Get to the working overtime part!
One place mats of green slime form is under bridges.
Now don’t be slagging the newbies, because of this slime. That ain’t fair. Our very best newbies have likely not even shown themselves yet and are still lurking and observing our ways. Let’s not make them twitchy and scare them off. After all, it’s likely they’re the keepers in the cohort, at any given time!
This greenslime however is like a nasty mould, fouling the air and stinking things up!
Tapu seems rather intelligent and enjoyable. I think she’s a July (but maybe June) join-date.
Doubtful. He has fulfilled the Troll’s Credo of Douchebaggery by becoming the object of so much attention, rather like a slimy green glob that washes up on the beach, emitting a foul stench, but wanting desperately to fit in with the humanoids that have gathered to mock it.
I don’t think Slime is a troll.
I think he makes the mistake of thinking his position is RIGHT and that anyone who disagrees with him is misinformed and if they just had more information they would see they are wrong and he is right.
My perception of Slime is that (and I have no basis for this, just how I picture him) is someone who really is relatively smart but swims in a small pond. He is youngish but not TOO young…maybe early 30’s. He is someone who is college educated but probably doesn’t have the greatest job with the greatest respect and is probably frustrated by lack of upward mobility and salary.
Combine this arrogance of swimming in a small pond with the frustration of not doing well respect/pay career-wise and you get someone like Slime. 
Of course, I could be completely wrong 
Debating high school sophomores whom he gives grades to. No wonder he is so shocked that people ask him for cites or dispute his economic genius.
Ha! Perfect. This fits my perception.
It’s perfectly fine to be snarky and arrogant.
However, snarky, arrogant *and *wrong ? Utterly and completely wrong, of the “herp derp” variety ? Down into the well with you, along with the fire ants covered in acid and the syphilitic howler monkeys with the teeth filed into needle points.
Thank you for this post. I’m a 2012 newbie, but that’s only because --with the heat and all-- my flock decided to cut the fucktard migration short this year.
Why aren’t people telling me about all this new cool shit you can get?
He must be a real joy in the classroom.
Slacker
Bravo, sir.
sniff They grow up so fast.
O’Reilly was a teacher. Must have been torture.
Dang!
He certainly talks like O’Reilly, maybe he is…
Least amongst greenslime’s debating skills is his hairtrigger defense mechanism. It’s like the rhetorical equivalent of Detritus’ crossbow, going off with great force and noise and accomplishing nothing constructive at all:
GS: “We need to reform the voting system because the Democrats having been dressing up ducks in wigs and allowing them to vote for Obama.”
Random non-crazy Doper: “Um, do you have a cite for the duck thing…”
GS “CITE?!? CITE?!? What is it with you people and cites? Do I need to provide you with my Kindergarten transcripts? I’m not going to do all the work for you! Everyone on this board is so obsessed with cites! It just proves that you can’t refute my arguments! This is typical of the Obamessiah libtard mindset! etc. etc. etc.”
On a more positive note, those wishing to un-tar a few worthy newbies are invited to my shiny new thread here: The Bestest SDMB Newbies of Summer 2012 Thread
bah! Cites are tropes.
Well, as Marcello Truzzi* said, “An extraordinary claim requires an extraordinary proof”. If you want to make wild assed claims, you’d better be able to prove them. Political extremists are quite fond of making outlandish claims and then acting offended when people ask for proof.
