Sybil would have been a more ironic name for his puppet. Does anyone agree with me?

(1) Lynn rocks. She is the bestest admin in the whole wide world. (2) (a) Talk backs: it’s a cheerleading term, referring to a type of cheer in which the crowd participates. Every school has their own set of “talkbacks,” and every cheerleader knows their schools’ talkbacks. (b) Wild dogs or wild cats: There are no private high schools in Richmond, Ohio, according to the Chamber of Commerce. There is only one public high school in Richmond, Ohio. It’s Edison High. I called Edison High and asked what their team name was. It’s the Edison High Wildcats. 'Nuff said. - Rick ---

Happy to oblige! The challenge was, of course, coming up with questions that were not susceptible to web searches (Edison High does not have a web page) and also not susceptible to asking your next door neighbor’s teenage daughter. (Unless, of course, she was a cheerleader also). Practice from the Bricker Challenges stood me in good stead! - Rick ---

Well, now I understand why yall or so intense when a new poster post. You have to establish if they are someone whom you have already argued with. Bricker, I didnt realize she was a cheerleader but I know what you are talking about we just always called them chants. That was smart./ The aka alias sockpocket stuff would get on my nerves real fast but maybe you should warn people before you grill them why you have to …laughing. ---

This is not about me, my fav group (Backstreet Boys), my make-up (great lash for mascara) or where I live or what clothes I wear or what kind of food I like to eat. This is about guns in MY school!

Well, my first attempt at using the quotes feature went well. This is the pit, feel free to slam me. I meant to say: You guys are getting too good at spotting these sock puppets. This time I was not convinced until I saw Sandy describe herself as “good-looking” in the above quote. Yeah, a teenage girl who actually believes she is attractive. I don’t think so. Nice work SDMB detective team. ---

John, I’m pretty sure **Ty** was talking about outing **Sandycane**. **John John** , I’m afraid, manifested himself as a problem back in December of '97 as **Cyberian54**. (See my post on this thread from 03-10-2000 11:25 AM.) **John John** was publicly identified as **Cyberian54** (by deed rather than name) by **TubaDiva** in November of '99 (not that the rest of we ancient AOL types hadn’t already recognized him). You did, indeed, make a good call (although I do not use _troll_ to describe him), but he had been seen and identified quite a bit earlier. * * * Tom~ ---

I knew he’d been identified previously (both by himself and by others) as being our old pal, Cyb. I was referring to his latest (and last?) sock puppet.
