(And that was NOT a subtle reference to the masturbation thread you pervs!)

But admonishments to STOP IT! may have the opposite effect...and may, in fact, inspire some to keep it going...

Donald Rumsfeld is giving president Bush his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

George: Yeah. Not only that, this is what she said to me, "Can we change the subject?"
Jerry: See, now that I don't care for.
George: Right. I mean, we're on a subject. Why does it have to be changed?
Jerry: It should resolve of its own volition.
George: That's exactly what I said, except I used the word "momentum".
Jerry: Momentum - same thing.
George: Same thing.

I saw on a foodie show to get Grade B in syrup rather than Grade A because it's not as distilled and more flavorful.

Thanks to Vermont for the syrup! Love it.

but that's the familiar one-liner type of repetition. you laugh or groan and quickly move on.
at least it's not every third thread for a week
