If you do fall and die we’ll set up a little **spine** on the site to leave offerings at. ---

You don’t exactly **shrine** at this game as brightly as the sun does at noon. ---

You don’t sound so bright either. Perhaps you drank too much beer out of your **shine**. ---

I’m lost. It seems to me it would be awfully difficult to scoop up much beer on the **stein** s of a fork!? ---

Drink beer with a fork? Who has **tine** for that? ---

Wait a minute. We were just here a short **time** ago ([Post 518](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15614513&postcount=518)to be exact.) I think it’s necessary to treat this thread like a computer that’s fouled up and robot it. ---

I don’t know why you’d want to **reboot** the thread. I don’t see any way of proving that this is wrong or erroneous. ---

Besides, I don’t think the board software is set up to make **rebut** threads. It won’t even let you post pictures, let alone integrate them into your response. ---

No silly, you’re thinking of **Remus** , which is a bundle of 500 sheets of paper. ---

Last night while sleeping I had a **ream** about 500 sheets of paper. ---

Last night I had a **dream** , it had a delicious orange shell and ice milk on the inside. It was soo good. ---

I learn something new each time I open this thread. I never imagined the **dreamsicle** , the symbol of the Communist movement, was filled with icemilk. ---

I never had a **sickle** of my own until Christmas the year I was ten. I had to ride an old one of my sister’s - not a source of pride to a young boy. ---

There’s nothing wrong with **bicycles.** I think it’s cool that they swing both ways. ---

Well, it better be a lot of money if you wanted to buy a white **trifecta** , seeing as how it’s the most expensive foodstuff in the world. ---

Uh, I wouldn’t want to eat it, you know because it’s a board game, but you’re clearly talking about Pop-o-Matic **Truffle**. ---

You’re getting your playthings mixed up. A **trouble** is a cute little furball that reproduces constantly and annoys Klingons.
