Like what? There are no employees, so that leaves out a whole lot of opportunities for evil. And, no customers, which leaves out another whole batch. What did ya have in mind?

I don’t think any of the other guys in this thread were around, back then. And, pain doesn’t arouse me; it angers me.

Ow! ☹ Sorry to hear that.

Aged? Aged how? Like a cheddar cheese? Getting sharper and tastier inside, but possibly a little moldy on the outside? Like a fine wine? Getting mellower and more valuable, unless events conspire to turn the wine into vinegar? Or, like a mushroom? Just decaying into a slimy puddle?

I think I’m aging like an old car. Possibly an old Ford Fairlane.

I managed to relieve my left knee of all of it’s skin.

Good news: I won’t have to shave my left knee for a while.  
Bad news: It appears that I have aged ever so slightly and my body just doesn’t like skinned knees anymore. I hardly slept at all Friday night because the COVERS were touching my leg.  
Two words for you, Darlin’  
LIQUID Bandage …  
Get it at your local Target store …  
spray/paint it on … and the scrape is all protected!

The worst part about these sorts of things is walking around looking like you’re ten years old. (Or maybe that’s a good thing?)  
I had more holes in the knees of my jeans as an adult than as a kid. (Oh, get your minds out of the gutter. I mean from chasing around on the floor after the kids. :p)

Has anyone else visited **twickster’s** link from [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=219440)? Amongst other things, mine said “Your special pain or illness is ardvark.” (they misspelled it, not me!) bwahahaa

I have NO idea what the heck I was thinking. I posted that while I was working on problems with the time falling back so it was 2:00 am. I think it was about some Dilbertish bureaucracy humor that I can’t even remember in the sober light of day.

Giggle COVERS touching her leg… **Jaade** Let me be the first to offer to lay in your bed and hold the covers up off of your wounded knee. (hey weren’t there a bunch of OTHER battles waged over this?)

Aditional giggling (holes in the knees of **Salem’s** pants) You didn’t think anyone was going to let that by did you? 🙂  
And a good Monday to everyone.

don’t worry about it, **dreamer** - we’re all going to learn to pronounce and spell it differently when arnold takes the helm of our sinking ship.
