Basically, it's a standing joke. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Way back when, someone asked what they get when they've got about 1000 posts to their name. The reply was...you get {squat}...aka nothing. Now it's something to joke about, and we thought up some stuff about squat club, squat gift certificates, (I posted that I got a new Lexus... :D ) The funny thing about it is that some newbies actually believe that you get a gift certificate. So, if some poor soul posts a serious question about {squat}, the rest of us have some fun at their expense. It may sound cruel, but it pays to lurk only in the sump to learn that everybody is joking pretty much all the time, and if new people can put up with the jokes, and laugh at themselves once in a while, we always welcome new, sarcastic humour.
This thread was my squat post, for example.
