Just trying out a thread with mostly consonants in the title and lots of vowels in the post. Also editing a lot.
Virgil opined that doing that would create a lot of unusual vowel punctuation on the title line. Hasn't happened yet.

 If you want the really weird vowel punctuation in the title, just change your "message icon" in the first post (right now it's that "notepad" that shows up when you have "standard" selected.)

Phhht...you misspelled it. It should be Mxyzptl k!  I had a strange feeling it was comic related, and sure enough! Man...that is really reaching back into some obscure memories! My dad has an incredible comic book collection worth several thousand dollars today, and we used to read them all the time! |

Cheesy:
I've got some comics in a box out in the garage. They're 60s underground comix, like Zap, Furry Freak Brothers, Harold Hedd, Yellow Dog Comics. I checked them for price about 10 years ago and they aren't worth all that much. Someday I'll read them again for old times' sake.

If you're thinking of the same 'person' I am, you mis-spelled his name. It's Joe Bftlspk. He was a character in the old Little Abner comic strips:  |

Mr. Mxyzptlk was from Superman Comics. He had rather magical powers and performed practical jokes a lot.
