I had the strangest feeling I might find something like this here.

**NoClueBoy** , we must be fellow travelers in “pushing the envelope” to see where the edge is. I found it! Thought it better to lie low for a while. You’re cool to spot that.

I guess the edge is: It can be as mundane and pointless as Brains! or This Thread, but it has to actually be about something.

I think it’s a mod mood thing. :dubious:

Besides, what’s one more dead penguin?

10-4 on the mood idea.

Sense?! In a MPSIMS thread? Don’t be silly.

"Wheeeeeeeennnnnnnn  
the Moon hits your eye  
Like a big pizza pie  
That’s amore.

When an eel hits your reel  
Like a peel-off of steel  
That’s a moray!"

You know, **Zeldar** , if you’d posted at least a couple of words in that thread, you might have gotten away with it. 😛

Wandering in: **Happy** , nursing a beer hangover and demanding the caterwauling stop.

That might just be. Wanna give it a shot under your name? I’d post to it. 😃

Boo. **Angua** checking in briefly.

You’d have thought that this thread was the limit of mundane and pointless, but obviously not. Hey, maybe we just got on the right side of **Coldie** by buying him beer at the LonDope? 😉 Not that I can remember too much from that evening.

Thanks, **Zeldar** , but I find myself too busy trying (with **peritrochoid** and **Sternvogel’s** help) to keep my Missing Link thread alive. Besides, I prefer to fly well under the mods’ radar. 😉

**Angua** , can I lure you back with some leftover Halloween candy?

Sorry, **Idle Thoughts** … I was busy telling my friend **Viper** what his screen name reminded me of. (besides the car… power tools and snakes, anyone?)

Oh, my own brother figured that out a LONG time ago when I was looking at [The Nothing Post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=112202&highlight=ozonebaby). That was certainly a fun thread. 🙂 (don’t bump it up, or I expect the mods will have yer heads for it)

Still, I think it’s best your brother figures out we’re all insane sooner rather than later. 😃

I totally agree with that one!
