Ha - I saw that thread last night and envied **Lobsang**'cos I was bored, sober, and toothachy. I hope he had a good time. I wonder if he found any monkey butlers or Manx cat butlers. ---

I hope he was just goofing, because I still can’t understand how someones typing can get all screwy when they are drunk. ---

Oof, I just read that other thread! As they say in North Dakota, Uuffdah! “Mercy killing” indeed. 😃 Tripler Man, I’ve had nights like that before, but at least I can still operate a keyboard. ---

My guess was that he was trying to represent a particular accent/speech pattern in typing. And it would be sort of interesting to know if Nostradamus predicted the end of the world for the death of the pope after pope Benny, cos then we can watch the people get all doom-laden and so on. ---

::notes the absence of a reply from **Lobsang** :: Maybe his head asploded. :eek: Then again, maybe he just hasn’t checked the SDMB today. But the other theory is much more fun, if a bit messier. ---

I believe that after ten years or more of sobriety I will start drinking in memoriam to poor old exploded **Lobsang.** It’s the least I can do. And I can also test my drunken posting skills. I’m always looking for good reasons to start drinking again, and these are overwhelmingly persuasive. Why, it seems mandatory! [sup]Oh damn, I forgot that my next binge is pretty much guaranteed to kill me. Why can’t I ever successfully forget that? I can’t wait until senility, when I can happily drink myself into painful oblivion by simply forgetting my two hospital cirrhosis episodes.[/sup] ---

[right]I am ok The thread was a ‘goof’. I was only a bit drunk. I type well when I’m really drunk. And I would pass out long before I lost the ability to move the mouse to the ‘post quick reply’ button. Wait. That can’t be right. :dubious: I did however carry on drinking. So I woke up with a headache for sure. And my head asploded![/right] ---
