Well, the “charter” of this thread did say “great thoughts.” So perhaps we can successfully crosspost in this very subthread after a spirited bout of flaming each other over in the BBQ Pit.

I’ll start:

Opal: Peace?

Cheers!

This was the oldest unanswered thread in MPSIMS. Beat that for pointless mundanity.

You just a little bit bored today, Android? Damned football hooligans are always trying to pick a stir up trouble.

UncleBeer!!! Where have you been??? I have missed your MPSIMS threads… Are you developing a serious side?

I’m here and there Purp. Since I post solely from work and we seem to be extremely busy as of late, I don’t get here as much as I did used to.

Hey, I’m new to this Board. What’s the dirt? Did Monty and Opal make up? Did Monica have Steele’s baby? Has Dirk confronted his father about not disclosing he had a twin brother (an evil twin, of course)? Did Jack and Hilary resolve their differences and take Baby Tina to London?

What happened? I need to know. I need to know! I NEED TO KNOW!

Of course, the fact that Opal didn’t respond might be a clue.

Mmm, sure…listen…  
Do you think I could interest you in a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers?
