> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > I simmered in a diarrhea-filled jacuzzi. That makes me Special on multiple levels. That was _you_? Oh, yes, that does make you Special. 😃 **Super Kapowzler** is like a **handy** or a **VC03** or a **Wildest Bill** - they stick out because they’re not quite like the rest of us, for good or bad; some of them get banned (sooner or later), and some manage to colour (mostly) within the lines. I usually like these oddballs because they keep things interesting around here. Other people don’t like them, for their own reasons. I don’t think they are beyond the rules or anything like that; they may get some accommodation because they’re not quite like everyone else. ---

I read that with a mixture of horror and humor that has not been matched. Anytime I see a hot tub or jacuzzi tub, anytime I think of getting one of those, and anytime I travel I look at the facilities with suspicion and stick to the shower. Sometimes I even flashback to that thread for no reason at all. So you are indeed special to me. I can’t get you out of my mind. Long live the horror! ---

I’d say Inigo Montoya. Look at his threads, and you’ll see that nearly all of them are just this side of being too strange to live. Sometimes they’re on the other side. Now, if you start a thread called “Who are the Stupid Dopers?” gimme a call. I have My List.
