Trion, was she made of wood? 'Cause I have these large scales and… [sub]nevermind[/sub]
ultress, my wife says the same thing all the time! 
Well, if women rule… and they’re made of wood…
then Lynn’s a judge!
You got better!
Is there some kind of law stating that these things must always degenerate into Monty Python quotes?
Yay! Fenris liked my title! I just swooned for the first time. Can I be in the clique now? Please pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top?
I also like what you posted in IzzyR’s thread. Thank you for succinctly summing up my argument. I thought I was being completely whooshed over or something.
Seriously, though, it frightens me that some people think what you typed is true.
Fenris, will you marry me? I’ll even read sci-fi for you, baby! 
Well-liked here, perhaps, but over at Keenspace… 
Fenris, you rock.

There is no key to the clique bathroom. The door is opened by a combination of biometrics, passwords (“hi, Opal” was last weeks), trivia questions, and you multiply your total score on the trivia questions against your post count.
(I’m not part of the clique, I just hang out in front of the bathroom to get the gossip).
Daowajanm k.os, Arden, Michael, Slip, Esprix: Thanks!
SPOOFE: C’mon. Everyone knows you’re one of the Clique’s ringleaders. It’s time to drop the charade, man!
Twist: Maybe. It took me weeks to remove the industrial strenght wedgie I got from revealing the minutes of the last one.
Vanilla: Nope. I even provided a cite. I’m always an outsider 
Besides, yojimbo linked to the minutes of the last one, and as you can see, I’m not part of them.
Lib: For the life of me, I can’t tell if you’re serious or not. If you’re serious, the minute Tuba lets me know that she was offended, I’ll humbly apologize and grovel for her forgiveness…but I doubt that she will be.
On the other hand, If you’re kidding, give yourself a pat on the back for wooshing me harder than I’ve been wooshed in a long time
N4S: 
I thought you were in the clique! Marriage? It’s such a big step…but if you’re willing to read SF, then…
Fenris
Well, Fenny, apparently I was involved in the Clique at the time that John Corrado posted those minutes… after reading that, it’s all coming back to me. Apparently, I was drunk off my ass at the time of that last meeting, and I just forgot.
Jeez, my subcommittee on Sci-Fi questions is lagging, big time. I’d better go get CarnivorousPlant to help formulate the next big “Star Wars vs. Star Trek” type thread…
I still haven’t gotten my key to the Elite Clique bathroom, or my access card to the Clique Orgy Room…
That’s because I’ve been stealing your mail and…
Oops.
Was that my outside voice?
Let’s christen it Walrustitty’s Law.
The probability of a thread degenerating into Monty Python quotes is directly proportional to thread length plus Silliness Quotient.
Silliness Quotient is a number roughly related to the number of times witches, moose, swallows, shubberies, herrings, ducks, newts, rabbits, after-dinner mints, organ donation, tape recorders, parrots, hovercrafts, eels, arguments, brontosauruses, travel agents, architects, Nazis, vicars, dirty vicars, tobacconists, chemists, antelopes, Mount Kilaminjaro, Attila the Hun, the RAF, the Messiah, sex education, rugby, Long John Silver, anyone by the name of Brian, anyone by the name of Olaf, gumbies, loonies, twits, pepperpots, coal mines, blancmange, lumberjacks, Watney’s Red Barrel, woody or tinny words, Jean-Paul Sartre, Proust, penguins, Scotsmen, or spam appear in the thread. This list is by no means inclusive.
I propose the following corollary:
All Fenris threads are believed to start with such a high Silliness Quotient that it is impossible to prevent the Monty Python references except by having the thread prematurely closed.
Quoting Monty Python online is obviously safer than in real life.
