My first post was a thread in Comments on Cecil’s Columns and was mentioning how “Blinded by the Light” is about masturbation. Auspicious start, I know, but I didn’t link to the column. :o So I guess I would do that. ---

My first post? Heck, I can’t remember the last post I made. 😃 Seriously, it was “Men at Work” lyrics, I think. That’s Missy - always relevant… ---

Here’s mine… > [@](#): > > First Post! > > * * * > > Had to do it sometime. I have been just reading for some time now, and have been impressed. The decision: to jump in or wade in. Might as well start on a topic slightly less controversial than religion or politics. Yes, Oil changes…this is where I will begin. _wades in_ > > How about synthetic oil? Anyone know if it is worth the extra money to go with synthetic vs. regular? If changing regular oil after 3000 miles is a waste then I would assume synthetic oil is simply throwing away even more money. The purpose of it, as I understand, is to allow you to go 5-6000 miles without needing a change. This is a moot point if you can go that long anyway. ---

Mine, I think, was under **Sam Hell** , and it suggested that diffirent kinds of sex were like diffirent kinds of soda: you may not like Dr. Pepper, but don’t go hatin’ those that do, and may everyone get a sixpack (sexpack :eek: ) of whatever they like. I was proud of it then…pity I can’t find it. ---

> [@AndyPolley](#): > > A freind of mine swore by GQ and all of the knowledge contained within. I was frankly getting a little sick of hearing all about it, so I posted a somewhat [inappropriate question](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=131450) as my way of mocking him & the board. I never intended on coming back…but I’d be darned to find out that GQ did contain a wealth of info, as did the rest of the board. Nice spoof, man. (Yeah, I gone and stalking you cos I ain’t got nothing better to do at the end of the day, and arguin with lissener has fucked me up good and proper.) But they never closed the thread, dude. That’s the measure. They close the thread. That’s way cool. ---
