Epiphanus Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 [quote name='Aimee Mann' date='01 April 2010 - 09:34 AM' timestamp='1270132430' post='2243705'] It is to me. To reply to your edit, if it has something to do with LUE then I guess it was last used a long time ago. The point was that it's a new catchphrase for you guys to use, not that it's something original that you've just made up. [/quote] Or, it's just a common phrase used by humanity for at least the better part of the last 100 years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No need to repeat that sentence over and over again. What everyone is trying to tell you is that we never claimed to have "just made it up". It's been used here and there for ages, as well as the words "the" or "is" or [i]famous[/i] sentences like "Do something about it" or "please TOP, don't betray Grämlins".

Bob Janova Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Enjoy your thesaurus good sir. I'm not going to clog up your joke thread with finding all the places you directly lied about involvement or evaded questions about it from the start of the C&G front; I have some confidence in the ability of the other readers of these boards to remember them. So, enjoy your last word (as I'm sure you will ) and try not to be too much of a clown under the MK flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin McDonald Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Listen, we know it's an April Fools joke because if it wasn't, it would have been announced on any other day but this one, precisely because they would want to be taken seriously. Now can everyone calm down? I suggest those who aren't a fan or jokes, or LUE, or both, just leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, personnally, as well as MK as a whole, think April Fool's jokes on CN are pretty terrible. The main reason we announced it today was to confuse the !@#$ out of everyone. I'm sorry I have to spell it out for everyone. This is as real as it gets: MK and Vanguard are merging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
