Just a quick clarification, try **[this link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=73951)** instead of Spoofe’s, above.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread-hijacking, already in progress…

LOL, **Already in Use** 🙂

As to the rest of you Pit pirates, you may steal my thread, but you’ll never find my buried treasure. Or is that Lucky Charms?

(Gasp! Gasp!)

::huffing and puffing::

I’m a few months late, but I’m OK. I was just taking a nap on the beach and then I woke up and it was all dark so I went back to sleep and so on until I decided to get up and decided to dig myself out.

I recommend being buried in sand for a few weeks as an excellent way to lose weight and relax. Not good for claustrophobics.
