Oh Wow! You guys are still here!? Look at that, porta- potties and everything! Hey, this as better than Woodstock!
(flops down on the same patch of grass) What’s up? Oh, jkusters name? Yeah, what’s up with that? JOhn-hmm, I know it isn’t 3:16-maybe it’s code? (Opens backpack) Look, I brought more marshmallows and some hot chocolate. Just help yourselves.
I’m workin’ on it, but in the meantime, ponder this:
Does anyone else hear Disco Stu whenever dalovindj posts?
Chew on that, my fellow Dopers.

(opening up bag of mini marshmallows and package of styrofoam cups) I’m glad I brought these little ones-we can have them in the hot chocolate. I’ve got some sticks for the big ones, but the flames seem to have died right down. Is the war over? Did Esprix win yet? I hope AMPM’s okay, I mean that kid kicks pretty hard…What!?
Well, yeah, I guess he did kinda deserve it, but…Yeah, I’m the same zoogirl that likes scorpions and creepy crawlers…Oh! Okay I get the point! Nah, it’s just that I feel sorta bad when I see anything get hurt. I figured by now Exprix would have put him out of our (giggles) oops! I mean HIS misery!
Ha! I didn’t before but I will now.
How appropriate… a guy who thinks he’s still “hip”… but isn’t.
Ummm…is it just because you like having a big O? <insert leering smiley here>
Maybe his name’s really James Ohn, and the jkusters id is just to throw us off…
OH MY GOD!!!
I think I used to date Disco Stu’s illegitimate twin brother!
OH THE HORROR!! OH THE HUMANITY!!!
Argh! I am undone!
Here’s the boring story: A long time ago, at a University far, far away (well, currently five hours by car), I used to belong to an online community much like Da Dope. As I would write messages on my way to class (of course I would visit the lab between each class, wouldn’t you?), I would usually be too much in a hurry to proof what I was writing. Therefore, I got sloppy, much like LifeOnWry speculated, and would sign my messages “JOhn.”
Of course, friends started pointing this out in the way that loving friends do (sarcasm, insults, mocking put-downs), so I thought to try and be a bit more careful. Even more of my friends made note of my trying to be more careful, so I decided to start intentionally signing things “JOhn.” Since then it became something of my trademark, which helped considerably as there were several people in this community who shared my first name.
There, that’s the long, sordid, mundane story. I hope it was worth it.
Now, I’m going to scan the wild speculations. There may be something in there that I can use in the future…
-JOhn.
This has turned into one of the silliest threads in the pit. Should have started it in MPSIMS, I guess, but who can ever predict?
And the Fight Against Ignorance… marches on!

What a come back…
I was refering to AM/PM’s post, of course…
Nice ripost, Anti/Post. Really smoked him with that one.
(whips out ratty old pom-poms)
AM/PM, he’s our man
if he can’t do it,
GREAT!
Esprix, should we surrender now, or wait for you?
Rises from beach chair, looks at bdgr
Surrender? Aw hell, it’s too hard to raise a flag right now. Just wait 'till Esprix fondues them again.

I’m still working on my response to duhlovin"dj", although since he’s “5000” ( :rolleyes: ) it may be just for y’all’s entertainment. I hope you don’t mind? Good.

Reading Fenris’s description of the individual Wingdings used to transliterate “five thousand,” I note that it is the largest number that can be spelled out as words without repeating a letter.
If this is what dalovindj sees as the significance, I’m still baffled.
Actually, I would believe its something along the lines of Audi 5000…you know, Audi, outta here…
I just havent heard it used that way in many years, so that wouldnt be still “hip”, would it?
Whaaa? HuH?! What am I doing under this bush??? Oh man!! Last thing I remember, I was sitting back, sipping a hot chocolate…OHHH! (sits up, brushing off leaves, cobwebs and an annoyed squirrel). So what’d I miss? jkusters a john? Wait a minute, let me rephrase that -jkusters a John! Oh! it’s his NAME! Cool, Cool, good name. Say, whatever happened to the flame war?
