I was one of the people who got Salmonella during that tomato recall last year so I can attest that this is NOT something you want to have to go through!
There are a lot of lurkers out there who are uncomfortable or fearful of posting. This is NYC, paranoia and neurosis run rampant.
Secondly, many of them don’t like the direction that the OT takes most days yet they continue to read it apparently. Instead of just not reading it, they want it banished to some never never land of tabs. Apparently, its like porn, they can’t keep their eyes off of it.
Thirdly, some people don’t feel comfortable with certain “cliquish” groups. Frankly, I didn’t know many of the lurkers were still in high school.
The net result was that yesterday it brought some lurker out as a spammer and made an abvsolute mess of the place yesterday morning. There was Snappv… instead of Snappy… and david… instead of dave…, etc, etc, etc.
Ok, thanks BRG. It shouldn’t be a problem setting aside four hours or so today to go through that after returning from five days away from the Death Star. I’ll report back on my thoughts by 6pm.
chicken…you’d better STFU. You know where salmonella typically originates don’t you??? 🙂
BRG, I know Assheads and you’re no asshead.
Pistachio recall? That’s nut!
I can sum it up for you Biff:
There are assheads that read this site.
There are asshats that post on this site.
BRG- ROTFLMFAO!!!
Biff, welcome back!
On a serious note:
Remember we were talking about nuts and some us sang the praises of Pistachios?
There’s been a huge Pistachio recall (salmonella) so toss anything you have that contains pistachios!

“But I find it impossible to believe there could ever be any drama around here.”
Clearly, you have been away toooo long Biff! ; )
I am going off the grid myself tomorrow for a bunch of days — I’m anxious in advance of what I might miss!
Biff, you missed class for a couple of days. As a make up assignment, I suggest you read:
