But if the thread says “list your favorites” meaning (from my point of view) that I should list my favorites, and I open the thread and find that somebody has listed his favorites instead, shouldn’t I dispute that? I mean, what the hell is he doing listing his favorites in a thread that’s supposed to be about my favorites. He should start a thread called “list my favorites”

About 10 or so posters list their favorite thingamabob. Then some JERKOFF says I can’t believe nobody mentioned XXX!"
OK, aside from the FACT that the planet didn’t stop revolving because said JERKOFF
How about saying " I cant believe none of you jerkoffs mentioned xxx!" That way, you guys are the jerkoffs who can’t even come up with such an obvious reply. That is why you are merely jerkoffs, when I am spankasaraus supreme.
I will go to IMHO. I will use that line…JERKOFFS.
“not one of those bastards saw fit to agree with me.”
Raises hand I did! And he DID get on the list, btw. So, you weren’t the only one. 
I didn’t read the thread that is apparently being discussed, but I will add (whatever number we’re on … NINE? TEN?) that JERKOFF didn’t read the OP carefully, and whatever his favorite thingamabob is doesn’t even fit the requirements. The old “Hey everyone, list your favorite snack food” and JERKOFF says “I can’t believe no one mentioned Star Wars!”
This is, seriously, the stupidest OP ever. Utterly lame, whiny complaint. No link. Way too many caps for such a minor topic. I give it two thumbs twisted until they’re broken.
The rest of the thread, however, is rather nice. I have enjoyed it and will continue to do so. It gets two thumbs lightly massaged with scented oils.
Sincerely,
some JERKOFF
So, the basic gist I’m getting from the OP is “It’s only cool if it’s popular”.
Is that about right?
I can’t beleve I read this thread.
Meh.
Noooooo, you totally missed the point, and furthermore obviously didn’t bother reading the discussion on…oh wait, that was troll bait, wasn’t it? Oh. You. Sly. Devil. You. What a rascal. Color me had.:rolleyes:
I used to post prematurely, but then someone told me that if I think of somethign else while I post, like maybe visualize my Aunt Gertrude in a thong, then it wouldn’t be a… dang! Sorry about that. :o
[sup]Couldn’t have said it better myself![/sup]
:eek: [sup]Four and one half stars for Giraffe’s comment about the OP and an honorable mention to the remark made by particlewill.[/sup]
My reaction when reading the OP was WTF?
“It may not be the obvious ‘I can’t believe no one…’ if it is totally obscure”
This is some serious comedy you kids are throwing around in here. Settle down. Seriously. Someone is going to get hurt. We’ve already got a couple broken thumbs - speaking of that comment, since you brought it up, that one damn near got me fired. Out-loud laughter is frowned upon when you are supposed to be working with gigantic Excel files.

dalovindj, just tell anyone who asks that you were laughing in triumph at an unusually successful cut and paste operation. They won’t believe you, but they probably won’t ask again.
Upon rereading the OP, I’ve even more amazed by how excited Knowed Out got about this. I can’t wait for his next thread: “People who use their turn signals in the left turn lane PISS ME OFF”:
I can’t wait.
Damn it. The image I just got in my head of myself (being viewed from outside myself) actually belly laughing at a cut and paste move cracked me up. After hours and hours and hours and hours with a couple of hours added plus an order (on the side) of all the hours I’ve spent on this damn spreadsheet this week, it doesn’t seem like such a stretch that I just may find such a thing so damn funny. Hunger is the best sauce and such? Now I’m laughing at the thought of days of looking at pure tedium, all of the sudden the looptie-doo “Undo” then “Redo” combination is comic genius. Good thing I have the SDMB so my grasp of what is truly funny has managed to remain so firm.

I can’t believe no one mentioned…um…uh, I was gonna say something, but I forgot.
But I can’t believe no one mentioned it.
I’d believe nobody has yet mentioned the suspention of disbelief in attempting to validate the OPs ineptitude at making sense while miraculously sustaining his intent on making us believe he was a JERKOFF.
However, the belief of his being a JERKOFF may directly affect our ability to positively identify his actual intent of the thread to be of true importance ot his blowing off steam about an annoyance he has with his fellow Dopers.
Yet, as we are his fellow Dopers, we don’t care and laugh at him no matter what he means.
This, my friends, is karma.
Those “ICBNM” posts remind me of a girl I knew in college. I was 21 in 1991, and at the time, hardcore '70s movies were having a resurgence. I stopped telling her what videos I rented when I couldn’t take any more of these exchanges:
Her: What did you rent?
Me: Taxi Driver and–
Her: [gasp, dramatic head turn and hair sweep, turn back to me, aghast] You’ve never seen that?
Me: It came out when I was six.
Her: But you could have rented it.
Me: Not when I was on my parents’ account. And at my old school, there wasn’t a video store nearby. This is the first time I’ve gotten around to renting it, okay?
Her: Okay, okay. What else did you get?
Me: Annie Hall.
Her: [looks at me sorrowfully, as if I’ve been stood up at the altar] You’ve never seen that either?
Me: Yes, I have.
Her: Then why did you rent it?
Me: 'Cause I like it!
Her: I just don’t understand why someone would want to see a movie again.
So that’s what the jerkoffs are doing. They come in, toss their hair around, and gasp in horror to see so many people who must be utterly benighted, not appreciating the glory of [insert favorite], or (horror!) perhaps not even having heard of it! They must have spent their whole lives on the couch, eating cereal and watching MTV!
So it’s the ICBNMers who are really the ones trying to dictate what’s cool. Their incredulity is not in reponse to a perceived insult to themselves, but rather a jab at the other posters.
Right. After you finished sucking my dick and fucking off, you can again answer me… do you really believe that someone is doing something “wrong” by really liking something that a large number of other people haven’t heard of? Do you really believe that what people like and don’t like is completely homogenous throughout the planet? Or should people in, say, Australia, like the same exact things as people in, say, Europe?
Obscure to you, maybe. Obscure to other people? Obviously not, if someone can’t believe that other people haven’t heard of it.
