[QUOTE=Mehitabel] As someone whose sainted mother is from Brooklyn, I would like the OP to return if only to redeem the name of his fair borough. … … Hmmmm, it’s kind of early in the summer to have so many crickets around. [/QUOTE] That’s because they’re not crickets, they’re cicadas - who are also in on the conspiracy. I mean, what do you think they _do_ during the 17 years between appearances…? ---

[QUOTE=lekatt] [http://www.boston.com/news/daily/26/photo\_ban.htm](http://www.boston.com/news/daily/26/photo_ban.htm) [/QUOTE] I thought your post was attempting to support the fact that there was misreporting of the amount of debris. Never mind. You didn’t provide any context for your numbers so I didn’t know what you were trying to say. It was confusing because is showed a different amount of debris then what was removed. This was because your numbers come from 15 days after the event, so they hadn’t removed it all yet. ---

[QUOTE=Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor] **CB\_Brooklyn** has doubtless fled, realizing that the SDMB members are the Conspiracy. fnord [/QUOTE] I don’t think so. For one thing, we’d have had enough sense to frame the right guy (Saddam rather than OBL). ---

[QUOTE=AndrewL] Wow. When even Lekatt thinks you’re a loony, you might want to reconsider your position. [/QUOTE] At the moment I have a satisfactory and necessary .sig, but when I’m done moderating my Pirates game, may I humbly request the use of this one? 😃 ---

[QUOTE=xtisme] (anyone else wonder why these CT guys just keep bringing this kind of stuff here when they just get hammered flat all the time? I mean, I know there are boards out there where they could drop this kind of drive by into much more fertile soil) [/QUOTE] Maybe they think if they spread enough shit around they’ll change the composition of the soil. And the sad part is, based on the inroads they’ve made elsewhere, they would be absolutely correct in that expectation, if there weren’t people here fiercely defending our forum against their nonsense.
