Glad to see a new entry in Runtu's dictionary series.

Awesome! My favorite:
Nauvoo: “The City Beautiful,” the gathering place of Mormons beginning in 1839 in a swamp along the Mississippi River in Illinois. At its peak one of the largest cities in Illinois, Nauvoo was the scene of much new revelation, such as the commandment for Joseph Smith to marry a lot of teenagers and married women, the adaptation of 18th-century Masonic ritual in a restoration of ancient Hebrew temple rites, and the anointing of Joseph Smith as king. Opposition to some of these revelations forced Joseph Smith to destroy a printing press, resulting in his willing martyrdom after he ran out of bullets.

So what do we have to do to get Runtu to show his face around here again?

Runtu and Buffalo left around the same time. Maybe they were sock puppets of each other.

That can't be. I'm Buffalo's sockpuppet. Everyone knows that.

I wasn't around when they were posting, but didn't they each have like thousands of posts? That would be some fairly prodigious sockpuppetry . . .

Actually, I think you are Yahoo Bot's sock puppet. Bob, I think you finally saw the light and joined us apostates but you are afraid to let everyone know. Bob Loblaw is just so obvious, as you are a lawyer and all.

Not a lawyer. I just have a man-crush on Scott Baio.
