Message of the hour from userlame.com:
It took a while to surface, but it appears that a long-distance credit card
may have saved a U.S. Army unit from heavy casualties during the Grenada
military rescue/invasion. Major General David Nichols, Air Force ... said
the Army unit was in a house surrounded by Cuban forces. One soldier found
a telephone and, using his credit card, called Ft. Bragg, N.C., telling Army
officiers there of the perilous situation. The officers in turn called the
Air Force, which sent in gunships to scatter the Cubans and relieve the unit.

WAUWATOSA, Wisconsin (AP) -- A teenager who became the first person known to survive rabies without a vaccination went home Saturday after nearly 11 weeks in the hospital, officials said.
Jeanna Giese, 15, was infected when a bat bit her at church in September but she did not immediately seek treatment. She began showing symptoms of rabies in mid-October.
see what happens when you go to church? you get
RABIES!

The only possible explanation is that shortly after reading it, said persons are laughing too hard to reply, since it is undeniable witty and amusing, very amusing in fact. Surely once they stop laughing over the next few days or weeks, they will post a reply.

I think you forgot to say waka waka. It's the waka waka that always gets me.

Hello and thank you, let me tell you a bit about how I ended up "here". My path has been a short and worry free one, I was reading your (snoevaynne) profile on sg, and saw mention of userlame (which is nothing less then a perfect username and url), at which point I added a .com and pressed enter, after reading everything I had access to, I felt like I'd get some entertainment from you, the members, senses of humor, and I signed up. So I'd like to thank the academy, and somebody’s mother I think? Hopefully the lack of smiley faces in my post is not reason enough to put out a hit on my existence; also I still laugh when I think of church goers getting rabies, hah.
