Is Nymtoc aware that there are these things called figures of speech, where the words are not to be taken literally, because the phrase has a meaning apart from the logically derived definition of the component words?

For those of us who are interested, is it at all possible to get clarification about the Christmas gifts posts?

Isn't the rule that the one with the fewest posts at AW has to buy the others expensive presents, and/or send them large sums of money?

When did they drop the requirement that newbies must wash and wax the cars of everyone with more than 8,192 posts?

Wasn't that around the time they made the rule that newbies must cook and clean house for users with more than 8,192 posts?

Aren't they required to be indentured servants for two years to AW members with more than 26,000 posts?

Did you miss the rule change, where those with over 26,000 posts are considered born-again newbies?

Haven't you misread the new rule, which actually says that members with more than 26,000 posts are AW Grand Masters and should be accorded all due deference?

How can you possibly be such a newbie that you don't even know what a newbie is?

If you're not a karate master, wouldn't it be best to leave the wax to the born-again newbies?

Haven't you read the passage in the newbie guide where it says, '...newbies are strongly encouraged to wax their way up the ladder'?

Is it alright to wax lyrical?

Nymtoc, do you really wanna send the newbies to the Limericks thread?
