OK, I've seen the rest of the thread, so I'm just kidding.

Moejoe, you need to kick it up a notch or they're going to kick you out of Melodrama City.
Damn, and I didn't even twirl my mustache in the last post I did.

*twirls mustache twice to compensate for earlier lack of melodrama*

OH MY GOD!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD IF THIS THREAD ISN'T RENAMED! WON'T SOMEBODY SAVE US! *dum-dum-dum*

Surely it's hardly 'new' if it's from way back then, so quite apart from the tense of the headline, it doesn't belong in this particular forum.

Confusing thread title causes bedlam in Lounge!

An ambiguous title to a thread started a disturbance regarding the possible closing of the Barnes and Noble eBook store. The confusion turned to chaos when the thread was moved to the Lounge.
Posts quickly turned ugly. Angry retorts swiftly escalated into name-calling and then physical violence.

Riot police were sent in to quell the hostilities.

Asparagus spears started flying in all directions.

Film at 11!

You know, practical jokes seem to be funny to everyone except the one who the joke is played on. When you jerk the chair from under someone and they bust their butt, they usually don't find it funny.

I don't see this as a joke on anyone. B&N doesn't have an ebook store to close. If anything, the joke is on B&N, for closing the store they are about to reopen.

I confirm this statement. No jokes - just Blast from the Past.
