Your SAP avatar says it all. Maybe you could do a slowpoke avatar and bump old threads?
I knew it! I was almost entirely sure you had been to that bad, bad place from which all memes stem. Don't ask me why, might have something do with your humor (not that it is bad!)
But seriously, I'm afraid no one would get such a stupid act on this BB, so it's not worth it. Instead I choose to prove that I'm hideous at doing what a thread tells me to do.
And on-topic. let me just say that the amount of bad puns in this thread is nauseating and extremely funny

I suppose if Bertrand features at an unusually hot Silverstone race, you could have the headline of: 'Stone baked Baguette
In an alternative universe, Toyota replaced the injured Timo Glock with Baguette rather that Kobayashi. The WDC went down to the wire and Jenson lost, because he failed to pass Bertie for the final points paying position and hence generates the news headline "Button chokes on Baguette".
Hopefully Bertie will make the F1 grid soon. He could then star and win a thrilling race at the Hungaroring, overcoming an epic three-way struggle between himself, Lewis & Timo. Then the headline could be "BLT satisfies Hungary crowd".
