Nevertheless, Archer gots PMS. He may be a male, but he’s got it all the same.

I say so.

Yes, I said “Gots” on porpoise.

Back in the day, my brother was a directory assistant for Pac Bell. Some callers would ask for a number, he’d tell them it wasn’t listed, and they’d say, “But it gots to be!”

Customers. Sigh.

So, with the board going paid, are we going to have a full crew? Anyone going to opt out of paying and go AWOL?

I didn’t say it was going immediately, only that it was going.

The hell are you, Vrewman Daniels?

(Are you supposed to capitalize “Hell”?)

Vrewman Daniels? Is he part Indian by any chance? I used to be friends with a guy in middle school named Veekram and his family was from the subcontinent. Maybe they knew each other!

(Hell is only capitalized if it’s the first word in a sentence or is specifically refering to the place, as in the sentence “I am going to go to Hell for posting the Dress Up Jesus thread in MPSIMS”.)

It was a test and you did very well.  
You will not go to hell. I mean Hell.

I think it’s a reference to Stanley G. Weinbaum’s “A Martian Odyssey.”

“We are v-r-r-riends! Ouch!”

Hm. Reading one of the millions of threads in IMHO and MPSIMS about who’s leaving and who’s staying, I’ve discovered that two of our own, \*\*athelas \*\* and **kasuo** , are going to leave us. I’d sponsor them to try to keep the crew together but I’m having to get a loan from a Ferengi loan shark to be able to stay on myself.

Boo.

Okay, I’m thinking some more about this and while I assume the most prolific of us ( **NCB** , **viva** , **tracer** , **cplant** , **Cervaise** , me) will stay, what about the guys that are regulars alongside us but don’t post anywhere near as often, like **Linus** , **Corner** , and **Wearia**? We’ve already lost **Kn\*ckers** and the threads haven’t been quite as enjoyable since.

Damn it… the senior staff can’t take much more.

Do they have money in Canada? I think the bills freeze into a block, and the coins would freeze to your skin. They use barter, and I don’t think the Straight Dope takes Moose hides.

Where would a moose hide?

Maybe they have cloaking devices, and you are being watched even now.

No, no. Moose are Canadian artillery.

It’s the beavers, who’re their Navy (submarines and amphibious assault vehicles) and their assorted birds and flying squirrels that compose their Air Force that have the cloaking devices.

Their ducks have clucking devices.

And no one knows why…
