How I can tell I've 'arrived' as a Doper...

You know you like it, mnem! Don’t Deny!

*1) I’ve hosted a post party. *
Sadly, yes. But not since I hit 200.
*2) I’ve had a lookalike troll. *
Not a troll, but Jackmanni is close enough sounding name.
3) Hi, Opal!
*4) I’ve had a sock puppet. *
Nope.
*5) I’ve posted TMI. *
Maybe for some.
*6) I’ve attended a Dopefest. (Hell, I hosted a Dopefest). *
I’ve attended several, but never hosted.
*7) I’ve met a Doper who doesn’t live in my city. *
That would be Omni (where the hell is he anyway?)
*8) I’ve had a Pit thread devoted to me. *
Sadly, no. I’m just not doing my job, I suppose.
*9) I’ve had a MPSIMS thread devoted to me. *
Embarrasslingly yes. At least two from Snooooopy and one from Crunchy Frog who wrote a really bad poem in my honor.
*10) I have a love interest on the board. *
I don’t think so, but I do/did have a couple of stalkers,
*11) I know what #3 means. *
Know what it means, but never included it in a post, not once.
*12) I’ve got laudatory comments from at least two Dopers in my sig. *
Nope. I haven’t changed my sig since I signed up.
*13) I’ve debated something to the death in GD. *
I’ve only debated something to a bad head clod, not death. I don’t have the discipline for GD.
*14) I speak fluent Felch. *
Unfortunately. I gag every time I hear the word, “squick.”
15) Dopers have mentioned me out of the blue IRL.
On occasion.

AND … several Dopers who I know in real life, call me “Jack” instead of my real name.

  1. I’ve hosted a post party.
    Yep, I think I did for Rasa.

  2. I’ve had a lookalike troll.
    Not that I’m aware of.

  3. Hi, Opal!
    Hi, Opal! Wow, that does feel kinda good.

  4. I’ve had a sock puppet.
    Nope.

  5. I’ve posted TMI.
    Over and over and over again.

  6. I’ve attended a Dopefest. (Hell, I hosted a Dopefest).
    Attended all the ChiDopes since I found the boards. Have hosted one Doper who was visiting (Hi thinksnow!) and have another coming in a week (Hi Robyn!) which might turn into a dopefest. We’ll just say yes, in other words.

  7. I’ve met a Doper who doesn’t live in my city.
    Ayuh.

  8. I’ve had a Pit thread devoted to me.
    Nope, not yet.

  9. I’ve had a MPSIMS thread devoted to me.
    Ayuh, but not in a while.

  10. I have a love interest on the board.
    Oh, my. Yes, indeedy.

  11. I know what #3 means.
    Ayuh.

  12. I’ve got laudatory comments from at least two Dopers in my sig.
    No, but I can name a 1/2 dozen people at least that have or have had me in their sigs. Fair 'nuff, says I.

  13. I’ve debated something to the death in GD.
    Nah. I’ve thrown my $.02 in on occasion, but I don’t debate much.

  14. I speak fluent Felch.
    I, like dpr, thought this said French. I was very confused. Regardless, I can speak Felch, but choose not to.

  15. Dopers have mentioned me out of the blue IRL.
    I believe this to be true, yes.

  13. I’ve debated something to the death in GD.

Wow, I’ve really made the big time now.

I had a look-alike troll. :rolleyes:

Thanks to the sharp eye of our beloved Odieman, the imposter was quickly sniffed out and shown the door.

Can’t believe no no answered this already…

Opalcat apparently used to rage about 2 element lists.
She said they should be at least 3 elements. Someone then started to use “Hi Opal” as the third element on short lists. Now it gets used a lot. I don’t use it, I don’t want to risk incurring the wrath of someone who I saw asking people to write on her head…

*1) I’ve hosted a post party. *
Yes, not for me.
*2) I’ve had a lookalike troll. *
No, but I look like a troll…
3) Hi, Opal!
Actually have MET Opal
*4) I’ve had a sock puppet. *
No
*5) I’ve posted TMI. *
Don’t THINK so…
*6) I’ve attended a Dopefest. (Hell, I hosted a Dopefest). *
Been to 2, never hosted.
*7) I’ve met a Doper who doesn’t live in my city. *
Yes
*8) I’ve had a Pit thread devoted to me. *
Don’t think so. Still a Pit virgin
*9) I’ve had a MPSIMS thread devoted to me. *
No
*10) I have a love interest on the board. *
Currently under evaluation. No “L” bombs dropped…
*11) I know what #3 means. *
As I said, I’ve even met Opal.
*12) I’ve got laudatory comments from at least two Dopers in my sig. *
No, but I’ve had comments reach a couple of other people’s sigs. Only sig I ever used was from a non-doper at a dopefest.
*13) I’ve debated something to the death in GD. *
Don’t do GD.
*14) I speak fluent Felch. *
No. Board has made me familiar with the term, though…
15) Dopers have mentioned me out of the blue IRL.
No.

BTW, the "no no" in the above reply to SexyWriter should've been "no one"
