11. It's my mission in life...
to drive you to the absolute brink of insanity. To lead you to the absolute pinnacle of curiosity and then to make you sit and wonder if it was all worth it.

And yes. It is.

:evilgrin:

13. To drive me to the brink of insanity
you need a vehicle that can approach said brink from the other side, and from way down below.

Then again, I think YOU may have one of those vehicles...

3. My dear jobycom.........
Well, it depends...

If I know the OP..........then I'm way more likely to click on the thread!

If I don't know the OP, and the subject line is uninformative......

Then, probably not.......

7. Do you really look at the poster's name before reading a thread?
I almost never do. There are three or four people I click on almost all the time, without reading their names. They either write in a way that draws me in, or we are just both drawn into the same types of threads and posts.

Your posts don't count, of course, because of your distinctive style-- you can always tell a CalPeg post without reading the name.

4. Yes, because I'm full of hope that it'll be about snakes on planes.
Snakes. And they are on the plane, and there's not a got-damned thing you can do about it.

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president 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?"

It needs something more logical, like:
