Sorry to disappoint.  
I just hope **sperfur** doesn’t do likewise.

Sorry, **Idle Thoughts** , but your evil scheme has been frustrated. (You would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for this meddling kid.)

I summon **EddyTeddyFreddy**.

me.

Yeah, okay. Nobody ever expects me.  
You’re thinking, who the heck is this chick? Just popping into our little game? Nobody important, just call me Monkeywrench.

While most the time I am, in fact, without a clue, I’m not the one you are looking for.  
It’s time for you to show yourself, **Super Gnat**.

Hi **Abby**! I’m back from the Pit. Gotta get over this addiction to it…

I’d like to see **Quadgop** , if only to learn what exactly a **Mercotan** is. But I suspect that it’s **NoClueBoy** in the lead, with **Abby** a close second, and **Lobsang** well off the pace.

Everyone duck. **Lobsang** has another thread idea!  
I predict **Lobsang** will be the next poster.

I can’t stand it any longer. **Lobsang** , do you drink Lapsang Souchong?

There; I’ve finally got it off my chest.

Link? Or shall I burden the hamsters with a search?

Then **jdavis** would come to fuss at me. (Not a snowballs chance in Houston in August, but it’s fun to call out the elite anyway.)

I haven’t written it yet. (or ‘typed’. but ‘written’ is such a nice word)

I can say with absolute certainty that the next poster will either be **NoClueBoy** or someone else.
