[QUOTE=twickster] So, **featherlou** – that wasn’t a compliment? Silly me. What’s the last silly misunderstanding you had? [/QUOTE] Well, it could be this thread. 😃 Hey, don’t bogart the fruitcake! I love that stuff. ---

Okay, I’m about ready to throw in the towel here. All I can see for **Master Blaster** is that he’s not using the word “the,” though he does use "th’ " twice, without getting rapped. **Dotchan, bbs2k** , over to you. ---

Sorry about my absence. A client called with an emergency. [QUOTE=bbs2k] I caught her with child pornography, that’s a no-no deal breaker for me. Sent her and her sicko habits off. [/quote] Did you turn her in to the police? Does she now have a criminal record? If you didn’t, why not? ---

**Blaster Master** , what’s your favorite _Star Wars_ movie? (Host notes: Except for the first post, **featherlou** has quoted somebody…still no idea on Kat or Priceguy…I agree on **Blaster Master** ’s quirk, I might burn one of my guesses on him tonight.) ---

[QUOTE=dotchan] (Host notes: Except for the first post, **featherlou** has quoted somebody…) [/QUOTE] Hm, interesting – that’s the kind of thing that isn’t obvious when you search “all posts by..” Unfortunately, it’s past my bedtime, so I can’t look at it again tonight. ---

Phat! At last, I’m accumulating misguesses! There’s no problems with me usin’ “THEs”. I’m just more fond of “TH’”… as it is SO much closer to actual language as it is spoken. ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] _Empire_, of course. Especially, when Solo gets frozen. Wicked cool! [/QUOTE] I appreciate your taste’s so I’m trying to find this movie. I can’t find it on a simple search feature. “Empire” only gives me a couple of Japanese Samurai movies, is this the complete title? ---

[/QUOTE] {OOTG: Unable to resist… can’t stop giving smartass counters. FWIW, that is an especially…tellin’…clue, IMHO} Okay, it begins with “Star Wars”; it ends with “Back”. It also contains verb “to Strike” conjugated suitably to go with “Empire”. Plot: Battle on Hoth, Luke encounters Yoda, does Jedi training. Concurrently, Lando’s betrayal will lead to frozen Solo. Luke then learns identity of father… lost hand down huge hole. More clue in morn when ain’t so sleepy. Zzzz… ---

He’s got a more general reason, **kat** has something more specific than just citing Doper usernames – can you understand why **dotchan** and I assumed there was something more to **fluiddruid** ’s quirk than the simple fact that she liked alliteration? **frustrated** ---
