To continue the hijack - did you ever read the post by LucyinDisguise, where he describes spending one spring cleaning out an old farm workshop? It's only by luck that he's still with us.Quote:

Here's the link I wanted to find earlier: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...1&postcount=11
This is true in my experience as well. It's even worse when it's said a day or two in advance of the actual talk...Quote:

Oh my gosh, that LucyInDisguise post was quite epic. 27' crater, 7' deep?!? Holy crap!
To continue the thread:
"RUN!!!"
"Details, details. Don't sweat the small stuff."
"OK, don't kill me, I'm just the messenger here"
"Well I've got some good news and some bad news."
"It was a dark and stormy night..."
"Sign this: I have a subpoena here for you."
"Does that pit bull look like it's been eating shaving cream to you?"
It only burns when I pee.
"So before we go inside, have you ever seen that show 'Hoarders'?"
Damn, I wish I'd come up with that one.Quote:
