First on here felt pretty amazing. "Look!! Nobody here!" Like if I was smart enough, I could have commandeered it. The thread. "He's got the thread." People would have to figure out what to do somewhere else, like the Dictionary Thread, which would be inappropriate, therefore impossible; or through PM's.

I'm not smart enough, so that didn't happen, but it felt like it could have.

And, I had the motivation. I mean, I thought of it. Wresting. The thread. Wrestling? Taking it, and stealing it, like somebody's football. And then throwing it over the fence into the reservoir.

Jeez. I don't know what causes these urges, in an otherwise civilized boy.

Ugh. The Ugly Thread Stealer.

The amazing thing is I'm on the West coast. Heck, it's nine a.m., and there are usually all these nutheads on here. People who "get up."

What a funny term.

"Get up."

I guess "getting up" and posting here, is pretty much proof ya don't have a life. Isn't it.

"I got up, to post on Rambi."

"You're ready to move on to Toast Making, then."

Who first said, "Get a life." Hmm? it's pretty common and useful, now. eom
