Well, I don’t know about _famous_ hon, but I _did_ wanna say thanks to everyone for looking in on me over there, and helping to make me not look like _too_ big of a fool. Maybe I should have stuck to that old writer’s axiom: “Write what you **know**.” Still was a lot of fun, though! 😃 Q ---

Woah woah woah. You are stressed about posting in GD? The same Great Debtes witha 10 page thread on 1920’s style death rays? A thread that has spawned a Web page, AND a mixed drink (1oz Blue Tequila, 1 Oz Gin, 1oz Sprite. mix Liqour with twists of lime and limon shake, drain over ice add sprite.) I mean really people, they are dopers after all. 😉 ---

Here’s a tip for GD . Anytime someone creates an analogy that devistates your argument, just say “That’s just a strawman”, then refuse to discus it. 😉 ---

I’ll have to try that strategy - and I need help, because I just don’t think I’m up to debating someone who’s been pitted twice. Blood hasn’t been drawn yet, but… Quasimodem - you out there? If so, visit your GD thread and give a Southern blonde some assistance. 😃 ---

**Monkey Mule** , have you noticed that the Death ray thread is in GQ? For the future I advise you to check your facts before uttering such falsehoods bordering on slander. Mere trivialities such as these are far beneath the elevated discourse of the denizens of GD. 😉 ---

Jeez, **Blonde** , you sure know how to pick a fight (meaning that **Susann** person). I had no idea she was so, er, infamous. Thanks for the link. ---
