well, had you managed to add an "i'm more gothic than you'll ever be" 
theme and an "i'm being abused" and perhaps a "Pork" reference and a 
"Lorax" for good measure, then you'd have the BLAH equivalent of a Royal 
Flush.  we'd have no choice then but to make you our King.

here are the tallies for the BLAH post_game:

everyone starts a post with 100 points,  you lose points for each theme 
that you cover.  if you manage to lose all 100 points, we crown you 
BLAH_KING and you win.. [wait for it] a _free_ mailbomb!!

1.  "i'm more [goth|punk|trendy|literate|sexy] than you" = -20 points
2.  "i'm being [repressed|twarted|abused]" = -15 points
3.  Lorax reference = -10 points
4.  cheap come-on, net.drooling, etc. = -5 points
5.  general net.dick waving / pissing contests = -10 points
6.  "i know [something|someone] you don't" = -10 points
7.  Pork reference = -10 points (Vince is exempt)
8.  general veiled slam = -5 points
9.  orneryness / bitchyness = -15 points (Chris & Marcy are exempt)
10. .sig = -15 points
11. multiple .sig = -50 points
12. baiting (ex: "mastErbation", "that's so cute") = -5 points
13. Python reference = -20 points
14. trolling = -99 points

i know on any given post, i'm usually guilty of #4, #7, and #9.
