TJD1: **For example, have you noticed that ever since the first day of school, she hasn’t worn shorts at all, even when it was really hot?** If I don’t return to this thread in a few days, someone poke me with a (metaphorical) stick at dancinguyATlinklineDOTcom. ---

Is MM1 an expert from a “how I spent my vacation” essay? Is OS1 something to do with a collage made from magazine pages? Is TJD1 about a woman who gave up shaving her legs? ---

Hey!!! We could use more guessers in this thread! You don’t _have_ to post to guess, folks. This game is going to go rather slowly without more guessers, so would you at least consider playing? 😃 ---

OK, OK elfkin477, I’ll guess. But my guesses won’t be as funny as your guess about mine. 🙂 I can’t guess on MM1, because I remember reading that hysterical post when it was first written. EK2: The long-term advantages of legalizing drugs/stopping the War On Drugs? MON1: How to get out of a speeding ticket? ---

**LilyoftheValley** , that’s not it, but it’s closer than I was expecting. It _is_ about changing the current legal status of something, but not drugs or alcohol 🙂 ---
