Statement that it's called "hyperbole." Further statement that the ten dollar figure is just that, a figure, not an actual cost estimate. Joke that perhaps given current inflation rates, the value of an "a" has jumped far above the one cent mark.

Clarification that previous post was a joke. Random change of current intra-topic topic due to overabundant insanity caused by fish heads. Explantion of fish heads comment. New topic set as: flibbitigibbet. Apologies for apparent lack of logic. Continued insane ramblings interspersed with mutterings of 'kill all'.

Revelation of occupation as postal worker.

Revelation of occupation as sane worker. Winces at the total lack of laughs at that joke.

Expression of thanks for use of raspberry jam, instead of toe.

Emphatic proclamation of much confusion at repeated instances of attempted post turning up in wrong place. Fearful expression of hope at it working this time. Decision to give up if not.

Also, retaliation with rocket-propelled Snow-Cone launcher.

Much frustrated screaming. Repeated reckless use of multiple exclamation marks. Request for all readers of this post to scroll up and realise that I apparently somehow retaliated against Nate BEFORE he launched jam at me.

Repetition of frustrated screaming. Repeated repeated multiple repeated multiple exclamation marks.





Righto, sorry to break the posting mode but WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Is anyone else seeing what is wrong here? Somebody help me please before my brain implodes AGAIN. FOR THE SECOND TIME.

Testing for forum bugs. If I don't edit to indicate otherwise, the test succeeded.

Addition of post for no reason other than to post. Further emphasis on occupation as POSTAL worker.

Continued homicidal-like muttering. Replacement of 'Kill all' with 'Kill Nate' because... well just BECAUSE.

Observation of out-of-order posting phenomenon. Speculation of temporal anomaly effecting forum. Comparison to Paneldemonium. Much fond reminiscing and feelings of nostalgia.

Clarification that anomaly might be affecting forum. Attempted justification that, somehow, 'effecting' was the right word despite all grammatical evidence to the contrary.

"Zeke, Zeke! I have to go back!"
"Back where?"
"To the future!"
"Oh, don't worry about that, the forum bug will bring it here soon enough. You want some quiche?"

I know, I know, it's a little late for that gag but between work and sleep I've been indisposed for most of the last day or so. Just stick it ten or so posts back and pretend that the bug did it.

Expression of joy at return to what passes for normalcy around here.

Thwapping of Nate with a Mackeral for innapropriate post format.

Retrieval discovered to be impossible, as Nate already sold the fish. Queries of motive yield the response, "Oh, just for the halibut."

Changing of subject to: not fish. Discussion-initiating comment.

Discussion-continuing comment. Further delving into discussion. Verbal pondering on asparagus.

Stated lack of enthusiasm for asparagus as topic. Proposal of cauliflower (fresh) as alternative subject.




Thwapping.

Agreement to cauliflower as subject. Addition of cheese to discussion. Mmm-ing.
