Aye, but nails that are hammered down are the best in a pinch. Hammering gives a nail better clench, wwh. If you want to pull a nail, never improve it's clench.

But we could(?) send a drone to circle the Throne. You never know. Any "Stranger" could be a drone. A drone won't bite. He'll just be polite. But he knows how to send a message. The ruling elite has feet of clay ... just like the rest of us. The only difference is their feet are stuck in more mud. Which makes it harder for them to get away. How unfortugnat.

It's unseemly.-grapho At the risk of reanimating the multiheaded beast, I thought I might clarify for the newbies here that grapho, plutarch, moss, vbq, wordminstrel, et al are all the same person and seem to delight in playing with themselves in public and then complain loudly when the public rejects this and other antisocial behavior as unseemly. I, for one, have grown very tired of it.[/rant] Please to remember the one and only rule of this board: "Roolez? We doan need no steenkin roolez!"

Thank you for providing an occasion for me to "reanimate". It does get tiresome "playing with myself" [as you put it]. But Tang is only a drone. A drone is alone amongst all those other beasts in being polite despite all provocations. I do hope he will not be incited to call back his playmates for comic relief or gnatural justice.
