[list][li]I really like Abba. _Abba Gold_ is a great compilation;[/li][li]I paid to see _Spice World_. Twice (admittedly, it was because I was very bored and there was nothing better on);[/li][li]I didn’t know an air guitar wasn’t a real instrument until I was 22;[/li][li]I enjoy _The Office_, but think it’s overrated;[/li](A bad one, this) I was once, very briefly, a member of the international Debbie Gibson fan club. Don’t ask how that came about. ---

Ahem. I like _Grease 2_. Not only that, but I liked it better than _Grease_. I thought \*Titanic \* was a great movie. I cried from beginning to end. I own it on video. I’ll go sit in the corner now. ---

I don’t know how to hyperlink to other SDMB threads. And I have to put in the whole URL to put up a link to some other site, because I don’t know how to do the shortcuts. Burying my face beneath the covers… ---

That’s it. To get the link for the thread you want, open the thread in a new window, and copy the entire URL from the address bar of the browser (or right-click a link to it and choose “Copy shortcut”). Then paste it into the model above. ---

I have their greatest hits cd in my car and I play it **all the time** I don’t know if it is more shameful to admit that I know all the words or to admit that I bought a “Greatest Hits Collection” (Actually, the most shameful thing to admit is that I only bought it last week, because I had worn out the previous one) ---
