Greetings and welcome to Free Republic. A "ping" is a way of alerting your friends to a particular thread.

A word of advice: be careful about vanities AND spend a lot of time reading before posting.

So that's what it is...

All this time, I've been thinking that a sub has been trying to identify me.

Darksheare, I entrust you to explain all of the Moose/Cheese references too!

You just do it SOOOO well! :-)

And I'm, frankly, not that hospitable *L*

LOL!
'Mr Spock, just what ARE they referring to?'
"Captain, it would seem that 'moose' and 'cheese' are referrences to skits performed by a late 20th century comedy group called 'Monty Python'. 'Moose' coming from the opening credit of the movie 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. Most illogical Captain."

*shaking head*
I must be really tired, I'm getting even weirder AND creepier than normal.
