Bored because the SDMB is down? Feel free to make a sock!

FYI to newbies and lurkers, sock accounts are totally allowed and welcome here so if you're bored, feel free to make one and dork around while you wait for the SDMB to come back.

For example, I'm actually Ed Zotti. I started this board and account as a joke that got way out of hand, so now I just go with it.

Actually, I am Ed Zotti. And so is my wife.

Honestly, it's a one off sock that says " Your're worse than me." It's like a shortcut to Goodwinise a thread. If need be, I'll make the password public.

Please? C'mon, Burpy exists.



you used to br cool.

If you want to Godwinize a thread, make a sock named Godwin.

I'm glad it wasn't me. I thought maybe I'd gotten banned again. I'm quite controversial.

I keep telling them, get capybaras to run around in the wheels. Sure they cost more to feed, but they're more robust than hamsters. They'll save money in the long run.

As long as you're here, Pixel, you mind explaining the plot of The Cat who Walked Through Walls, because it made very little sense to me when I read it.

Plot? What's a "plot"? I'm a cat. My only job in that book was to continually appear from nowhere and look cute. Anything else isn't my department. You'll have to ask Colin and Gwen about anything else.

About 5 minutes before he posted. I'm a kitten. I'm cute. He's not. He's trying desperately to get you all to <squee>. All I have to do is link to my picture.*

*That isn't really my picture. I'm sorta grey, and not really that cute. My eyes are not actually blue. If they were, I'd be fucking deaf. I still eat ficken hamsters in the Durp squirrel cages.</end reality check>

It can get much worse than anything I've done... Until now! Yes, that mouse is still alive. Sucks to be it.

Helpful hint. Don't get eaten by a cat. We aren't very nice about it.

Yum.
