Realize that you havn't posted lately and decide to do so, ....at 2:30 am, .....after a pint or 12, ...repeatedly over time, ...... from many other different cyburbians places!
 
Post off topic but profoundly important statement in proportion to biblical standards. Reference several links to further prove my point.

Make ridiculing statement about several left leaning members mentioning that they appear to follow a political viewpoint similar to that which limits freedom as a feeble effort to provide economic equalization with government control.

Respond with grammatically incorrect run-on statement (smelling like a "manifesto") that includes off-the-wall references to the Pittsburgh Steelers, sprawl, De Noc growth patterns, baby seals commonality with what this thread so needs, obscure vacation references to pastie munching, coordinated dictionary purchase costs for Stan, and liberty and justice for all.

I cleaned the grime from the inside of my mouse today. It seems to collect incredibly fast. I wonder if this is generic grime or some sort of super grime playing tricks with the arrow on my monitor. I haven't washed my golf clubs in a couple of years. I probably should do that because you never know who's going to come over and the last thing you want them to see is dirty creases on your iron head. I wonder where I put that used tooth brush? I'm sure I've collected a dozen or so and put them in a bag under my bathroom sink. I wonder if I can spare one. They are probably lying next to the balled up mass of used bread ties. Anyway, it gives me something to look forward to this evening. Sure beats the brain rot that is piped into most homes.
 
Laugh hysterically and make all my coworkers look at me funny, then wonder if I'll ever be creative enough to add to this thread . . .

insert catchy phrase here like wtf?

change the subject by catching on a phrase someone made and apologize for it by adding an OT: before starting to move the thread somewhere else that the original thread owner did not want to go

this does remind me about an email joke about threads, though...was it a lightbulb joke?
 
[Reply to thread well after everyone else has posted and lost interest.]

[Make self-deprecating remark, ending with the "roll eyes" smilie.]

[Attempt to provide useful and relevant comment, to which no one responds.]

:r:
 
[Feel both peckish and yet at the same time Out of Original Ideas. Bump hoary old thread that should have died a natural death years earlier. Make ham-handed justification about bumping old threads while comparing this action to Bear Up North's. Insert some dry wit that no one but the poster finds particularly funny.]
 
How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
















27 board feet of oak; 36 board feet of pine.
 
poll

Add an insult and a dated song lyric: "catch a yellow flag an put it in your pocket...." [Forgot the inane smiley.] Insult smiley paster. :-{
 
[Roll eyes at Maister bumping old threads...again. Complain about the political threads even though they have nothing to do with this thread. Make another vague reference to baseball and/or beer.]
 
Huh Duh

(Bracket with curves instead of sticks to challenge status quo.)
(Insert absolutely necessary slam at thread originator.)
(Add rebound and equally necessary slam at thread pry-er-open-er mustached dude.)
