I don’t think I would have a strategy immediately on hand, so I would probably start a new thread asking for advice for such a “hypothetical” situation. ---

Dopers, I’ve got a couple of questions that are really bugging me - please solve them and **help me!** What was that story by Robert Louis Stephenson with the kid Davie in it? What band was Sting in? I’d like to **call them** … ---

I love all kinds of eggs and _Outlander_ is horribly written and acted. ---

I think only three posts in this thread thus far actually addressed the OP question. Most of the time, the other posts like “I want Ottawa to win the Stanley Cup” would just not even catch attention. ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > I think only three posts in this thread thus far actually addressed the OP question. Most of the time, the other posts like “I want Ottawa to win the Stanley Cup” would just not even catch attention. That’s why I’ve not bothered posting any catchy blurbs. Unless they’re rather vivid calls for help, which Doper will notice? We post all sorts of shit here. If posting to SDMB is my only allowed action, I’m fucked. Better I just set a mattress afire and await rescue. ---
