This is my favourite so far.

I also like “We can have a vicious argument about anything.” (by Crotalus). And boy, do we prove it!

Sorry, Elendil’s Heir; I don’t think your quote is accurate for these boards.

How about, “We don’t eat stupid food for breakfast!” ?

The SDMB: “Somehow it’ll all prove to be about LOTR and Star Trek, somehow. We promise.”

43

SDMB: A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing

  1. SDMB: Now Starring Oakie

  2. This Dope ain’t for smokin’

  3. Hi Opal, we need a motto.

  4. When come back, bring pie

  5. Free Bird!

Although we have occasional threads in GD where it can seem more like it’s “the fighting ignorants”.
[/QUOTE]

That’s not our motto, that just the name of our team. “The Straight Dope Fightin’ Ignorance.”

Now we just need a fight song…

:smiley:

Cheers,

Damn, that’s twice today that preview is my friend…

“The Straight Dope Fightin’ Ignorants”

Cause, yanno, it might be funny that way…

Cheers,

“Oh, and Python. And the Simpsons. And, um, Dancing with the Stars, weirdly enough. No, we don’t understand either.”

“Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?”

mrklutz, I have that one on my wall and so far only people over 50 have gotten it. Sigh.

53

“may contain nuts”

or my sigline …

SDMB: Our last, best hope for victory.

But of course, is that not true of everything?

Extremely “almost”, since the quote is commonly attributed to Voltaire.
[/QUOTE]
I disapprove of what you may imply about the originator of that quote and I will defend to the death that it is a common misattribution.

– Tammi Terrell

(In fact Ralph Keyes mentions that the closest Voltaire actually came to saying something like this was in his essay Treatise on Tolerance: “Think for yourself, and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too.”)

It ain’t broke!
Why ‘fix’ it?

So much ignorance, so little time!

Well said is better than well done.
