I so just earned the badge “Devotee.” Immediately I thought of our old nemesis umkay. I am not _that_ kind of devotee. RIP umkay.

I got it right off the bat. I think it’s because I always forget to log out.

I’m sorry Straight Dope, while you’re tapping your toe and waiting on my latest witticism, I’m not even present…  
So sorry!  
🤭

Oh P.S. that Umkay thread kinda creeped me out.
