The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Happy Birthday, NeptuneNavigator2001!

Marie Antoinette:  Let NeptuneNavigator2001 eat cake!
I can't help it...I can't help it....
First off, it wasn't cake, it was brioche, slightly better quality bread. This gives the phrase a lot less meaning.
Secondly, the line has been used in print as early as 1760 to show aristrocratic decadence. Supposedly (but not verifyably) it has been heard as early as 1740. Attoinette supposedly said the line in 1789.

Anyway, enough of the history of the phrase, let this party continue as if I'd never interrupted it. That would be best.

Ah, well, it was already over, mostly...  And, I wouldn't call that interrupting, Clawandfang.  I would call that input.  I've never heard that phrase, personally, so I wouldn't know about it.  Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: Doh, I didn't even know Dutch Apple pie when I was eating it!  *growls*  Yeah, I saw the lid for it today...  So yeah, that was it, all right!

1953-2011...  One day, mother, I shall see you again...
