Thanks, DW. Next round of knishes is for you. 😉

fierra, you crack me up. What a great sense of humor–all packed in such an attractive form. My kids were so jealous when I told them I had a friend across the pond.

And anybody can play. That’s why it’s so much fun. 😃

I guess this grease problem is getting out of hand. How much difficulty do you think I’ll have convincing Sauron to take a bath?  
Maybe I can ply him with a trail of knishes?

I like your username. 😃

You’ll take my grease when you pry it from my cold, slimy fingers. And toes. And bellybutton. And … well, no need to go there, just yet. This thread is still way too perky.

Well how do you like that? I press my firm knishes, I plant kisses and I offer a bath.

I’ll have you know that I have already attacked the thread. I heaped moronic insults upon it and kicked it. Didn’t work, no, but still…

So what does the winner get for killing the thread? An official SD t-shirt or something?

And we’re not sure what knishes are anymore. Food, anatomy, weapons of mass destruction or something more sinister? Whatever they are, I’d love to see 'em. struuter? 🙂

Sheesh! I would first like to dispell whatever rumor there is going around that I’m _frigid_. Patently untrue. “[P]rimed and ready” OTOH, is a natural state for me, **fierra** merely adds that special something, call it a glimmer in my eye if you wish.

And on that note, I was keeping a cautious eye on all things goose-greasy, so while I might “fall” on **struuter** , it won’t be because I slipped. 😃

Is there a way we could convince all the members of Menudo to gather one last time and sing to the thread? That would kill it, I bet.

Yeah, that would do it. Also, having Michael Jackson sing in the thread. Or just appear, actually. Have you **seen** him lately. I didn’t realize that he could get any scarier looking.

Great googley-moogley. If we need Michael Jackson to kill this thread…I shudder to think what we’ve come to.  
\<ducks at the realization that she typed the words ‘shudder’ and ‘come’ in the same sentence. slaps hands over mouth in shock\>

_ahem_ Um…So how is everyone today…? Good…good…

_gulp_ Ah…hehehe…why’s everybody looking at me like that?

Sorry but I listened to said song twice last night- I got a Madonna CD. Was it entertaining? Anybody calling for a lap dance? (I HAD to get you guys to stop talking about Michael Jackson and Menudo or I’d vomit or something.)

Good Lord, struuter, I knew you were shameless, but … damn.

Nothing to add. I just wanted to have the honor of following a post in which struuter used the words “shudder”, “come”, “mouth”, **and** “gulp”.

Excuse me whilse I drop an ice cube down my pants.
