Our wise little friend probably just filled it with smileys. ---

I _was_ going to sak for a link, but now I think I’ll take everyone’s word for it and go with my better judgment, for a change. ---

What’s weird is that he had a whole bunch of normal posts for a couple days around the beginning of April. Then there was nothing for two and a half months. And now this explosion of innanity. I might discover some sort deep truth if I examined it more closely. Or my head would explode from the stupidity of it all. I’m not quite prepared to take that risk. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TheLoadedDog \* > \*\*Our wise little friend probably just filled it with smileys. \*\* For some reason, that thread opened up just fine for me, and the “OP” was exactly that: filled with smileys. Rather festive, if not staggeringly pointless. ---

Yup. If only he had paid better attention is his mathematics class, he wouldn’t have made such a greivous estimation error, and then this pinnacle of wit and wisdom would still be with us… ::sigh:: ---

I remember somebody was banned before he even posted because his sn was something like “Imdseger16njssock.” ---

I find that the search engine is unable to bring up a list of this person’s posts. Match on poster’s name for “DippityDoo”, posts newer than 6 months = “Please specify some words or valid user names to search on. There were no matches for those that you specified” Partial match on poster’s name for “Dippity” same time frame = same thing ??
