself, I’m hoping it will come true). And you aren’t a _true_ SDMB member until you send me PigeonMan fan mail. 😉 Oh, and every time your number of posts reaches a multiple of ten, start a self-congratulatory thread about it. * * * **-PIGEONMAN-** Returns!

I have one word of advice for you: RUN AWAY!!! Don’t turn around, don’t look back, just go as far as you can, put as many virtual miles between yourself and this messageboard as possible, and try to forget the day you ever laid eyes upon it. Oh, yes, I was once like you, young, idealistic, but I posted once too often, got involved in one discussion too many, sent off one too many flames, and now LOOK AT ME!!! Don’t try to kid yourself, it will happen to you, you’re not strong enough to resist it, nobody is. It’s too late for me, but you can still save yourself! Go! Now! BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!! * * * An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille. ---

Yellow and Greenthings, Y2S. There are a few things that the other posters here missed. 1. There is a tax on bad puns, $.25 payable to me. I’ll let you know when you have been negligent in your payments… 😉 2. Posting without a cite can get you drummed out of the intelligent poster corps. 3. You are what you post, as well as what you eat…post drivel and we’ll either add 95 years or subtract 25 years to your age…(No girls, the subtraction doesn’t happen if you are over 45, unless you name is Jack Benny.) 4. Have fun and pay no attention to that shadow figure behind the curtain who answers to the name of Flamebait. 5. Sacrificial Virgins are to be delivered by 1200 sharp.

\I am the great & powerful Oz!!\ Uh, sorry. That’s what I say at my 9 to 5 job. Got a little confused there, Sandy. When in GQ , argue on the basis of **facts only**. When in Great Debates , argue on the basis of **either facts or ethics**. When in MPSIMS, **don’t argue, play nice**. When in the BBQ Pit…\BLOOD! KILL!
