I was anticipating a short visit for this particular guest, but I must admit I didn’t expect a one-day wonder. Nice work by **Bone**. 🙂

My apologies, but how could a humble peon like myself know that? 😃 All I saw were some notes and warnings where **Bone** was laying the groundwork! You may have been doing the same, but alas, at the time I was mostly prowling GD and Elections.

ETA: Oh, and many thanks! 🙂

I am now convinced that it is the same serial socker. Same MO in every. single. incarnation. That’s what-5 in one month or so? His hamper has to be smelling pretty rank by now.

[Getting Boned](http://www.ultrakulture.com/2014/12/30/scared-to-death-aborigines-put-curse-on-aussie-pm/)

Not just in Australian aboriginal culture, but in many cultures, pointing a specific bone at people is to curse them.

We just have one as a moderator. 🆒

**Reddy Mercury** and **Starving Artist** have found each other at last in this [thread on cultural appropriation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=829478). Unfortunately it’s not in the Pit, so I can’t help them celebrate together. ☹

Well, we in America might call Maize “Corn”, but;

corn (usually uncountable, plural corns);

(Britain, uncountable) The main cereal plant grown for its grain in a given region, such as oats in parts of Scotland and Ireland, and wheat or barley in England and Wales.

(US, Canada, Australia, uncountable) Maize, a grain crop of the species Zea mays.

A grain or seed, especially of a cereal crop.  
He paid her the nominal fee of two corns of barley.

A small, hard particle.
