Hmmm, I’d help you, but only if it were _drunken_ Shaolin, doing merely regular Shaolin is like buying a car with a V8 and lopping off two of the cylinders.

BTW, I have to say that **look!ninjas** is just about the coolest username I’ve ever seen, though I’m still not ready to take that title away from **Czarcasm** (which had me ROFL practically when I first joined the board.) “Look, ninjas!” was also my exact reaction to that music video for “Peaches” by the Presidents of the USA.

LOL, ninjas…

That should be “I know we’re suppose **d** to be fighting ignorance…”.

My Labrador is poultry and cheese-intolerant. We’re not even going to consider the effects of salami.

I often have this same issue with packs of muenster cheese that I buy for sandwiches. The ham and turkey run out and I’m left with half a pack of cheese. My solution has been to buy extra tortillas with another dish I make, so I use the extra muenster to make quesadillas with the extra tortillas. That salami should last a while…order a pizza and slice some up on it.

I hate it when that happens. Might I suggest that you seek out some pleasant little village beset by thugs. I bet you boys will be near by.  
And, if you need an inept sidekick who manages to beat people up while trying to escape, I could use some extra work.

Actually, I started this thread. The fact that it’s under look!ninjas is because look!ninjas is one of my roommates. I posted the topic before realizing that it was under her user name and not mine. By the time I posted, it was too late! :eek:

Shouldn’t you have said “oughtn’t”?

Is correct spelling and grammer to much to ask, really? 🙂
