As I always say in these threads, **Rick** is a peach and if I thought I could ship it I would bake him a cake. ---

Yet another vote for **Stranger on a Train**. But I have to give a shoutout to my man **Rick** , too, who accurately diagnosed my car over the Interwebs. **elucidator** brings tears of laughter to my eyes with his posts, but he knows that, and I love **Skald**. ---

But I have to give a shoutout to my man **Rick** , too, who accurately diagnosed my car over the Interwebs. **elucidator** brings tears of laughter to my eyes with his posts, but he knows that, and I love **Skald**. You know how I feel about feelings, **Mika**. You’re supposed to say, "Well, I wouldn’t shoot Skald just for yuks. There’d have to be money in it. At least a couple thousand dollars, or perahps some sort of pie. Answering the OP question: I wouldn’t shoot \*\*Mika \*\*just for yuks. There’d have to be at least a million dollars in it for me, and even then I’d figure out a way to cheat the guy who put the hit on on her. **Chronos** is reliably well-informed and rational, as is **Qadgop**. **Oak** and I disagree on several pivotal issues but understand one another. **WhyNot** would define the Short List if Mika hadn’t already done it. **Rachelleogram** amuses me. **silenus** and **carnivorousplant** will be executed quickly and painlessly when the time comes. **Sunspace** gives me good information. I know I forgot some. ---

**PSXer** is always good for a laugh. He’s so good he keeps stealing my lines. And he knows a lot about Terminator movies, so he’s a good guy to have around if you need insight on the Terminator movies. ---

I don’t usually post in threads like this because I know I’ll forget someone, and there really are so many cool folks here. But I don’t see **WhyNot** on the list here yet, so I’m giving a big shout out to her. Great advice and plenty of calm, rational thought behind it. ---

I’ve found myself laughing at posts from Vinyl Turnip, Kayaker, Der Trihs. I remember Bryan Ekers posting the fabulous phrase: Random Collection of International WiseGuys … and I still want to order the t-shirt. I remember receiving a $10 OutBack Steakhouse coupon from a link JohnT posted some months ago. Eve, come back! I must read more from you. ---

I’ll give a shoutout to **MeanOldLady** for her thread about having a mouse in her apartment. Her first couple of posts there had me giggling out loud. ---

For some reason that I don’t recall I remember thinking that Nzinga was going to be trouble. And I was absolutely right. And she is also rapidly becoming my favorite poster on the board. ---

Another big-up for **Stranger on a Train** - his depth of knowledge really shines, and I admire him for taking the time to make such detailed and informative posts. And another for **MeanOldLady** - because she makes me laugh, a lot.
