By the way, I really enjoyed your splinterview. Being that you are an attorney, I was wondering if you could advise me if there is any legal recourse I can take against players who pick on my tunacy (I get songs stuck in my head). (mymottosalwaysbeenwhenitsrightitsright...) - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 14:10:00

nice try purple but I'm sure jedijawa will not take sides (especially after he sees my "May the 4th be with you" joke - Jabberwocky, 2007-05-04: 15:46:00

Good one Jabber! "Fluke, I am your flounder." Thank goodness I don't get lyricless tunes stuck in my head. - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 16:20:00

Haha! You know, I tell people you can always sue anyone for anything ... but good luck getting a judgment (I prefer negotiation over litigation). Thanks for reading my spliterview. :-) - jedijawa, 2007-05-07: 11:28:00

Good one! - HubbMU, 2007-05-08: 10:11:00

So many good words already. I'll have to think about this after I exit MPOW, and head for the carpark. (Only vehiciousexiting going on at this time of the day) I wonder if there will be even a minor thrill as I'm only leaving for a long weekend.

I heard this one years ago but I can't let the day go without passing it on to people who like funny word combos - Today is Star Wars Day - "May the 4th be with you"!!
