    Signs with a wink.

    Posts a "fail" macro with a (now slightly ironic) message not to feed the troll.

    better than a huge animated gif of, oh, never mind
    I wish I knew all those years ago that simply joining this board and proclaiming myself to be rational would magically transform my uninformed opinions into science; it would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

    Call to order and request to stick to the topic at hand; unbearable backseat modding.

    Wink.

    Posts an obscure Monty Python reference about the Prime Minister, as a pun about Robinson's PMs.

    A bank in Threadneedle Street had lot of dough. So now it's a large pizza parlour. The parlour, I mean.

    Expresses outrage that the respondent has not read a previous post. (Or did someone already do that one?)

    Points out that jokergirl actually used her signature winking smilie instead of just talking about it.

    Debate between mods results in a reopened thread, because all links pointed to BA articles.

    Tashirosgt is e-lashed, and a new rule is added to the rules list expressing that smilies may be used in meta-instances where they represent a larger passage of text expressing their meaning.

    Some rambling only semi-fun post, mostly because poster is bored at work, late on a Friday afternoon, just waiting for 5 p.m.
