dun dun dunnnn..

Honestly...there were a couple I did wonder about...I've not seen either of them here, since the elections....no, I will not name my points of curiosity....

On a site like ATS I'm positive there are quite a few hidden in plain sight if you know what I mean. I observe a lot, and I notice certain people would fight claw to claw to debunk the living soul out of some threads. It's so blatant.

There was an introduction thread from one of our members that admitted that he is a federal employee and he is paid to post. However that was in 2008 and the thread is gone now but the agenda remains.

The muffin baskets, I almost forgot that one Remember you grabbed the last double chocolate chip one that I wanted but you where kind enough to split it with me Good old days...Now we get plain bagels and we have to bring our own creem cheese. It's not easy being a paid shill

Fess up now paid shills! We have ways of making you talk....

Paid or not, there is no disputing that there are some who openly infiltrate, hijack and redirect not just threads but almost entire forums of threads, either single handed or in groups and if it ain't for money I don't know what else...
Can't be for just stars and giggles.
* leaves thread before stealing cake...

Ok fine...But I want the whole cake...and the stolen slice too. I bet Des took it.

The missing slice was just the Baker taking his shipping and handling fee. Looks mighty good tho... mmmm....

That would be hard to say no to....(fights temptation for cake)

I always kind of suspected that you could possibly be a "closet monitor licker". Don't be ashamed- it happens to the best of us sometimes. Usually only happens to me when I see pictures of "Daryl" from "The Walking Dead" though. I think Heff secretly knows and that he's toying with me! Damn that Heff!!

I hear chocolate is good for a cough.

Chocolate could provide the key to tackling a persistent cough, researchers claim. They are carrying out the final stages of clinical trials on a drug that contains theobromine, an ingredient naturally present in cocoa and chocolate. If the trials are successful, the drug could be on the market within two years. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk... Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

deadeyedick that is the best news I've had this week!

Excuse #392: But honey I HAVE to eat more chocolate; I may be coming down with a cold!

So all we needed to do was bring the cake out and the shills come out to play.
Better not tell you what the cream in the cake is really made of
