Someone decided that the FBI webcrawlers would pass over "spoons."

"tabs" here is a spoon collector and he also collects guns, so we just started calling guns "spoons" because we're all so incredibly witty here!

You'll need to search the board for other Pelicanisms, gererator, snow tires, spoons, fluffer, black audi wagon, cratch slappin, monkey roll, to get up to speed.

A year or so ago, when a thread would stray from the subject of the OP, Jim Richards would post "snow tires". Eventually, it seemed that every third or fourth post would be "snow tires" which got pretty annoying (to some). Jim explained that his comment was meant to indicate a thread gone off track or a series of irrelevant posts in a thread. Jim agreed to stop posting "snow tires" to keep us more-easily-annoyed types happy. I hope that it stays moribund.
Best, Tom

here is how it all fits together:
many Rgroppers use spoons to help Black Audi wagons out when their snow tires are ineffective unfortunately, several cooler heads killed my dream of owning a Black Audi Allroad wagon and I am left with Yet Another Boring... |
