2. Only Matcom's!
Edited on Fri Dec-22-06 01:24 PM by Maestro
If it is some outrageous news story headliner, it is most often his. If it is in GD, his post title usually has the word, *uck, or some derivation of the word in it. :)

How's life? Enjoying living in the the Big I? :)

4. Yes, Matcom's are quite obvious
I know my sister's too because of course I know her quirks, thoughts and interests.

Life in the big I is all right - how's life treating you? Missing snow and cold - this sunshine and 65 degrees at Christmastime just ain't right!!

8. Good grief - you're a mindreader.
I was just thinking about that this morning. Especially when I saw yours and knew it was you immediately without peeking at the name.


Neener, neener, neener.

11. Several people are instantly recognizable
Matcom and HypnoToad here in the Lounge. Underpants, too. And of course, Peggy and Radio Lady. Certain people in GD are immediately apparent from the incredibly stupid premises of their thread titles as well, but I won't go into that here.
