Sorry…you’ve _actually_ been surrounded for the last 3 years and 5 months by people speaking Pig Latin. On the upside, you now get to star in our new “reality TV” show, _I Didn’t Think French Sounded Like That!_

We’ll take your word for it. 😉

OK, so I guess this is a de facto sequential threads thread. I suggest move to MPSIMS, perhaps edit title to **Juxtaposed Sequential Threads** for easy recognition, and close [current](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=676570) sequential threads thread. It’s getting a bit long in the tooth anyway.

Oh, and welcome to the dark side, we have cookies.

I agree with the thread name change and the closure of the other one. For a selfish reason: I find the latest sequential thread by control-effing for "seq"in MPSIMS and this wouldn’t appear via that method.

ETA: plus it’s a pretty funny sequential thread find.
