If you went to a restaurant that cut the meat & salad stuff with the same knife, you can get food poisoning easily. Stupid restaurant people. BTW: no such thing really as a stomach flu, flues are pretty much respiratory items. Of course, you could be pregnant too? ---

My insensitive moron friends have already pointed out the pregnancy possibility to me, but I’m 99% sure I can’t be pregnant. A) I haven’t slept with him yet, and C) I’m on birth control. (And I know I don’t had to have slept with him to be pregnant, and I know birth control has a margin of error, but I’m quite sure it’s not that). ---

Yeah, I wonder what B) was…Hmmmm Just as well, as you don’t get pregnant from sleeping with people. Pregnancy occurs from something called “sex” not “sleeping with someone.” ---

And remember, according to today’s youth, (and our esteemed former poster), a BJ is not sleeping with someone. I think… did I use “is” right? ---

If that’s all it takes, then there are dozens of gimmick posters here: me, **Little Nemo** , **John Galt** , **Podkayne** …and I don’t consider any of those to be “gimmick posters.” Please explain. ---

I think in this context a gimic poster would be someone who joins under a name to post as that persona, even though they are of course not that person. ('cause if that really was Bill, then he needs some time with a clue by 4.) I don’t think it’s the first, I remember going through older stuff one day and finding a thread started by someone starting a pity thread for themselves, having joined as **Ed Z0tti** (note zero in place of o) I don’t know of any references before then ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fiver \* > What makes a gimmick poster? Is **Silent Bob** a gimmick poster just because he’s named after a fictional character? Please explain. \*\* Silent Bob might be a “gimmick poster” because, like the character in Kevin Smith’s movies, he rarely says much beyond a smile icon. Bill Clinton (the poster) would fall into this category, too, if all of his posts concerned Monica Lewinsky and other presidential matters. (not that I’m saying either one is just a gimmick, just that that’s what **muppetsoup** meant, I think) And to answer **muppetsoup’s** question, there have been a few other gimmick posters. **Santa** , **IHeartUncleBeer** , **Equus Mortus** (or something like that) and I think even **God** have made appearances here, and they seem to fit that description. ---
