Sorry, the moderator code forbids me from telling what I know. All right, it ain’t the moderator code. It’s a mortal fear of Lynn’s cousin Vinny.

However, this I can reveal if you promise to keep it just between us. Coldfire ain’t Dutch; he’s _French_! I know, shocking, ain’t it?

**Persephone** isn’t really Queen of the Underworld.  
**Weirddave** isn’t really all that weird. Comparatively.  
**thinksnow** doesn’t _always_ think about snow.  
**porcupine** isn’t very prickly.  
**bernse** isn’t on fire.  
**DynoSaur** isn’t really old. Or dinosaur-like.  
**Jack Batty** is neither Jack nor Batty.  
**MamaHen** isn’t a chicken.  
**SqrlCub** might be a bit squirrelly, but he doesn’t say ‘Gonads and Strife’. Much.

And, whoever is spreading the rumour that I’m Canadian can just bite my rosy red ass. That’s slander, people! _Slander_!

You know, I’ve been saying that for months. Then I saw it on your website, and it freaked me out a little.

Am so. And I know when you’ll be joining me. _Down here_. Muahahahahahaha…

Lessee, what else do I know…

**CrankyAsAnOldMan** is only cranky sometimes, and only a man every second Thursday.

**BunnyGirl** isn’t much bigger than a bunny (and that honks me off, she’s so freakin’ cute)

**Milossarian** slept on my couch.

\*\*Xploder…\*\*nah. IRL, he’s one of the best friends I’ve ever had. I’ll keep my mouth shut about him, if he’ll keep his mouth shut about me. :eek: 😃

Oh, lordy.

You people have revealed how you wipe, whether you pick your noses, the grossest thing you ever ate, and whether you shave your pubes. We’ve discussed anal sex, alternative religions, past broken hearts, phobias, and fantasies. This is all without even thinking of the TMI thread, by the way.

I am reeling at the thought of what would be considered a dirty secret. What possible horrors lurk here?

**thinksnow** keeps the big gun tucked away so Dopers won’t trip over it and hurt themselves.
