At the risk of parroting some previous poster, it seems that you folks are cooking Muad’Dib’s goose–you’re robin him blind, I tell ya. But I think we’re on the thrush-hold of showing him our true feelings on the subject. I think we’ve exposed the true nature of the OP, leaving it naked as a jay bird. Of course, he’s the one who wanted to grouse about the topic. I wonder if he quails (Quayles?) at what we’ve done to his thread? Take a gander at the nonsense we’ve posted. (Of course, most of us just posted on a lark.) I wonder who will take the next tern at this? Well, buoys and gulls, I’m outta here, for now. ---

:eek: I am sharked. Sharked, I tell you, at what I’m seeing on my monitor. That we would muscle this thread around and perch it on the edge of failure, only to revel in watching it flounder about. Oh, to what depths will we skink? I toad you this would happen. ---

OK, this thread has gotten way off track. Knock it off with the bird and fish puns, you goat-felching offspring of extraterrestrial harlots who were infected with sexually transmitted plasmodial diseases. We now return you to your regularly scheduled name-calling. ---
