So no Mean Sister Hustard? That was my favourite solution. You’ll always be msh to me now 🙂

Yes you are. Now put that fabulous brain of yours into solving the age old unanswered dope question 14 K of G in a FPD.

Show us what you’re made of.

Yeah, I knew that. I should have realized that the tongue in my cheek wouldn’t be visible over the internet. Considering the answer, it was just so unlikely that someone here could have answered your question.

I couldn’t see the tongue for the cheek. 🙂

Incidentally, it occurred to me at one point that someone could have interpreted MSH as Me So Horny. That would have been almost as amusing as MonoSodium Hutamate.

Well, it would have been interesting to learn that someone has plans for being aroused at a future date, and set their device to remind them to become so.

I usually just get last-minute notifications from Mrs\_Doom. 🆒

I think this is a new record for solving problems on this board - I’ve seen songs found based on 3 misrembered notes, books based on an obscure quote/scene, movies found based on something odd.

But to be able to answer what another poster meant by a three letter acronym on a reminder that they forgot -

priceless.

Also, I’m sorry but I gotta say, I get in a childish giggling fit seeing your username.

I think Peter Morris can now start a thread called “Ask the Guy Who Is Pretty Good at Telepathy”.

I almost mentioned this stupid thing in **BoyoJim** ’s [What Bird…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=667127&page=2) thread which may go similarly unanswered, but thought perhaps I’m the only one who still wonders…
