“The Straight Dope” is an expression that means “factual information”. As in, we espouse the truth around here, and are enemies of dis/misinformation and falsehoods.
It has nothing to do with drugs. I know you think smoking dope is the coolest thing since the Ice Age, but I think you (both) have misunderstood the usage of the word “dope”.
Yeah, and when you get banned again, suddenly there will be a new addition to the family, bobby yozzer yozzer2001@excite.co.uk

For the Straight Dope
Did Lynn just do a Weakest Link impersonation? 'Cause, I liked it.
Thanks, Lynn. I was having a hard time keeping a straight face.
Good one Lynn,but do you think these people will come back???
The name of the mythical bird is PHOENIX.
You are not a phoenix.
Were your IQ, a fire, it wouldn’t be a respectable birthday candle. You are the weakest link, goodbye.
People? What people? People know how to read and write. People have some semblance of reason and intelligence. You are not people. I can only assume that you are a random series of keystrokes, brought upon by a pig crapping on a keyboard carelessly left out in the trough by a drunken English farmer.
Didn’t the phoenix die a second time (or, in this case, a third)?
:rolleyes:

Carthage said the same thing about Rome.
Hastur, I thought you knew your mythology. The PhOEnix was ready to die it buit a nest of aromatic wood and set it on fire. The Phoenix was consumed by the flames. When it was burned, a new Phoenix sprang forth from the pyre. When the new Phoenix gains maturity, it carries the remains of it’s predicessor to the temple of the Sun-God in Egypt.
The PhEOnix, however is the PhOEnix’s dumber cousin, which hangs around campfires, and complains of the chill. It gets verbally abused by all those it approaches because of it’s odiferous nature, but due to it’s lack of understanding, it doesn’t care. Eventually, it chokes to death on a chicken bone, and after several months, a new Pheonix emerges from the rotted carcass. It’s first words are always “erm. Hello? I’m all-over covered with yuk?” When the Pheonix gets a bit older, it kicks some dirt and leaves over it’s predicessor’s remains and feigning nonchalance, walks away muttering “Nobody saw me. They can’t prove a thing.”
I’m surprised that a man of your education didn’t know that 
Fenris
If I may paraphrase a quote from Billy Madison.
Christ, can’t someone drive a stake through his heart or something to keep him from coming back? This is turning into Martians Go Home!

Generally before I begin to speak in a new setting I like to get a sense of the level of the room. In real life this usually takes just a few seconds, but online it takes much longer. This is usually because the whole writing, reading, posting process takes time and you are not exposed to any subtle cues like body language. I, therefore, tend to lurk for a week or two before I post at all, just to get an idea of what is acceptable and what is not.
This is probably where you (or however many of you there are) got off on the wrong foot. I suspect that if you had done what I do, you would have found that this is not the place for you. We tend to appreciate thoughtful discussion and meaning filled posts. You seem to prefer non-sensical ramblings. We prefer humorous stories posted in jest. You seem to prefer to post jokes that are absolutely deviod of humor. You see, we are completely different and we just aren’t right for each other. I’m sorry it had to end this way.
One last thing, when you are asked to leave it is unspeakably rude to attempt to sneak back in. I trust that the Administrators have made you aware of this, so I won’t belabor it. I only suggest that you heed their advice in this matter to the utmost. Thank you.
