OP stumbles back in drunk and posts a [link to Turtle Fence video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qizNQKzatXA) 'cause at the time, it seems funny and thus hijacking her own thread.

Semi-serious response, now that the thread is into its third page and might survive a moment of non-nonsense without being totally hijacked into serious responses. Not just once, but at least:

There are no doubt others that might be listed in a similar post, for the curious to enjoy as they ponder an inappropriate reply to this thread.

Perhaps there are new Dopers who haven’t had the thrill of adding to such a parade of wit who may still wish to play along. Others who were there at the time can wallow in the nostalgia.

And there’s absolutely no requirement even to read this.

Back to the nonsense, perhaps? 😃
