Reminds me of that REM song…

‘That’s me in the corner’  
\<click–next slide\>  
‘That’s me in spotlight…losing my religion’  
\<click–next slide\>

You know…the problem with this thread is that the wrong person started it. Now…if I had started this it wouldn’t have made it past the first page.

\<looks at the fat, sloth-of-a-thread\>  
Maybe I should start singing those 70s ballads now…

Join me in a rendition of “One tin soldier”

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,  
go ahead and cheat a friend  
If do it in the name of Heavan  
you can justify it in the end.  
There won’t be any trumpets blowing  
on that judgment day.  
In the early morning afterrrrrrr  
One tin soldier rides awaaaaaay.

Everybody

Go ahead…

Maybe this whole 70s ballad approach is too dangerous to the wrong element. I want to kill the thread…not everyone posting.

Thinksnow, you’re always cold…they were afraid you’d melt all over them (heehee!) if they gave you _the Jester treatment_…but I with my magic snow-cooling, autorefilling freezer can save you…Fierra draws a blanket of snow over herself and Thinksnow to enable her to concentrate better on the, on the, erm, yeah, resucitation attempts…

Awwwww. You kids look so cute together! So frosty, so cool, so…blue???

:: pokes Fierra ::

You still alive under there? I’m not worried about the Man Of Snow…he’s got Prestone in his blood. But Fierra, you’re looking a little…crystalline.

BTW, nice story. You sure you’re not from down South here?

\<shivering, but in a good way\>

Ahhhhhh, thank you, dear one! Last time I got shut in a freezer and couldn’t breath :(, I tell you, it’s tough in these threads!

Anyhow… Snuggle in close, I’ll return the [favor](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=53847).

Hey **Wolvie** , you poked _me_! [sub]No one pays any attention for hours, and now that I want some privacy, we’ve got folks sniffing around everywhere![/sub]  
BTW, **struuter** , WRT the flavored knishes, I was thinking cheese (asiago or parm), garlic maybe with some holy basil or Greek oregano, or chocolate (or is that right out of the question?). 'Course, you can get as…uh, _creative_ with your “spices” as you wish [sub]I’ll eat anything you’ve got :D[/sub]
