Well naturally I knew one of them was, but I didn't notice about the other one....doesn't surprise me though....the SEC rocks! ^ 
I went wading through the goose poop posts to find the link again (and didn't..I'm at work so I'll search more later)---when you first posted it I was actually skimming FT briefly....had to get some real work done, so I thought I'd get back to it and never did. I'll have to find the link so I can check it out. Although.....knowing you....and the words 'pink couch', I'm not so sure I could talk them in to it. Unless, of course, it had some pretty women sitting on it. They'd take it then. My oldest son has a great pink shirt that he's worn a total of one time. And his brother ragged on him so much that it hangs all by itself, shunned in the closet. It was a great shirt, though! But I don't think he'd go for a pink couch!
I will check it out anyway, just in case.

I will check it out anyway, just in case. A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river." With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
Sermon complete, he sat down.
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365, "Shall We Gather at the River."

And I'm not saying he should or should not know how to set page views. Or even care about them. Just that everybody has it set differently so to say a thread is X pages long is subjective.
Objectively, no matter who's looking at this thread or how they have FT set, it has 29,377 posts and 606,191 views as of this moment. Those are the common denominators we all share.
That just proves my point that you're a super lame-o COF.

Well, despite your rather unconventional reference to the US Code, this was as close as I could find: Title 45, Section C

The judge always sets the courts calendar. So, if you have an issue with scheduling tell the others to go screw themselves.

Somewhere in backwoods Alabama....Probably not near our Dear Carol, but you never know A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."

That preacher, and for that matter, that particular river, are indeed both close to me.....That's why every weekend during the summer we're on the bimbo barge at the river....it's almost a religious experience.

An Auburm grad and aucarol were earning some summer money by mowing lawns with a self propelled mower. It got very hot around three PM so the two sat under a tree and drank some lemonade.
Somehow the mower --- which they had left idling --- dropped into gear and began rolling rapidly toward the river.
The two jumped to their feet and dashed after the errant machine only to just miss it as it plunged into the swimming pool and sank, the engine bubbling down to silence. Without a moment's hesitation the Auburn grad leaped into the pool, swam rapidly to the bottom and began pulling the starter rope in an attempt to restart the engine. Aucarol leaned over the water and shouted, "Choke it, you dang fool! Choke it!"
Bimbo barge, eh? (Hey Abby, I still can speak Canadian, eh!)
BTW, I can even speak Canadian Catholic.....Bingo, eh!

I said I'll ask.
If she doesn't mind and he doesn't mind, why should you???
Edit: You were using "..." just to shorten the quote, right? Because no one in The Lounge would edit a quote to change the meaning or take something out of context.
Thinking about it, I'm sure DLfan was just trying to insure that he gets one of Abby's special drinks - especially if someone else is buying!

Carol is actually quadlingual. She also speaks Southern. 
Oops... quint-lingual. She's ed-u-ma-cated... that means she also speaks English. Or at least the American version.
