LarryForThree, the OP, here's a TP for one of the below mentioned reasons (and they all might apply)regarding the 9 posters and 10 posts made about your topic:
1. If your post was serious in nature, and there is nothing subsequent to it (no followup post) on your part to indicate that it wasn't, the responding posters either didn't take it that way and were playing along and having fun or did take it as you being serious and were goofing on your post as being a little too erudite (perhaps by their perception, consequently pretentious) for this forum.
2. If your post was to elicit some fun, clever answers, which you will often get on this board, congratulations, you succeeded.
Either way, TP, you deserve it. Belated welcome to CelticsBlog, and have fun here.
