Jeff, thanks for the huge, desk-slapping belly laugh- finally some humor in the midst of all this excrement! Although inadvertent, your timing was perfect..after the buildup of senseless name-calling, then pompous statements centered around desks (amusingly bizarre in the present context), even Rich Pyle losing it, then the idea that something could be more frivilous-right at the peak moment..Beautiful! it's true that in humor, timing is everything..Wheeew, ha ha..... PS Gotta agree with Nick, originality counts- butt pirate was a real chuckle when I heard it a couple years ago, it is the opposite of "carpet munchers". "Bone smoker" would be a 10 if original, but by overuse it gets derated down to near nothing. And grade-school stuff like "Pinky" gets the trap door in the floor. Gee, guys, with rec.scuba creating some new topics maybe they would make something for everyone- rec.ego.haskell, rec.attack.mindless, rec.attack.vicious, rec.cult.scuba, rec.cult.politics.scuba, rec.namecalling.structured, rec.namecalling.freestyle, rec.profanity, etc. Hey, there's even been enough people signing off to form a good group..
