I seem to vaguely recall hearing somewhere that there are Straightdope Message Boards in other states. Is this true? And, how do you get to them?

I tried to input “straightdope” on a search engine, but all to no avail.

Does anyone know what I am all talking about?

The question is, do _you_ know what you’re talking about.😃

It’s all a state of mind, Jim.

Jim,

Seems to me I remember someone posting something about an SDMB in another **city**. Could this be what you’re referring to? You may have seen a post about a “get-together”. As far as I know, **this** is the only **SDMB** I know about.

If you saw it as a post, give us a link.

Thanks

Quasi

This must be the [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=120523) that eventually led to this one.

No, but that hasn’t ever stopped us before. 😉

Is Jim perhaps referring to/misunderstanding the real-life ‘xdope’ meet ups that seem to happen here and there?

Sometimes posters find themselves in the state of intoxication. Their threads can get pretty entertaining.
