I find this thread to be infantile, pucillanimous, and extremely non-constitutional. I will take no part in such puerile, discrageful behavior. You people are a bunch of baboons. fnoonf ---

(Note to Self: Self, next time you spew snotty slander over a large group of people, don’t make the elementary mistake of spelling your screen name backwards. You’re supposed to be getting too old for that.) Sigh. ---

This is kind of a dumb topic. How about something more fun, like fisting? How many of you like fisting? What’s your favorite way to fist? Do any of you have good fisting stories? I remember getting my biggest fist. I was exhausted by the time I pulled it out! And, of course, I’ll never forget my first fist. I usually fist with my brother and my father. My brother in law isn’t much of a fisting fan, but occasionally we drag him out onto the boat for some fisting action. Fisting is more fun when you have a lot of people. ---

Why’s that, **Fnoonf**? Don’t you like the topic - have you never tried fly-fisting? I’m not a fan of it, to be honest. ET ---

Not to bring down the good humour in the topic, but I came across a programme called ieSpell, that spell-checks Internet Explorer pages. It could be _ussefull_. [www.iespell.com](http://www.iespell.com) Disclaimer: I haven’t tried it out, so don’t hold me responsible if it doesn’t work… ---
