Okay, why don't they just come right out and say it...."Diamonds, that'll shut her up."

12. Debeer's/Uzless' marketing lines = 'I do'.

Simply state a formal passage, quotation, common phrase or song lyric, etc,... and then distill it to its irreducible essence.


Here are five off the top to get the ball rolling:



#1. Red Hot Pawn TOS 3.A. = Be yourself. 2. TOS 3.B. = Play fair. 3. TOS 3.C. = Behave. 4. "I'm not

half of what I meant to be" ...[text shortened]... idn't you realize that I was only joking" = Sorry.

Groupthink/inculcated motives underlying #15 = priceless.

18. Better to have the endgame (which begins with move #1) as your achille's heel, as explained in Scotty's Profile or a repetitive post # 17?

#19. Post #18. = Late night confusion with the "Easy Questions" thread. Clot momentarily shifted, I guess.



#20. Post #19.= an apology.



#21. "Please refrain from spamming, flaming or using excessively offensive language on this board." = Bend if you must but don't break it.
