I think it’s sorta fun that some of us are sitting here trolling our own Pit thread about trollers and the trolling they do. How very meta.

OTOH, we’d probably be happier with each other if we didn’t. The point of this thread (as I understand it) is for the “good guys” to band together to laugh and point at the “bad guys”. As any Marvel comics fan knows, once your good guy team starts bickering, the Forces of Evil are about to take over for several issues. :eek:

My mistake. I forgot in my haste and left it out. I just edited it to clarify. That’s what I get for doing it from my phone.

But they all come back together and work together to defeat evil in the third act.

“This is a warning… enjoy your stay”. You have a wicked sense of humor. 😉

In the example I misidentified, a “mod note.” Semantic discussions may be held as to whether there is a distinction. I know of at least one mod who, when he issues one, makes it explicit whether it is a warning or is not.

The odd thing about onion jokes is that they echo. No one knows why. 🙂

**Bone** has since edited his post to make it clear that it was indeed a warning.

ETA: Never mind. I see **Bone** has already said that.

[Here is the transcript.](https://www.npr.org/2017/11/24/566387408/what-to-do-with-your-leftover-thanksgiving-stuffing) I think I misunderstood what they were saying because they talked about pouring it out of a bag. I took that to mean uncooked, but I think they had cooked stuffing in a bag.

You’re doing your bit to add general cluelessness to a board that’s (allegedly) dedicated to fighting ignorance.

Turkey sandwich:

Turkey meat  
Bread  
Lettuce  
Tomatoes  
Cranberry sauce

Spread cranberry sauce on the bread instead of mayo. Add turkey, lettuce and tomatoes. Add other condiments as desired.

Feeds as many as you make.

The turkey and cranberry sauce tastes so good together… we should pick one day a year to make that the default dinner. How did you even think of that?
