Now that I’m in pun prison will someone please have mercy on me and tell me what a posse sammich is? It’s a solitary cell in pun prision by the way. In case posse sammich means what I think it means and folks want to use my prison reference in a… shall we say bad light. ---

Mods - please rename this thread “Medusa”. 😛 Ummm, chocolate. Sex. Sex with chocolate. Chocolate-covered sex. Next. **lurker** , you’ll be glad to know that I spent an hour in the attic on Sunday re-taping my duct connections, using actual duct tape. To tape ducts.

Lo, these many moons ago, someone started a clique roster for amiable nonentities. (I can’t find the thread, but I’m so tranked on cold meds it’s hard finding the _keyboard_.) It was a hoot. IRC, we introduced ourselves in AA meeting style then listed our most “outstanding” attributes in deadpan style, e.g. “Hello, my name is Veb. I’m named for a dead economist, think beige is gaudy, collect thimbles and smile at motorists who cut me off in traffic.” Well, it _was_ fun! ::sniffs:: I’m gonna go dust my thimbles. Veb ---

No one ever answered my question. My strange mood has mostly passed now so I won’t make any further arguements on the fate of my existence. But I will say that the Straight Dope forum has the feeling of a nice cozy club to which I haven’t been invited yet. ---
