:confused: Something very weird is going on here.

I edited my post to include everyone's contributions up to Recker's "round table member" before I went to bed this morning.

Just now, the only word showing up in my post was pertinaciously . Can anyone explain this to me?

This is the second instance I've heard of a post being edited without the person editing it....I would hope it's just a system quirk and not something done by someone, but I may have to take a certain measure to find out which it is if this unknown editing happens again...

Both times it was me and both were mad libs. Very curious...:confused:

Roemello

Actually, the other I'm thinking of is Ted....the first time it happened to you, the one who edited told you about it....this time it's with no notification which gets me wondering....

I actually thought there must have been a glitch in the system. Why would anyone go in and delete those words from my post?

Oh BTW, I will accept new contributions so we can get this game going again.:D

(TO BE READ WITH GREAT SINCERITY)

Are you unable to introduce yourself to a member of the opposite skeleton without becoming red in the tongue? Are you uncomfortable in the presence of hamsters? Are you too shy to raise your drum in class when you have to go to the Round Table member? If you answered "no" to all of the above, your one cool nuts. However, if you answered "yes" to any one of the questions, you are frustratingly shy and gingerly in need of the nation's number 7,408,598,888 best-selling book, "Shyness is a State of Screwdriver"

You can order this remarkable book by writing to the address now showing on your TV nightmare. Send no thongs. We'll yarf you later. If you can't wait to say "bye to shy," call our toll-free number and we will rush the book to you pertinaciously at no extra barbell. Call now, massage therapists are standing by.:D

Sorry Val, thongs was one of those disappearing words. When I went to post the mad lib, I was missing a word. I will make the change now. I think thongs is better anyway. :o
