> That is why it is a legendary thread.

I suspect you said the Free Republic magic secret word. Even if you only said it in your head, or whispered it...

Do you remember Colossal Cave Adventure, the ancient original "adventure" game of dungeons and dragons, that spawned D&D?

Then you know that if you said the magic word, "XYZZY", you would be transported to a new place in the cave.

"Unnngh!" is sorta like that.

That is why your thread is here now.

I expect Darksheare to show up any second, demanding a coin to cross the river...

I definitely remember Dungeons & Dragons. My Grandmother had seen some TV preacher say it was Satan worship. I told her not to worry until I asked her for a dead chicken. Freaked her right out!
