See, **Chewie** , there’s another flaw in your Plan to Achieve Perfect Evil.

You shared TMI with the mods. Tsk tsk tsk.

**Cajun Man** , I think the former **Scylla** needs to take lessons from you in Evil. Do you offer correspondence courses? And can I sign up too?

If you click on **Chewie** ’s user name, you can see that under “Biography” that he is “Beset by a mysterious divine curse.”  
Hmmmmmmm.

I think the Mods need to change the name of this thread to “Wherein Cajun Man Proves He is the Most Evil.”

You got punk’d, **Chewie**. 😃

Am I the only one who expected one of **Chewie** / **Scylla** ’s posts to begin -

“Loooocy - Ah’m hoooome!”

Hilarity then ensues.

Isn’t it “penis then ensues” or has that fallen by the wayside already? It’s so difficult keeping up with Doperisms. I never know if one is passe or not. And to use one out of favor would be so gauche.

I like penis ensues. And the main reason I like it is it embarasses the originator so much.

Cajun? Cajun? Two words.

Custom. Title.

He can live with his shame exposed to all, for eternity!

As far as the joke… well, it’s a bit crude, but I can PG-13 it.

So, I’m sitting with my friend Shlomo. It’s a good name, you know, good jewish name. You guys, you call it Solomon. And I havn’t been seeing him since he moved to Israel to work on the kibbutz. But he’s back in the states, and I’m at the bar, and I say hey. And I say, hey, how’s it going, man? And he says, “Not well, buddy. Not well.” And I say, “Wow, man, what’s got you down?” And he looks at me, and he looks at me and he says, “Well, we started a new kibbutz in Israel. And I’ve been farming like a madman. But do they call me Shlomo the farmer? And I dug a well for the kibbutz, and it give forty gallons a day. But do they call me Shlomo the well-digger? And I built a bridge across the river there. But do they call me Shlomo the bridge builder? No.”

“But you \*\*\*\* onnnnneee goat…”

**liirogue** (and anyone else who may be wondering):

Scylla, trying to show us how much of a practical joker his wife is, told us the story of the time his wife got all his friends to call him Chewie for a whole week. Later he found out that she nicknamed him that because he has a hairy ass like Chewbacca.

So **Cajun Man** temporarily changed his membername to Chewie!

I received two emails today. One was from a party who seems to think I’m upset about my naming being changed. The original link in my previous post was to a blank site with the URL [www.fooledyoucajunman.com](http://www.fooledyoucajunman.com)

So, the idea was **Cajunman** would read that, get all worried and clink the link, and thus I would have gotten my revenge by his temporary trepidation.

Unfortunately **Cajunman** changed the link and replaced it inexplicably with a picture of Sir Ian McKellan (the guy who plays Gandalf.) I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean but it did cause confusion in at least one case with a person who thought I was genuinely upset.

I’m not. I enjoyed my time as a Wookie.

The second email was a similar misinterpretation from your garden variety anti-mod nutjob with a grudge against Gandalf. I told him that unless Ian McKellan is in the next Star Wars film this wookie isn’t interested in a crossover.

However, this does not mean that in the foolness of time I will not extract poetic retribution from **Cajunman** for wookifying me.

“fullness of time,”

There’s an ironic typo.

You have to admit, if you’re in a conspiracy frame of mind, that it looked a little suspicious:

1. Wookie makes a pit thread (not really, but it LOOKED like a Wookie made a bit thread)
2. Click on the link to witness the true power of moderation by Cajun the Grey.
3. Search the SDBM and see no evidence of a pit thread.
4. Wonder how big a trunk you need in a car to hide a Wookie.
5. Have new found fear of the Chicago Daily Tribune.
