Post with a problem or advice...

*note that this idea for a thread was shamelessly pilfered from the fertile mind of the Secret_Squirrel. (He might be short a kidney and some change too, but hey...he took a sip). As a result, and in keeping with the protocol set forth in agency case sharing half the credit is his. Half the blame too. :P

Dear Sleuthy,

I got me a problem, hoo boy. My back is itchy, right in the centre, where I can't reach it. And not just a little itchy either...it's like, epilepsy itchy. I'm convulsing like my job was volunteering for pharmaco-military lab research. I've been self-medicating with the help of this pasta fork I have downstairs, but I got people coming in for linguine tomorrow, and I need time to run it through the dishwasher at least four times.

Please advise,

Signed,

Since the message boards are pretty much dead unless there is some kind of "Gate" going on, I've been reading through some old threads. This one seems worthy of a bump ;)

gate?

Like Watergate. You take an event and put a "Gate" on the end of it. Barry-Gate, Revival-Gate. Sorry. Sometimes I write things thinking everyone can understand what is going on in my head. :-)

I got what you meant nic, sort of like a nic-gate! ;-)

I remember Barry-Gate, jeez I forgot about those times.

Dear Sleuthy-

I have noticed a problem lately with college kids riding around in buses, wearing green, drinking green beer, and making a lot of noise. This is really disruptive to my normal nightly rituals of cucumber masks and bubble baths. I do not understand this phenomenon, nor do I know how to make it stop.

Please help,

Dear Grumpy,
I suggest you start wearing red sunglasses, available at $299999.32 at Weine Inc. This may limit your vision, but we have to make sacrifices, for the greater good etc.
Yours,
Sleuthy

PS Earplugs also help. Only $39999.46 at Weine Inc.
