As a Patti fan, let me politely suggest to the LuPwners that the party's over.
The joke was lame to begin with, funny maybe the first time, and increasingly UN-funny each time it was repeated until, at last, it began to reflect badly on Patti herself.
My suggestion: Now is a good time to take a lesson from Kenny Rogers and know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run.
This is a good time to walk away, before you all seem even more shrill and desperate.
Start an RIP LUPWNERS thread and make that the end of it.
