Oh, ha ha ha! Something “brew” you “hair”… Oh ha ha ha! I laughed so hard that it didn’t hurt… DO you hear the refrain “PLEASE NOTICE ME!” Yeah, I’ll bet you do… And now that I have (noticed you) does it hurt? It should. I think (Please let me be the only) to do so. I honestly don’t think anyone will pop in after this… I hope not… You silly kins! ---

no probably not. unless you count me. just playing around. But what can you expect from someone who spent 12 of the last 24 hours laying tile? and the rest of the time just pacing around thinking. thinking. thinking. mostly about my planck length answer. which I really enjoyed mind you. as per the ‘notice me’ idea, I should advise you that that’s not the case as I don’t care, I posted because it was silly, mundane, and absolutely pointless. Not quite wallpaper on the Titanic mind you but when you’ve mistyped the same sentence a few times odd things pop into your head. odd things indeed. ---

Might even get me a putz award, heeheehee. What had happened was I had opened the thread starter just to play around with the codes sub, sup, b, u, i, and all that stuff and I kept getting typos everytime I previewed. Said to myself ‘this this is haunted’ and boom, I did it. ---

[screeching halt] > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by brother rat \* > **…watch owl floor the whore…** HANH!?!?! Out of context, that’s pretty incriminating. But then again, this whole thread is a little, um, surreal. [/screeching halt] But owls are usually found around haunted places, so here goes… ::ahem:: ::kaff, kaff, ack:: **WHOOOOO! WHOOOOOOOOO!

Hey, this isn’t the thread where all those teenagers got brutally murdered and dismembered last year, is it? Naaah…thats just a myth. Well anyway, nice thread, real nice, and…what’s that? We’re out of beer? No problem. I’ll just run out to the shed to get some more. I’ll be right back… ---

Hell, dude, I spent significant parts of yesterday and Thursday laying concrete\*, and you don’t see me doing this:) Were there any interesting chemicals around, and was the air circulation okay? 'Cuz if so, I want some of whatever you’re smoking:) \*I’m not even gonna go there. ---

No beer and no TV makes Homer something something… Go crazy? Don’t mind if I do! [Various ‘crazy’ spasms.] Yes, I’m a Simpsons fan. Anyway, perhaps the _Byzantine Witch Project_ will be the next boxoffice blockbuster. But I wouldn’t count on it. 😃 ---

Okay, while Weird Al is off innocently getting the beer, I think I will randomly make out with someone to occupy my time. No harm in that right? ---

> [@](#): > > ::Above post:: > > What the heck was all that about? Folks, my “harsh” comment referred to **Byzantine** , not **brother rat**. I got lazy, it was close to midnight here, and didn’t quote. Just hoped putting “Above post” was sufficient. I thought the OP was damn interesting, **brother rat** has every right to post what he wants, because it’s 99.999% cool. Anyone want to say different – start up a Pit Thread, and we’ll see what happens. **brother rat** – like I said to you in e-mail – you definitely ain’t “boo worthy”, whatever the heck _that_ means! ---
