I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Holli's sneaky whitefont

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Are we giving them the FAQ? Or is that cheating?

Reading the FAQ for cites is NOT cheating, by lexicographer rules.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sounds like legitimate lexicographing to me.
