Nevermind, y'all. I thought this might wring some funny anecdotes out of some funny people, and we could all fall down laughing together, but maybe there's nothing funny about madness. And heaven forbid, but I would hate to think I planted the idea in someone's head that it would be funny to go around from thread to thread rating people's posts. I liked the story about calling up the neighbor in the middle of the night and barking in protest, though - I'm sure if I tried it I'd be laughing my head off after a few minutes. I'm tempted to try it out randomly - just call a total stranger and start barking at him.

Amos, I'm surprised at you. Maybe that rumor about you being the one to hire someone to put a dead cat in jOhn's dustbin was true after all.
