See, I would never post anything in a thread like this. The kind of MPSIMS threads I like are the fun, social ones that lure the new posters in and give them a little confidence so that they’ll post more and we can get to know them and… Ah, never mind. ---

Here’s an update, My people… The Spider is going to bed. _waits for pathetic moaning to subside_ Yes, I know it _hurts_ for you not to be in my presence but I need rest, My precious sweetums. You shall not want for too long, smile now dear ones. I must let this amazing brain and divine flesh sleep. Do not cry (not longer than an hour or two, anyway) but go and get some sleep yourselves. Tomorrow is a brighter day for I shall stop by again. _waits for earthshaking applause to die down_ Sweet dreams, My people. You and I adore Me, I know. ---

I think [your own words](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4974700&postcount=14) will do nicely. 😉 _More_ drinking? Please. I’ve just coming off of a four-day visit from **kittenlm** ’s cousin. Her English cousin. Who is in the Royal Navy. The only time I haven’t been drinking the last four days was when I was at work. And [another](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4966009&postcount=38). Your fully justified **Hal** -Worship may now continue. ---

Drat! Foist by my own retard, or something! You’ve been on a four-day bender? No wonder your posts in this thread make no sense! 😛 Hal-Worship? I’ll leave that to the Bristonians. There is a church in Briston…perfect for Hal-worship! As for me, I paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen for no reason whatsoever except it’s fun: ‘Hal Briston, I served with Sir Blah, I knew Sir Blah. Sir Blah was a friend of mine. And Hal Briston, you’re not Sir Blah!’ ---
