My guess it that you da man has been reading that excellent novel, The Left Hand of Dorkness by U. K. LeGuin. After all, you da man had a hard time telling which sex Alphagene was.
Mind coming back to tell them what you’re mad about?
And this time leave me out of it, okay?
I said my piece about Alfie’s bragging and saw it- that’s sufficient for a minor boast- I didn’t need it repeated.
Perhaps Cat and I was/were (aside to grammarians: how do you do the verb with a name like Cat & I? singular? plural?) attempting to emulate that great actress Audrey Hepburn in Wait until Dork?
Singular. It’s referring to one person, unless two people are sharing a name.
Why not shorten it to Cat when referring to the poster?
It’s entirely possible, but couldn’t he have been reading Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Dorkover series? Or conversely, he could have read L.Sprague deCamp’s masterpiece Lest Dorkness Fall. One more possibility comes from the master of modern (well, 1950’s at least) terrror: Fritz Leiber: coulda been Gather, Dorkness or Our Lady of Dorkness
What do you think?

**Yeah, yeah, I know. The rant came out wrong. **
I’m a bad ranter.
But I’m not very practiced, that’s all.
The initial post was supposed to quote Alphagene, but with the thread locked I had to cut and paste instead and it lost that part where it says "Originally posted by…
So I’m just going to start over, and hopefully simplify it so it makes sense.
And Cat: Fine by me, I’ll leave you out of the new one.
I dunno, I’m reading all this, and in the back of my head I’m hearing that famous Springsteen album, Dorkness on the Edge of Town.
(I’m assuming this game is still on?)
Which would make the OP the Dork of Earl.
It’s not terribly complex:
[/list][li]Cat insulted a poster in ATMB. In this case, me.[/li][li]Insults, no matter how lame, belong in the Pit, not in ATMB.[/li]
That’s why I closed the thread.
Which reminds me, I closed your other thread. It’s redundant. If you want to believe that it’s because I “can’t take” it, then go right ahead. The Alpha Male cares not.
Why Cat took my post about being an alpha male so personally is beyond me. You own current crusade, ydm, is equally bizarre. Keep the precious insults about my genotype and my endocrine system coming though. It’s funny as hell, in its own special way. To wit:
What does this even mean?
Please, everyone, be sure to adhere to this thread’s dress code.
The management thanks you.

the Dorks!
You da man is clearly the superhero of dorkiness. That’s right, he’s the (wait for it…)
Dork Knight!
Aha-ha-ha-ha… huh. Seemed funnier in my head.
This thread has so much mass that it’s draining the light from my cubicle… too much Dork Matter.

Did anyone notice the other Dork Hole?

If only we knew how old this guy was. We could write the definitive history of the Dork Ages!
Um… so why does everyone think “dork” is so bad? Wasn’t it a generic insult in grammar school? Are we that PC now? This pit sure isn’t like it once was.
No, but my sisters go to school with her.
I’ve been wondering why there’s no Dorth Vader inviting Luke over to the Dork Side.
