I like this approach. I’m going to remember it, should the occasion ever arise.
So I shouldn’t wear the
“3. Hi, Opal!”
T-Shirt Opal made for me?
Yep, I’m special.
I keep meaing to make a button that just says SDMB on it. White with black letters. If I can find a button-maker, I’ll do it, too. Then mail some to people who want them.
Hey, charging a quarter plus shipping (can you send a button via regular mail?) could help me fund my Texas move! And they’d only cost folks $.65!
Now I need a button maker.
Oh wait. Would that be illegal?
I gots me that button maker (I’m not sure if I’m allowed to have an SDMB button, I cruise through most of the workday every day. but post maybe once a fortnight).
Anyways… um… what was my point?
Oh, the button maker. Yes. It’s a very cute Hello Kitty one, which goes with my rugged visage just nicely!
Made by Bandai, available at various places here in S’pore, particularly Popular Bookstores (which also exist in HK and Malaysia, and I believe Canadia too, if anyone’s assing through those necks of said woods).
slinks off to continue lurking
oh, and Silver why would an SDMB button be illegal? Or is it the whole, doing-it-without-authorisation-from-the-powers-that-be thing?
I found this to be invaluable.
Ah, thanks! I’ll read up at once.
I found this thread very interesting as well. It was called the SDMB anthology and gives a lot of board history.
You ain’t heard the half of it. Know what the BDSM community calls their get-togethers? A BDSM Munch. I discovered that 2 years after my registration.
I always picture you as looking like Richard Belzer at his most dyspeptic.
Opal, I’d pay real money for one of those.
I would think there would be some real money in making T-shirts that had “inside jokes” from the SMDB on them.
I’d know you without a handshake or password or anything, Shirley, 'cause you’d be the most awesomest person in the room. 
At the Nashvegas meets, I usually get to the restaurant first.
So I sit down, & tell the waitress that I’m “part of the Cecil Adams party” & if anybody is wandering around lost, she should steer them to me. 
No, no the Missouri Dopefests are just as exciting, but you always leave early and miss out on all the fun.
WTF is a DOPER?
You are, Doper McDoperson!
If that is your real name…
This just made my day!
Just for that, you get to wear the Secret Doper Red Velvet Fez.
Follow up with
“It’s a Doper thing.”
Well, newbie, I thought that would be self-evident, given the name of the website. 
Missouri? Boring? No way!
I was watching a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 DVD the other day, and Crow yelled “Hi, Opal!” at one point. I think he’s more likely a doper than John Mayer.
But in case I’m wrong: John, you’re a pussy and your music sucks.
