    and no, I'm not talking about a drink to go with your ham sandwich

    It's a reference to the circular "logic" argument made by Vizini in the film Princess Bride in his "duel" with Wesley. Idea being: If person A says X, then surely he cannot be mafia. However, a smart mafia would know this so they would say X to lead us into thinking they weren't mafia. But then again, they might know that we know that such a tactic exists so they'd avoid it. Or they might think that we'd know they'd know that we might know....

    Argument runs in circles forever -- and it is a useable mafia tactic for sowing confusion and creating doubt. I'm just teasing (can't know squat so far) that Beefy may be setting up such a WIFOM defense early on.

    A fuller explanation is in Sasaki's dictionary in the stickies.

    Well, in Beefy's defense, this post could have meant anything:

    How are we supposed to know what's happening with the host using confusing doublespeak like that?
