You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes. No thread stuffing of "foamy" and the like.

Yes. No thread stuffing of "foamy" and the like.

Good thing "porn" is already a word then, given how some of the old threads got "porn"-ed to the max.

Just the old ones?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, no one's fighting for the porn count crown anymore.

Oh! I misunderstood. I totally forgot about the porn count and Holli's sneaky whitefont.

I thought he just meant the old threads were very porny, implying that the new ones aren't.

Pay no attention to the Teppy behind the curtain.

Maybe Pron will become a new word.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Holli's sneaky whitefont
that was me. Unless Holli did it too?

Holli *totally* did it, too.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Lexicogs already use "pron" (for pronunciation) all the time. (I have no independent data on their non-pronunciation 'pron' use.) You-all are gonna really discombobulate them.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

pron or pr0n is a pretty common internettism, so they need to have it on file, whether from us or somewhere else.
