Based upon the success of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=350800&page=1&pp=50) it is time to play again. Ready Dopers? This is the first post: I have been married to the same woman for the last eight years. Most of the time it has been a happy marriage, but I have recently found myself looking a pron on the internet more than usual. I may spend up to four hours a day looking a pron. Is this normal? What should I do about it? Sgt Schwartz ---

That’s really a coincidence, because I spend about 4 hours a day going to grocery stores so I can look a prawns. Does anyone have a good scampi recipe? ---

No, silly. He wants to look at pawns. He also has an accent on top of his chess fetish. It’s a Boston accent, so it sounds like _paaaaahwns_. ---

Must you nature-loving theist hippies hijack every thread? :rolleyes: You know, some of us just _enjoy_ nature without having to engage in that non-empirically verifiable “communing” bullshit.
