Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

The OP probably wanted to make a Hot Topic at an admin's expense.
While neither of us can be sure, I suspect that you're "close but not quite there".
I believe that the OP was doing something that is a long standing and highly regarded (though sometimes difficult to properly execute) online "elbow to the ribs" from a long-time community fan and member of the community to our friends/hosts who are renowned for their sense of humor and irreverence (especially when it concerns themselves).
Such text-based horseplay is a fine art. It cannot be too crass, too obvious, too rude, too poorly done. It should tread the fine line between tasteless and unacceptable, but it should ALWAYS cause a grin, chuckle or smile.
Our hosts are not only their own harshest critics, they are big boys and girls with remarkable senses of humor (mancannon, humpday, couch fishing, etc.) and wear their asbestos underoos whenever they venture online.
If they can handle the real vitriol, then they certainly know how to handle a joke.
