[spoiler]That’s right, the all spoiler thread. has this been done before? Who’s going to goof it up first? or who’s going to show me that it’s already been done? (I didn’t check, as I hate to take the pleasure away from those who get so much entertainment out of showing their searching skills. Just enclose everything in between (spoiler) (/spoiler) tags, except with , not (). So, feel free to unfasten your seatbelts and talk amongst yourselves.[/spoiler] ---

**A** sequential, bolded first letter, alphabetical, spoiler only thread. That should be fun ---

[spoiler]Yes. Yes it will. Which pretty much makes it more mundane and pointless. I suppose since this is a spoiler thread, I could add a spoiler. The Crying Game: The chick’s a dude![/spoiler] ---

[spoiler]Well, this might not be a good idea. Check out Arnold Winkelried’s post in the “FAQ - guidelines for posting at the SDMB” in ATMB. He gave us a warning about this stuff. But anyway, why can’t we put any text after the colon after spoiler? South Park spoilerI just watched the first two South Parks. It was a real hoot to see Cartman called Kenny AND getting killed. Heh heh heh heh.[/spoiler] ---

But I can always say it was good while it lasted. It may annoy the mods, but if I’m not breaking any rules, would they really close it? ☹ Hey, look. Smileys are spoiler proof! ---

Well, this is certainly irritating. Folks, just because you **can** do something, doesn’t mean you _should_ I’m locing this thread because I’m not spending the time required to highlight all these posts, so I can read 'em.
