> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kaz \* > \*\*What’s a knish? \*\* Oh my dear, if you were my newbie initiate I should have you do a little search to tone those research muscles. But I’m a push over, if nothing else. A knish is a piece of thinly rolled dough folded over a filling…like mashed potatoes or meat. Here, have one. I hear I make a mean knish. ---

Oh, on the fruit cake thing 9 made it to their destination 2 were returned, with no forwarding address 1 was shipped to Borneo, and is being worshipped. So… I’ve got 2 handy, you do know there’s only 12 in the world at any one time? ---

Okay…so now I’m confused. (STOP laughing…I know confusion is my home state) Jester…come over here. Now listen, you’ve got to explain this to me. Was this just the thread-to-announce-the-coming-of-the-true-Threadkiller-thread? (heh heh, I started it and ended it with thread…so sue me, it’s early and I’m only on my first cup of joe) Or, is this the actual thread? Come over here and sit down, let me put my head on your satin-clad shoulder and think this through. _sigh_ Is there cake? I quite like white cake…but pumpkin or pecan pie sounds better. Oooooo, I need more coffee. ---

Upon re-reading, I would like to state humbly that either of these statements would seem to be perfect sig material, should anyone want to use them. I’m DYING for somebody to use one of my lines as a sig. Anyone?
