This is an attempt to get the thread back on track after its rough beginning. In it, I attempt to relate my own experience to the original post.

In this post, I say something appreciative towards the previous poster, and make a reference to that move trailer where the people do just what is going on here.

I laugh fondly at the memory that movie trailer, and go seek it out on Youtube to watch it again. I briefly consider posting the actual trailer to the thread, but decide that would be overkill. Instead, I relate a personal anecdote with relevance to the original post, which is somewhat similar to Undertoad's experience, but comes at it from a different angle.

I misread your post taking it as a personal insult. My reply bears no relevance to the topic and leaves many scratching their heads, looking for a connection.

And there she was at the swimming hole trying to teach her kids how to swim against other kids.

Meanwhile, we were living in a hole in the very same lake.

In this post I go off on the merc for not conforming to the meme of the thread....but in an ironic twist, come out looking like a bigger jerk then him. Also, I make a grammatical error.

In this post I make a completely sarcastic and slightly obscure and overboard retort. Then I realize it and laugh at myself, out loud. Then I have to add a smiley to show I was breezy.

The title of this thread is offensive to me. Have you no compassion? Now I'm going to cry. See what you made me do?

In this post I point out that Merc merely posted in the wrong thread.

I then suggest that I misplaced a post on 9/11 and express my contempt, hoping to rescue myself from my previous error by implying that I was just kidding.

I was amused

In this post I do the sarcastic eye rolly thing and wonder how we can slide into the 911 meme so quickly. Then I notice it was the 13th post. I am not superstitious but it is a good reason for any for thread failure.
