Never have I seen someone so close to the mark and yet so far away from it due to their profound blindness and stupidity. The irony is most amusing. 67.135.49.198 12:50, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

Hmmmm :)
Did you just engage in a three-way edit war with yourself? (at WIGO CP)  ħ uman  02:36, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I had to add a comment after rolling back, then I changed my mind a couple of times. Not really an edit war, so there :P
 * Although I must admit, while I was doing it I did think "This is a pretty odd thing to do..." 02:39, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks for catching my tyop, and yeah, that's what I meant. That musta thunk a bit strange to be doin'. Deedle dee dee dee... (I think that's FFFC-F, but only a simple finger move to the IV)  ħ uman  03:33, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

My b-day
When do you think my b-day is? =.= Candlewick 12:21, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I'm going to say... 20th August. 12:26, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * No, you are close to one of my ex's b-days though. Hers is Aug 22. Guess again. It's before Labour Day though. =.= Candlewick 12:30, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I don't know what Labour Day is :(
 * September 1st. 12:34, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Beat me there Jelly - what's a Labour day? 12:36, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Good jorb! I don't know what Labour day is either, all I know is that you can't wear white after that day for some reason... haha. Maybe it's to honor Labour by being a lazy American. =.= Candlewick 12:55, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

 * Yes. Buy me a cake as your reward. =.= Candlewick 13:41, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

 * Carrot cake? I like carrot cake... 04:01, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

I am not surprised,
but there is a very noticeable double standard operating here. Were I to wander through all the articles here, or just this one, and remove everything that is not primarily just someone's feelings, there would be precious little left. Are you claiming that what I labeled as credential bullying and weasel words are not examples of that? Have you followed those links? You probably (projection on my part) wrote what is at the other end of them. You folks get to dish it out but can not take it? Is that what it is/ If the cap fits, don't wear it? So it is to be that I get told to provide sources and/or not put in my feelings into me editing, while others are to have a carte-blanche. Just trying to understand the ground rules here. Hmmm? &mdash; Unsigned, by: Carptrash / talk / contribs
 * It's very simple, actually. If the opinions of the writers must be overt in an article, we should try to keep it from jumping back and forth between two opposing viewpoints -- because it looks stupid.
 * If you object to that weasel stuff, you should remove it. Or bring it up on the talk page. 12:34, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * We are NOT NPOV - we reserve the right to be biased in the snarky direction - If it's too much - remove it or edit it - don't comment in the body of the article - that's what talk pages are for. 12:41, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Carptrash, posting a comment like that with no links to anywhere you complain about is a bit empty. Makes it hard to discuss it with you, and take your side or the opposite.  ħ uman  04:12, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * He/she is referring to these edits:, , , , ,.
 * Is my talkpage on your watchlist? ^_^ 04:24, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * It is now. Carptrash 14:12, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks, Jelly, I see now. Yeah, tendentious commenting like that in an article doesn't go over very well.  Those are issues to be raised on the talk page, where the comments can be discussed clearly.  And I doubt we would tend to "rewrite" that stuff to be "psychic-friendly".  "Crossed over" for "died"???  ħ uman  15:03, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

Font Theft
I stole your font for my talk page as well - it's so beautiful, especially on my Ubuntu machine, I couldn't resist. I hope you don't mind. Silver Sloth 14:59, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Not at all! I love that font, and it is my cherished ambition to see it used in every webpage on the interblag.
 *  Georgia! The font of champions!  04:01, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I was half watching the OGs tonight and they were doing beach volleyball... Georgia's team's names were, I goat you not, "Geor" and "Gia". Stick that in your Font & Wagnalls'!  ħ uman  04:15, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

I give you...!
A shiny new userbox, graced with the image of the Holy Cheesus himself!

Bwahahahaha! 15:25, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I think you should make a version with a different picture. Like that picture it shows in BattleChess when the computer is thinking. It's a nice thought, though. Should be useful. 04:29, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

I'm back. (Was I gone?)
I'm happy to report that I've now returned from a week-long holiday in Belgium. Did anything interesting happen while I was away? -- 15:26, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes, I have a job. Also, I discovered Human doesn't like it when you mess with the essay template, regardless of the fact that no one reads the damn essays anyways.   15:32, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Congratulations on the job (maybe?). Also, do clean up the formatting in the above section, would you? -- 15:41, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Like so?  15:59, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Jinx happened. Several times.
 * The demon headmaster came back and tried to brainwash the whole country with subliminal advertising!! :o
 * Human, TMT and BobM set up a beachhead on Wiki4CAM. I don't know why.
 * We invented a new messaging system. I totally wrote all the code, no matter what Trent might tell you.
 * I think that's all. Welcome home, comrade! 04:29, 21 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Thank you! A new messaging system, you say? Tell me more about this. -- 04:40, 21 August 2008 (EDT)
 * See here. And the talk page should also be informative. 04:43, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for catching that. I've been outta town for the last week, missed that one whilst trying to catch up on the bazillion new postings since I'd last checked in...--WJThomas 21:58, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Tragic news
Owing to an unexpected change of regime in a certain equatorial country, I am currently unable to access my vast hordes of bullion. Wire me $10,000 immediately so I can bribe the necessary officials. --Helena Bonham Carter 14:59, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

90/10
What do you think your ratio is? 13:53, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

 * Rounding down I assume. 14:06, 28 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Ur mean :P 14:13, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

But...
...if I didn't block your IP as well, you could just make a sock and circumvent my righteous blocks. :-( -- 15:50, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

CP Sysops you have been blocked by
(Showing my academic erudition here, and finally finding use for my Ph.D. in Conservapediantics) Block rights in CP are separate from being a Sysop. For example, wouldn't you boast with being blocked by Bugler? He is not a Sysop but has block rights. And the opposite is true too: actually the Block rights-list is much smaller than the Sysop list. Your "impossible" Admin and EdBot don't have blocking privileges at the moment. This is the list of users with block rights at the moment, here are the Sysops Administrators instead. Editor at CPLiar at RP! 10:20, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
 * And obviously I was wrong, as too many people not on the Block list can and do block, starting from Andy. Editor at CPLiar at RP! 10:25, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
 * So I guess both Sysops and non Sysops with block rights can block. I would STILL suggest including the non Sysops with blocking rights, Bugler et co., in your list. Editor at CPLiar at RP! 10:27, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Young man, it shall be a sorry circumstance indeed when I am blocked by Bugler. Honestly, now.
 * Anyway, I don't want to encourage the petty underlings like Jinx any more than necessary. ( Also, I'm lazy. ) 20:08, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh! Instead I enjoyed it very much to be blocked by Bugler tonight, as a Troublemaker, parodist, idiot, and my user page having been deleted as garbage. I'm starting to like him. You should try that too. Editor at CPLiar at RP! 20:20, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
 * And congrats for Jallen, Joaquin Martinez and TerryH! Way to go! Editor at CPLiar at RP! 20:24, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Why fangs. ^_^
 * Actually, I collected them ages ago. I'm just lazy (did I mention that?) so I never wrote it up. I haven't really played with disposable socks on CP since the whole "Bohdan! Unblock me!!" thing. 20:53, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Hmm...
Où sont les Neigedens d’antan? --
 * Lucky! The best I can think of at such short notice is: "Yossarian? What kind of name is that?" 19:51, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Nah, I've just read it about 20 times. ;) --Yossarian 20:18, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh, something relevant: I have managed to create a signature (...after much frustration that could have all been avoided if I'd just looked under help...), but there's one problem. Every time I sign with four tildes, the date ends up getting bumped as if there's a  between my sig and the time stamp. Am I doing something wrong? I ask because you have a nifty signature yourself, and also because you were very nice on my talk-type-page, and also you've read Catch-22. I offer you another quote for any services you might provide! --

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three.


 * Huzzah! No more shame at not being able to time stamp my posts. I feel like a real human being again! Thank you!! It takes a real trooper to cut through all that bizarre coding... - 16:24, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

?
What in the world are you doing? -- 20:05, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I was trying to stage a conversation between two of my signatures. Only to find that the transclusion template for the Gloom sig is not stored where it should be. (I hate having to dig out the transclusion ones. Grumble grumble.)  20:08, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I see. --The Mob o&#39; Doom 20:11, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

 * Grrr rrrr. --The Mob o&#39; Doom 20:13, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Sorry. Well, yes, I can see how that could be inconvenient. -- 20:14, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Showoff.  Don't make me dig out my secret socks.  20:16, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, I only have the one, so... it's not even secret. -- 20:20, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Suddenly this makes a lot more sense.
 * I'm not so fond of your hyperactive little brother, though. ^_^ 20:24, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * That's good. I'm always happy to bring more sense into other people's lives. -- 20:32, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Can I...
be a Sysop, Grand High Llama, and Honourary Tomatoe??? Please?
 * You'll need Tmtoulouse to put you into non-existant groups like that (and like my own "Tickleuser" stuff), I'm afraid. 00:25, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

 * I'm blocking him in 5 minutes for daring Jelly to - don't unblock him thereafter. 23:52, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Blocking him only vindicates him to himself. In fact, talking about him at all only enlarges his view of his e-penis.  DFTT.  ThunderkatzHo! 23:54, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Aahh but it's been agreed that he's so much fun to bait that he's generally worth it. His incoherent splutterings are worth a king's ransom. But daring a ban deserves a ban. (& I care not for Peni 'e' or otherwise) 23:58, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I won't unblock him, but I still must respectfully disagree with it. It's like the end of the movie Merlin.  We stop acknowledging it, and it loses its power and goes away.  ThunderkatzHo! 00:05, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You're assuming he had any power to start with. --Kels 00:06, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I love watching him squirm, though. 00:07, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
 * His obsession's wonderful - his edit count here's approaching (some days higher) than on CP - so we're doing him a good turn blocking him. 00:11, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
 * He did ask to be blocked. It is in the rules. $\approx$$\pi$ 00:12, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

 * Hai yourself. We've already met, though: I am Chaos!
 * Ahem.
 * Anyway, Linus made all the different coloured mowse pictures, and I don't really know how to make more. You'd have to take it up with him.
 * Wait, actually we do have two spare ones: [[image:Blue mowse.png|30px]] and [[image:Green mowse.png|30px]]. I think blue would suit your signature best. What do you think? 10:26, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, i knew you were chaos. can a girl not say "hai" to a chaos?  sheesh!  Blue is cute!--Waiting for Godot 10:51, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

 * And yes, you may say "hai" to chaoses chaosi chaosen if you wish to ^_^  11:11, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

 * Sorry, but as I've already made clear, I'm not going to put a mouse (or a mowse, for that matter) in my sig. What's a "gateway animal"? -- 15:05, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Well obviously, when there aren't many mowses around, you might find yourself transcluding earwigs or even giraffes into your signature. I think you can see that, given the dangerous psychological effects of giraffes, this is not a satisfactory state of affairs.
 * You go all stern when I mention mowses. You must be a stoat :P 15:12, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I haz a weasel instead of a mowse. Weasel beats mowses any time.   w easeLOId [[Image: Weaselly.jpg|50px]]~ 15:09, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

 * Or possibly a polecat.
 * Anyway, you can't like stoats. How many stoats do you know, personally? To the nearest dozen, say?

 * Ah! Now I get it! "Gateway animal", like a "gateway drug". That's pretty clever. And totally obscure. Congratulations! -- 16:00, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I thought the "discrete" thing was cleverer er 16:11, 11 September 2008 (EDT)


 * You may be right, but I'm withholding a certain amount of praise for that because editing other editors' comments is generally frowned upon. -- 16:15, 11 September 2008 (EDT)


 * But you made me your copyeditor! And discrete was clearly the word you were looking for :P

Cantate!
To avoid cluttering up the Very Important Negotiations, I'll put this here. Beware, for this song is surely, to use the vernacular, "kick-ass". -- 13:53, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Must wait for it to load first. YourTube is slow today.  14:08, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * And what does "cantate" mean? 14:09, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Cantate means to sing, as in a cantate or in Cantate Domino canticum novum, Sing unto the Lord a new song. YouTube is slow because this is such an awesome song that people are virtually queuing up to watch it. -- 14:15, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes, that was a awesome awful pun. Your award is in the post.
 * And is it me or was that... hip-hop?? 14:30, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * [[Image:Nods.gif]]. Somewhat, anyway. With a good helping of soul and R&B thrown in. -- 14:34, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You're a historian! You people are supposed to go through an ancient ritual wherein your tastes for such things are purged!
 * You are impure! Impure, I say! 14:39, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes, but it rarely sticks. We haven't really told anyone. But staying with the business at hand, I can sense an implied admission that this is a great song? -- 14:47, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Not really. I hate to disappoint you, AK. 14:55, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I hate to put it this way, but I must admit that the fact I just overcooked my dinner is probably a greater disappointment. -- 15:00, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * That's because you're mean. Very mean. 15:07, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Surely this can't come as a surprise by now. -- 15:26, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You usually hide it better. 15:39, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes, but I can't let you get too complacent, now can I? -- 18:26, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You can if you want. I wouldn't mind. 18:32, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
 * No, no. I have responsibilities here. -- 18:44, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

More-or-less
I'll bet you're on the Isle of Man. I'm right, aren't I? ^_^ -- 07:25, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I'm on Dinky Island. Being confused. 07:43, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Allow me to clear up your confusion! I noticed your comment "Ditto (more-or-less) ", which I took to mean that you were almost, but not quite, in England. Then I thought, "Aha! Isle of Man is an island which is almost, but not quite, England. The logical conclusion was almost unavoidable. -- 07:51, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Alright. Two things:
 * 1) My "more-or-less" remark was actually referring to the fact that I am not currently in England.
 * 2) I'm confused about Dinky Island, not your apparent yearning to be a private detective ^_^ 07:53, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, don't feel bad about that. Everone is confused about Dinky Island. This is only natural, since Dinky Island in fact exists solely to create confusion. -- 07:58, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You should solve the mystery with your detective skills. 20:21, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Wasn't that mystery more or less solved in Curse of Monkey Island, though? -- 20:37, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Was it? I was informed that Ron Gilbert refused to tell anyone what really happened, and therefore the Curse people made up their own version. 20:45, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I wouldn't rule that out. However, all I know is that I thought the ending to Monkey Island 2 was really effing weird and just a little bit crappy, but that Curse made it all make sense somehow. I don't remember the details, so I suspect I may have been subjected to some form of hypnotism. -- 20:53, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * No, you were merely transported to an adjacent room by a malfunctioning voodoo doll. Any hypnotism you may have experienced was purely coincidental. ^_^ 20:58, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Another very interesting and highly plausible explanation! Although the real reason might simply be, profane as it is, that Curse had better writers than MI2. -- 21:08, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You are dead to me. 21:10, 15 September 2008 (EDT)

Mus musculus
What is a mowse and can I have one? I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him, and read the rest of the talk page in the future... -- 07:54, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Of course you can! I think we still have some spare ones lying around... 20:20, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I took the purple one! :D He will henceforth be known as The Purple One. -- 20:32, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I thought you were going to call him George? 20:41, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * ...er...uh...well...ya see...George...is......his......maiden name. -- 21:13, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Call him Purple George, or suffer my wrath don't :) 21:15, 15 September 2008 (EDT)

The tombs broke open
Thanks for the block, I really needed to go to sleep. That said, I stand by my above opinion, its effect on my perceived vitality notwithstanding. -- 05:40, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Curse being written better than Revenge? Have you succumbed to some kind of debilitating delirious fever, Mr Jeldsen? 07:11, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You have to admit that, although everything up to that point is brilliant, the ending is just bloody strange. If there hadn't been a Curse to salvage it, what would its legacy have been? I'm just asking. -- 14:32, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I like strange endings :P
 * And even if that doesn't sway you, it still has the best jokes, the best portrayal of each character, and the best graphics (yes, even including Curse and... er... the fourth one). The plot of Curse is just silly. 14:44, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Of course it's silly. It's Monkey Island, it's supposed to be silly. But it's not supposed to be entirely non-sequitur and unrelated to the rest of the game, such as, to take one example completely at random, the ending of MI2. -- 16:44, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Actually, the only thing I don't like about the ending of MI2 is the air of parody. If they'd played out the turning-into-children bit with complete seriousness, and without any of the "Luke I am your brother" or "I'm a mighty pirate" stuff, I would, in fact, have classed it as an excellent ending. You just don't like Gainax Endings. 17:59, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Hey, they actually list MI2 on that page! Truly I am not worthy! 18:02, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * That is correct, I don't particularly like Gainax Endings. And this one is made worse by another trope I don't particularly fancy either. It feels completely artificial, tacked-on and out of connection with the rest of the storyline and generally just made me feel like this:




 * (Again. (Actually, that's a feeling I experience fairly regularly. (For some reason.))) -- 18:31, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Yay! Multiple brackets! I used to do that all the time! ^_^ 18:55, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I wish you wouldn't use that template. It doesn't suit you at all
 * Anyway... who said it was all a dream? I seem to recall that that interpretation was actually ruled out by Somethingorother Gilbert. Although, to be honest, everything to do with the MI2 ending might well be based purely on his desire to make things complicated for his successors.
 * But anyway, I still like it. Even that slight fly in the ointment does not excuse the monumental heresy of claiming Curse is better. I shall expect a full retraction, and some form of medal. 18:54, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You shall have neither. Curse clearly wins the prize here, not least through the fact that its writers managed to make some form of sense of that horrid mess Gilbert left them. Plus Murray. Murray is practically incomparable. -- 20:04, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I am docking Curse several dozen points for having such irritating graphics. And I'm sure I could name something better than Murray in MI2 if my memories of it weren't so fuzzy. Looks like Revenge is in the lead again! 20:12, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Curse doesn't have irritating graphics, it has quite excellent graphics. Any person of education and taste would realize this. In any case, I'm not saying that Curse is better than Revenge as such, only that the ending of Revenge is horrible and that the writing team of Curse should be commended for managing to salvage it to some extent. The rest of Revenge is, as stated above, brilliant, which leads me to believe either that its writers were highly "influenced" when they wrote the ending or that Gilbert had realized at the time that his days at LucasArts were numbered and decided, spitefully, to leave a little creative "present" for his successors. -- 20:34, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I am helpful copyeditor mowse ^_^
 * Curse just doesn't look like Monkey Island, to me. And indeed, I too commend the writing team for retconning the ending into essential non-existence, but I still think their efforts pale in comparison to Revenge.
 * Also, I advise you never to watch Akira. 20:42, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * But do we actually know that the ending was written by the same person or group of people who wrote rest of the game? Perhaps the writer/writing team was/were possessed by evil, mischievous spirits from an alternate dimension just before they got to the ending? I personally consider this explanation highly likely because it would make precisely as much sense as the ending itself. -- 20:49, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Whatever happened to your pet theory that a writer's interpretation of their work shouldn't be given precedence over anyone else's? Doesn't this contradict your new "irish fairy" theory? :P 20:55, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Quite the contrary, because it is, after all, my interpretation that their work might as well have been done by Irish faeries. -- 20:59, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * But you were implying that if the ending happened to have been written by someone else, it would delegitimise the storyline somehow. This clearly rests on principles that contradict your silly theory :P 21:03, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Uh, that doesn't really seem to follow...


 * Okay. Here's what we'll do. I'll go and block myself now, and then I'll go to sleep. And tomorrow I'll take another look at your statement and explain precisely why you are completely wrong. Or maybe I'll just ignore it. Time will tell. -- 21:07, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I have returned, and have decided to reply with a request for further information. How have I implied that this situation would "would delegitimise the storyline"? Even after seven hours of sleep, that still doesn't make sense. -- 05:59, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You said "do we actually know that the ending was written by the same person or group of people who wrote rest of the game?" -- which, under your old theory, would actually have no implications as long as the players saw the story as a whole. 10:29, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * In that case, you may not have fully understood my theory, which by the way in fact is not at all my theory, because of course it would have some implications if there were two different writers involved. "My" theory focuses on the interpretation of a given work, not the circumstances of its genesis. It is also interesting that you say "as long as the players saw the story as a whole", because that is precisely what I suspect a lot of players didn't do due to the ending so clearly having absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the story up to that point. -- 18:06, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I would've thought that the theory would have discounted the "circumstances of its genesis" entirely, if the people who generated it have no importance. However, I never really understood your theory, and I'm understanding it less and less the more I hear about it.
 * Any chance we could talk about something slightly less technical for a while? 18:22, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Aw. Highly technical discussions are fun. But yes, we can talk about something else. As long as that something else does not involve fictional characters with names made up of single characters. -- 17:27, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Damn your Danish mind-reading skills. Why won't you give L a chance?undefined
 * Ahem. Anyway, I find I can't really think of anything, off the top of my head. Maybe we should continue our songwar? Would I be right in just assuming that it's my turn? It usually is. ^_^ 18:19, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I think so, yes. Last one I posted was Aicha above. -- 18:39, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Wow, that was ages ago. 19:32, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Indeed! I almost thought you'd given up. -- 19:45, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
