I’m sorry to hijack, but could someone tell me what MMP means? This is the second time I’ve seen the term today, and I don’t recall having seen it before.
Thanks.
Monday Morning Post. Almost every Monday rue deday begins the MMP with a clever and interesting OP. Then the “kool kids” hijack it. 
This week’s is titled “Ubiquitous. It’s in there sommers - MMP” rue, is much much better at it than I am…just look for his name on Monday morning and join in. We have lots of fun and free chandeliers.
Thanks, Tupug. Does that mean I’m one of the “kook kids” now?
Guess I don’t belong in this thread anymore, then. Laters, all you obscure people. 
I eat lunch with you all almost every workday but as you can see I’m not much of a poster. I should be - I’m certainly not shy - don’t know why I haven’t taken the plunge.
I arrived here at the recommendation of my sister, another mostly-lurker.
I usually check out MPSIMS, the pit, and GD before returning to my tasks as a research slave. If I had to guess what would lure me into posting, I’d hazard that it will be on food, etiquette, or soccer. No claims of intellectual depth here .
Thanks for giving the quiet types an op to post!

What do we need to do to get more of you lurkers to post more? We need fresh blood!
So you’re *not * Indian? I always thought you were, with that name!
And FatBaldGuy, I’ve told you this before, but I always appreciate your quick & correct information in GQ. I almost have a crush on YOU…on your mind. 
[hijak] Nice collection. Looks a little like my brother-in-law’s actually, but there’s definitely a few in there he’d lust over. He recently bought me a Fender Strat for lefties. I’ve been trying to teach myself. I have much more enthusiasm than talent, but I’m getting there. [/end hijack]
That should be “kool kids.” :smack: :rolleyes:
Sadly, no. I’ve been living an SMDB lie! [Kyle]I’m just a jew… a lonely jew… on Dewali.[/Kyle]
Oddly enough, the aforementioned girlfriend is Indian, so maybe I was subconsciously looking for a nice desi. I’ll probably be hitting you up eventually for ideas for a cross-cultural wedding. Then, on to Mumbai for the second wedding with her extended family. (eep)
It was more accurate the first time!
Hi, I’m Dogzilla. I’m a girl, although usually people think otherwise. I don’t post or even lurk as much as I used to, mostly because they put up a new server filter and now I can’t get to the boards from the office anymore. I’ve never been pitted, although I recently seriously pissed some people off in IMHO. I’m an editor by trade, and a gardener and orphaned animal rescuer by hobby. I’m a cancer and like long walks at the beach and…
Oh, wait a minute. That’s for another board.
You can find my posts in threads about ugly little dogs, gardening, grammar and language, management and publishing. And certain tv show threads. I always lurk in music threads, a lot of movie threads and anything about the Mormons. I really enjoy anything written by Rue De Day. I once had a huge crush on iampunha, and e-mailed with him for a while until I was cured.
Oh, and I prefer chocolate chip.
ahem

My mind is very flattered.
I am in fact Biffy the Pigmy Shrew in drag.
I’m
Inkleberry, and I look nothing at all like Bea Arthur. I’m married to DrLoveGun, who is a body double for Don Knotts. We have a 6 month old son, Tinkleberry, who loves his friend the spoon. Sometimes he dresses like Yassir Arafat.
I have yet to be pitted, although I have started some unfortunate train wrecks. I rant a lot, but in real life I tend to be pretty happy and chipper. Secretly, I wish I owned a goat. I have a somewhat steady private practice as a Career Counselor, but mostly I hang out with Tink. If I could do anything in the world, I’d run off to Madison, WI and open a bookstore and grilled cheese sandwich shop.
I have an embarassing picture of Maxthevool in the shower, but I’m too nice to post it.
My tongue is undoubtedly longer than yours.
I share a name IRL with a major Shakespearean female character.
I think farts are hysterical.
I can’t believe I forgot to pimp my two favourite threads. :smack:
Some might remember me from these two threads, both by Cisco: Coke au lait? (post 12 started the horror that is my alter ego), and Root Beer Floats (post 31).
I haven’t done one of those in a while. Then again, Cisco hasn’t been around to start one of those taste-testing types of threads.
I’m the4thmooncat, also called (by myself) “the one with no self-esteem whatsoever”. Comes back on message boards though.
Lessee… I’ve posted everywhere 'cept CCC, CSR, ATMB, and GD. The first three are kinda boring to me, and all those people in GD want cites. I hate cites. Ok, not really, but I don’t like them.
I’m literal… very literal. That’s why my posts usually look like rambling. Like this one. My mind insists on having everything right.
Lessee again… I’m obsessed with anime, computers, and video games. <blatant thread-promotion>I’m currently video-game-deprived, so if anyone feels like helping me… please… </blatant thread-promotion>
That covers it. I think.
I’ll probably be back later to clarify. Freaking literal-ness.
Awwww, yeah! Look out world!
So, what do you want to do tonight, Shirley?
Same thing we do every night, MagicEyes. Try to take over the world!
Gillian, I find you strangely fascinating. For many years I felt I wasn’t the smart one - I felt I lived in my brother’s shadow. He’s a mathematician and I’m not. I always thought my more arts-oriented bent wasn’t really the thing. So, what is your area of genius?
I’m over here hangin’ out in the smoking area, looking on with mild amusement at the love fest being carried out by those guys, while the rest of us remain gleefully anonymous. I write stuff, the thread dies. It’s all right, I suppose, nobody’s stacked my locker yet.
Hey, me too. Barry Manilow could write us a theme song…
“I write the stuff that makes the whole thread die…
I write and others say ‘When come back bring pie’
I write the stuff that makes Cecil cry.
I write the stuff, I write the stuff…”
(so, if I recall, you’re a TallyDoper too. right?)
