He gets YOUR jokes, and he also contributes angry replies to all of my posts.

I've also seen the SNL sketch, the only "funny" thing about it was "Buck-Futter".

Now, back to personal things... problems.

Yes, we've established you have personal problems, but we're trying to get this topic back onto the original subject.

Two things here. One is that there were at least twelve SNL sketches that were done, not just one. The other is that out of all of the twelve sketches that were ever done, you picked what is by far the least funny bit that was ever done in a Celebrity Jeopardy! sketch. Easily.

As to the current topic, your identification number, your data assistant, your leave of absence.

If I had to choose amongst all of the above suggestions for the *one* clue I could give, I think I would go with "a very small pizza". Most of the others would work well in a list, but I was trying to think of "the (a) definitive" clue, and I think the specificity of that clue would lead many people straight to "personal".

Here's a hint: insulting the moderator's command of the English language is not a good way to retain your posting privileges. This is especially true when said insult comes from someone who himself has clear difficulty with said language.

I suggest strongly that you drop the matter now, as it's clear that no amount of explanation is going to make you understand. Let it go.

Just tell me what the sketch means and I'll drop it. You dzinkin, can end this whole thing with one post...one explaination.

He, dzinkin, can end this whole thing by telling you it's over, which he has already done. You'd do really well to heed his warning and not push the issue.

Do with that advice what you will.
