Do you ever, like, you know, hide stuff in your posts?

Inside jokes? Sly references? Little additions that only a few other Dopers would get?

I don’t . It would be unfair to everyone else, everyone outside the loop. That’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it.

Oh, and I just have to say, yeah, you can have too much chocolate icing.
-Rue. (a real upfront kinda guy)

I do, sometimes, but only expect wit from me in hindsight.

I know I’ve done this, but can’t remember any specifics.

Do I? You betcha, yeah. On occasion, I’ll make a reference that nobody but my intended viewer would ever realize was a joke, or a flirtation. Am I doing it now? Nope. But I could be.

If you want to hide stuff in your posts, ask me how I got our first president’s last name in this thread.
Go on, search for the word (the name of Seattle’s state) and see if it doesn’t say it’s here!

Awww, MrC, that is soooo CUTE! I didn’t know you cared!!

:smiley:

The nerve. So, what are we, chopped liver! You should be so lucky as to get one of us.

Geez! How’d you do that? No, really! How’d you do that?

My first thought is, …Don’t fuck with the boards.

Very clever, Mr. Levity. The old “invisible url” trick, eh? Did you really think we would fall for that? GUARDS!

I’m not clever enough to hide anything. If I am, only one person would get it, and he would end up not reading the thread. I want people to catch my jokes and say, “Haha! That FUB, she’s so funny.”

Of course my first inclination whenever I see anything from Rue here is to say:

what the heck! How did he get out of MPSIMS? Did the electricity go out or did he just somehow trick the guards?

My second reaction would be to ask our dear Rue to never hide anything in his posts. It’s just not hygenic.[

And if my third reaction, had I enough wattage remaining in my brain from Dopefest, would be to stash something clever in here for someone special to find. But alas, [url=Hi ladyfoxfyre, I haven’t seen you in a while and I hope all is okay and that you are happy now that the Bucs won a game!]](Rue you really missed a great, flirty Dopefest, I hope you can make the next one, buddy!) 'tis not to be.

Yep, I’ve done it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Some times it seems every word in my post is hidden. And other times people can see my words, but not my meaning.

Like right now.

That’s impossible.
How could you hide anything?
I would catch on right away.
So don’t even try.

It’s also not fair.
So shifty.

How would you like to miss something?
Only in dire emergencies should you hide things, like
When it would be fun.

I love sneaking in inside jokes - I do it IRL and I’ve done it here. In fact, chances are, the attempts at humor that are particularly weak are probably feeble inside jokes. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it. (Dang, I’m quoting Rue in his own thread…)

Anyway, sneaking is a pretty strong word. It brings to mind sneaking to a sleezy hotel for a nooner or something equally naughty. Not that I know about things like that, being all wholesome as I am…

Never mind. I’m obviously unable to function because Rue sounded like he was dissing chocolate… must control spatula of death… (I was making flan earlier, serving it with a spatula - and spatula is a fun word.)

Yeah, as disconnected as the above mess is, one would suspect there’s a hidden message… or a deeply disturbed poster… Have you noticed I do this: … a lot? It gets annoyong after a while…

Carry on.

Yes, if someone behaves like a complete ass on the boards, I tend to stew about it and wait until I am doing a generalized rant several months later. Then I’ll list their offense like it’s something that just bugs me generally, but in truth I’m thinking of their stupid dumbass move in particular.

For example: Any “drama queen” complaint I ever make? I usually have some particular examples and posters in mind, but it isn’t generally a recent offense.

Call me the GrudgeMeister.

No.

I have.

He knows when I’m talking about him.
Speaking of talking about him… purple!

I’ve put a few references that only other Frank Zappa freaks would get.

You’re the GrudgeMeister.

I’ve hidden various references in my posts from time to time. Often it’s references to old board history.
