I hate when people start a post with something like, "As you all know, I'm a black Republican dwarf lesbian dogwasher...."

No, I don't know. There's a lot of people posting here. I don't follow your posts and carefully try to keep track of every aspect of your life. And I never will. And even if some people are following your words of wisdom with such devotion, it is most certainly not "all" the people reading your post.

As you all know, Revtim would be quite sad if the first reply did not start with "as you all know"

Is that a Republican dwarf lesbian who washes dogs, or a Republican who washes dwarf lesbian dogs, or a dwarf washer (i.e. small-sized steel or rubber sealant ring) with a picture of a patriotic elephant on it that goes around a lesbian dog?

I think Home Depot is having a sale on all their dog washers in stock, if the latter.

Now there's some true obfuscation. Nicely done.

Man, if this has angered you so then you don't have much to worry about, do you? However, I agree it is a bit egotistical to assume we all know. Perhaps those who wish to bring up personal traits they have discussed before should say "As you may recall" or "As some of you already know". Just a suggestion, so we can all do our part to keep Revtim's blood pressure down.

Hey Chief, get your ass back in here. That last post was some of my best work.

Well at least they told you what they were, if you did know it before fine, if not now you know. Though I think I would remember if someone was a black republican dwarf lesbian dogwasher.

Needing no introduction as a person who states the obvious, I can say that I only post my traits pertaining to my stance on that post.
Obfucate the obvious.

Or if you really want to hide your meaning you could obfuscate the obvious. Or maybe misspelling is better.

I think I can speak for all my fellow black Republican dwarf lesbian dogwashers (BRDLGs) when I say FUCK YOU ALL.

Thank you.

(In some parts of Europe, 'dogwasher' does start with a silent G.)

Well, as you all know, I'm a gay, straight, bi-sexual lesbian with republican leanings. I've tried to keep myself on the path set before me but I must wrench myself away. In all honesty I'm nothing but a gay, straight, bi-sexual pan-dimensional being from the planet Vogon.

If you are ever in the neighborhood, as you all know, you can find, "Sun, sand and suffering" on my home planet.

As you all know, I have purposely kept all personal information about me to myself so that what I type will have to be judged on its own merits -- and not because I'm an authority on specific issues or that I can talk on a specific subject with specially privileged candor because I'm a member of said group in question.

Besides, I don't fall for arguments from authority, especially on the web where people easily lie about their credentials.

Besides, I think you'd all would be prejudiced in reading my posts if you all knew I was an undead brain-sucking alien.

Peace.

If we all know it (whatever "it" is) already, then why bother saying it? Why belabor the obvious?

I would like to broaden the original thrust of this string to say that anyone who ever uses that phrase anywhere in society should be shot. For examples, "As you all know, marxism is the only path to true freedom," or, ". . . the new government complex is a worthy project." As you all know, 99% of the time that phrase is used by idiots to lead into something we do not know -- because it's untrue. The above posters excepted. Or not.
I am sure you will all agree that, "I am sure you will all agree . . ." is another one. Let's ruthlessly crush anyone who uses these obnoxiousities.
