i can remember when .. .... ... .. ... .. .
the word that sounds like "maul" and is what it says got another addition to the 'sound' except it's a place you hang out with friends, buy stuff and meet other people (mall).
then of course there's my favorite ... my brand is ritz, but no longer is the word associated with something to eat .. .. .... .. now "cracker" is a "malicious" person (according to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) or "skript kiddie" who "cracks", "intrudes", "destroys", etc.
i get chills thinking about eating the wrong thing now that my "ritz" is not just a palace in my mind but a "cookie bent on evil"!

There are plenty of words that sound alike but mean totally different things in the English language? I really fail to see your point or why you'd get chills thinking about words that you eat that might mean a malicious computer user.. etc.
Cracker can also be used to refer to us White Folks.. so are you scared when your eating your "ritz's" your actually eating a white person.. ?
Disclaimer: Yes I spoke of the word "cracker" in a racist and deragatory way to make a point and only a point. And I feel I am fully entitled to call a white person a cracker.. I'll even start by calling myself a cracker...
/me is a cracker..
/me is about as white as they come..

I remember when forum posts had some purpose or made some sort of sense.
I think.
Maybe not.
Disclaimer: never mind.

I forget what's second.

So, what you are saying then is that you start stupid-ass threads and not only do you not care what people say in response, but you have no interest in whether on not people respond at all...
I'm thinking of a word now. It doesn't sound like "maul" though. I think it sounds more like "trucking squidiot"
