> [@Giraffe](#): > > **jessesheeran** , on behalf of all message board moderators everywhere, allow me to profusely apologize for the shabby treatment you have received. While we strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for even the most illiterate dingbats to post any and all half-formed ramblings that pass through their heads, we do occasionally fall to live up to the standards of excellence we strive for. I do hope you’ll continue to share with us any ideas or overheard bits of conversation you happen to come across. Don’t worry about explaining what you mean or writing in complete sentences – we’re more than happy to figure it out ourselves from links and a few scraps of seemingly unrelated gibberish. Honestly, it’s our pleasure. We’re just happy to have you here. > > Welcome to the SDMB. Oh how I laughed 😃 ---

First time _I_ heard this. Not that humans originated in Africa, but the “then there were drums” bit. Is this some pop culture reference, from like SNL or something? ---
