Perhaps we’d be able to better appreciate your posts if we knew you better as a person. I strongly recommend that you flesh out your profile to grant us a better understanding of your heritage, upbringing, and unique perspective in life. For instance, a URL like this one ([http://homepages.theonion.com/PersonalPages/jAnchower/](http://homepages.theonion.com/PersonalPages/jAnchower/)) could be linked directly to your personal profile elsewhere on the web. Food for thought.

No really, are you him?

I would like to take this time to endorse any and all **Super Kapowzler** threads. **Super Kapowzler** ’s genius is profound in realms of linguistic subtlety unseen since the heyday of Bob Dylan. To close a **Super Kapowzler** thread is to look upon the divine scripture of life and creation’s greatest meaning, and slam it shut before your very eyes, e’er to dwell in ignorance of the utmost truths of existence.

On an unrelated note, I would also like to endorse Polar Ice Canadian Vodka.

And shit.

And you didn’t want to tip your hand because?

You wanted to ask a question, and you wanted to get answers to the question, but you didn’t want anyone to actually _know_ you’d asked a question; is that the premise we’re working from here?

Now I’m wanting to see the thread that was shut down.

Don’t tell me, it was even more difficult to parse than this one?

I was walking by a very young couple in the park yesterday, while walking my dog. He was totally working the gangsta wannabe wardrobe and as I walked by I overheard the girl say, “Dude, stop talking like that I can’t understand you, just speak English already.” You could kind of see on his face that he wanted to impress the girl and she said it kind of gently. I wanted to scream, “True that!”, but being over 50, I resisted the urge.😃

Apparently you don’t remember your welcome back thread. I’m not sure why I do. I mean, come on, if the SEC isn’t a gimmick, I don’t know what is!

Now who inflicted that upon this very messageboard?

Also, I’m very pro- **Kapowzler**. Is there really a witch hunt brewing?
