Oh, and I can arch my eyebrows separately. Does that qualify? I don’t think we should fear those GD regulars, just because they are smarter than us, more tenacious, more persistent, better organized, clearer thinkers, umm…errr… Didn’t **lieu** say something about donuts? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Laughing Lagomorph \* > \*\*umm…errr…Didn’t **lieu** say something about donuts? \*\* Okay, let’s get some donuts! The light’s on over the **K** rispy **K** reme place, so they’ll be nice and fresh! But **LL** , you stand guard and we’ll bring you some out, okay? I think I remember reading somewhere that an army is only as strong as it’s weakest link: its belly. So if we fill up on donuts we’ll be ready to take 'em on! I think they may have already started trying to undermine us, as this is the first opportunity since this afternoon I have had to communicate with y’all due to the dreaded “This page cannot be displayed” message! They’re using the hamsters as their pawns, trying to keep us from communicating, those devils! 😉 Q ---

C’mon, how scary could it be? Let’s take a look-see at tonight’s topics: **Why Do Gays Feel The Need To Go Public? Votes for Kids? Taking a stand on moral relativism Why isn’t logic a mandatory HS requirement? Unrepentant pair of 14 year old humpers face jail. Fair or not? What’s the deal with agnosticism, anyway? Freedom of speech: only if your opinion is pro-Bush How Long Can We Afford Iraq?** Oh. I won’t go with you! YOU CAN’T MAKE ME! Wait. Are those Krispy Kreme donuts we’re talking about? ---

Don’t worry **Quasi** , we’re right behind you! (Great Og, he started his own thread! What is he thinking? I thought he was going to post to one that was already going!) Social Security…good topic! (Jesus, man! Why didn’t you go with something easier, like that moral relativism thingy?) You’re doing great! (D’oh! He’s been asked for a cite and he’s been reprimanded for not noticing a thread on the exact same topic that was already going! All in the first 6 posts!) We’re keeping your donuts warm for you! (I like the part where **js africanus** suggested he get laid more, though.) ---

Gee you turn your back for a second and people expect you to lead! And look at Dan, our map maker and he doesn’t even know that green is for the ocean, I know I wouldn’t follow him. However I will lead the way to the donut shop that’s not a problem. Have we enough people to cross the great divide between Cafe Society and Great Debates? We will need some sacrafical people, I mean some people to hold the bridge up for us. ---

I was quoted and responded to a poster who has almost 11,000 freaking posts under his belt in your thread, **Quasimodem** - scary! Help!!! I have tried to move the thread’s “debate” towards what age we should retire. Send in the troops, please – And don’t forget the donuts! ---
