Anyone with an avatar is not a Straight Doper.

Dude…you just broke the space/time continuum. Get a mop and don’t come back until you’re done cleaning up Aisle Four.

As part of the first counter revolution, I think we should give **kayaker** not just a wedgie, but an atomic wedgie.

Before we bleed and zap them we have to take the dogs out or all this will be for naught.  
Unless we are counting my evil laughs and taunting sneers.

Hmm. Maybe all the former Admins have been invited to a deserted island by Cecil a la _And Then There Were None_. One of them allowed the hack - but who? Right at this moment they sit, in 1930s style suits and gowns, at the dinner table, each one glaring suspiciously at the other, _wondering_ . . .  
Was it Marley23, who slices into his chicken so innocently? Was it Tubadiva, distractedly looking up at the glimmering crystal chandelier that ever-so-slowly rotates overhead? Was it Ed Zotti, who expertly pours himself a glass of fine red wine? Cecil stares at each and every one of the silent dinner table members, contemplating, measuring, _plotting_ . . .  
Or, you know, it’s probably some totally mundane reason that a Moderator will explain to us soon. But still.

Perhaps it is an experiment to see if we go _Lord of the Flies._  
Whoosh the piggie!
