(Ovid) RE(2): Catching the command sent by an Internet Button

Macphisto: well, if it makes you feel better, I just voted this last node down because of the profanity. I appreciate that you are here and are willing to participate in the community and to be honest, I don't have any problem with profanity. My concern is that Perlmonks doesn't turn into another /. Therefore, any post with profanity, insults, or comments in a similar vein I tend to vote down on the theory that this might discourage this tendency. Other than that, it's nothing personal.

Update: This node just got voted down. I wonder who would have done that. Hmm...

Update #2: Macphisto swears that it wasn't him and for what it's worth, I believe him. We must have some scoundrel lurking in the shadows. Come out, you vile beast, and show your loathesome face!

Reminder to self: cut back on the caffeine.</font.

Ovid marches in with vroom and a couple of Friars "There's your loathesome scoundrel, vroom!" "Let's get that mask off, and see who it REALLY is!" vroom yanks the ski mask from the bound monk... gasp "It's Mr. Ferguson, the server maid!" "That's right! And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for these meddling kids!" - email Ozymandias Note to self... take Ridalyn	[reply]

JARRING CHORD The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain --=Macphisto=-- enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles --=Ovid=-- has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang --=buzzcutbuddha=-- is just Cardinal Fang Machipsto: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope Larry the I.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again. The Inquisition exits Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition. JARRING CHORD The cardinals burst in Machipsto: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope Larry I, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn! To Cardinal Biggles I can't say it - you'll have to say it. Ovid: What? Machipsto: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...' Ovid: rather horrified: I couldn't do that... Machipsto bundles the cardinals outside again Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition. JARRING CHORD The cardinals enter Ovid: Er.... Nobody...um.... Machipsto: Expects... Ovid: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um... Machipsto: Inquisition. Ovid: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, those who do expect - Machipsto: Our chief weapons are... Ovid: Our chief weapons are...um...er... Machipsto: Surprise... Ovid: Surprise and -- Machipsto: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah! ... our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal, read the charges. buzzcutbuddha: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--' Ovid: That's enough. To Cleveland Now, how do you plead? Clevelnd: We're innocent. Machipsto: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!	[reply]
