About three years ago me and some of my friends were discussing Al Gore’s chances on getting into the presidency.
One of my friends said “Naw, Gore’s just another dank whale.” I missed the next couple minutes of the conversation trying to figure out what that meant, and decide to swallow my pride and ask what that means,but I forget to ask the question before he shuts up.
Every once in a while that quote popped back in my head, and I could never figure it out. Finally in the middle of the election mess, my mind suddenly figured it out, three years late. Dan Quayle, He’s just another Dan Quayle.
It’s a limerick, and M. A. stands for “Master of Arts”, so figure out what C. D. and A. H. stand for. It isn’t actually funny, it just funny to watch people trying to figure it out.
Here’s something else that took me a while to understand:
Q. What do you find inside a fire hydrant?
A. H2O
Q. What do you find outside a fire hydrant?
A. K9P
You know that commercial where the guy drives his car around in circles and then takes a bottle of ketchup out of the glove compartment and puts it on his burger? I just figured that one out. I’m so proud of myself.
Okay, okay, relic, put the gun down slowly and count to ten…there, feel better?
No? Okay, well, uuuhhhhhhhh… <whoosh> (what was that?)
thinksnow, I’m new here and I’m not too keen on making enemies already…so I think I should reveal what I discovered about Cecil’s middle name (I hope I’ve got it right this time…).
<whoosh> (there it goes again! What was that?)
Anyway, Cecil’s middle name is…

Okay, I’ve slapped my forehead after reading most of these posts. As for board names I never quite got, I must add Canthearya to the list. I always heard it in my head as can-tha-rea . . . it wasn’t until an old thread like this one that I realized it was Can’t hear ya.
As for the Cecil thing, I’m with Relic. If someone doesn’t reveal this and stopping playing childish, cliquish I-know-it-and-you-don’t games, I may have to go postal. I’ve tried counting letters and spaces, and while I expected to come out with 42 (The answer to life, the universe, and everything according to The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy [and on a side note, the author is another Adams–Douglas Adams]), alas I did not come out with 42, but 27. So I’m still stumped, and growing increasingly frustrated. If I don’t sleep tonight because of this, someone is going to have a mighty lot of 'splaining to do!!
I’ve had fun watching a simple comment bring such consternation to so many. I wonder how long this could have gone on?
There, uh, is nothing to “find out about Cecil.”
No middle name. No Confirmation name. No counting the letters or any other significant method.
Hence the <whoosh> reference.
[sub]Okay, now that I’ve thrown them off, I’d like to congratulate Paul for his intrepid entry to the board. Kudos. Those that know the real answer, meet me at…that place…by that thing, we’ll discuss Cecil in great detail.[/sub]
The mr. kissed his mrs.
He covered her with krs.
He kr. kr. kr.
Until he raised a bl.
The blr. killed the mrs.
Then how he mr. krs!
He mr. mr. mr.
Until he kr. sr.
Then she became his mrs.
He covered her with krs… (repeat indefinitely)
I would like to point out that I had killed this thread, at least for a month (Jan 30[sup]th[/sup] to Feb 28[sup]th[/sup]), with that little remark. You folks have had 30 full days to work on this, <whooshing> notwithstanding.

You know the song “Hook” by Blues Traveller? I thought it was a love song for a long time. It’s not. It’s a cynical observation about people who listen to music.
“It doesn’t matter what I say as long as I sing with inflection.”
