I've taken the liberty of grading your admission test: 1. Are you nuts? INCORRECT 2. Are you nuts?INCORRECT 3. They the guys with the white tiger? I like the cat.INCORRECT The correct answer is Siegfried (or at least that's Frank's favorite) 4. Obviously, since I'm bothering to communicate on any board within SI or Yahoo!, for that matter, about tech stock investing, I'm highly qualified to fit in with the likes of you and your goons <g> (ONE MORE emoticon -- sorry).CORRECT but too wordy using emoticon. MINUS 1. Unfortunately this is a passing score on this thread. Congratulations.(Kind of like being accepted into the "special" school.) PS: I heard through the grapevine from a source I consider 'reputable' -- he's one of the regulars in the Porch corral -- that there is some 'secret-handshake/blood- brother'-style other meaning of the term, 'curmudgeon.' That you don't widely publicize. Any truth to this? THIS IS TRUE. If you can spend one week here without annoying anyone, you will be provided with the secret meaning. bia@aintitfuntorileselfappointedmessageboarddemigods.com ### only fun if you are funny or clever. I think your tagline just cost you the secret meaning...

It's time to grade your test, Bonnuss: 1. Have you ever split 10's? A: Are you nuts? Score: Full credit 2. Have you ever been to a Wayne Newton show? A: Are you nuts? Score: No credit. Wayne is the Patron Saint of the mudges; you should have expressed regret at missing his show. 3. Who do you like better, Siegfried or Roy? A: I like the cat. Score: Full credit. 4. Are you comfortable talking about nothing? A: Obviously, since I'm bothering to communicate on any board within SI or Yahoo! Score: No credit. We may be curmudgeons, but we are truthful. I have it on good authority that you were banned for life from Yahoo for intolerable behavior, which is amazing considering the crud they tolerate. That makes your score 1.5/4, which is a failing grade of 37.5%. But don't despair, while you can't be a full fledged member, we have an opening for a Thread Moron and the entrance requirements are far less rigorous. Dr. Id is taking applications. >> there is some 'secret-handshake/blood- brother'-style other meaning of the term, 'curmudgeon.' Dr. Id can also help you with your paranoia. cuf@willshetrytokillmyrabbitnext?.com
