Yes, I got it.
I am relieved.
Oh no, you’re not. Your shift isn’t over yet. Return to your post, soldier!
Well, they first put glasses on me when I was six, and it probably should have been six months. Looks kind of like a hummingbird to me . . .
Thank you all for taking me in after snopes kicked us all out.
I haven’t read the thread. I just wanted to say that when I read the title, I thought it said…
I just want to shank all my Doper friends.
If we keep giving N_P crap about their avatar, they may need to make that change.
I beg your pardon! Good day, sir!
(Really, I wish everyone a good day, regardless of their faulty opinions about avatars.)
Considering most of the friends I’ve had in my life have been &^##$s, I like to think of you folks as more than just “friends.” That being said, loan me $20 'til Monday?
Just one or two.
I keep a little list.
They’ll none of them be missed.
I missed this post my first quick skim of the thread the other day. I’m touched, and I’m very glad to have helped.
Murder is trivial. It’s getting away with it that’s harder.
Still a totally worthwhile endeavor. PM me if you need help w anything.
As @Morgyn says in this thread, Dopers are the greatest people in the world.
I’ve been a daddy’s girl my whole life. I look like him, act like him and he was the first man I ever loved. He introduced me to Sci-fi and fantasy. He taught me how to drive and how to take care of my car. He has let me cry on his shoulder when I’ve had heartaches, celebrated with me when I’ve had joy and been there to answer any question I might have with candor and compassion. If something happens to him, I’m going to be lost. Around Thanksgiving, my sister called me to say that he w…
As Bilbo said, “I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
Seriously, there are many of I think very greatly of, true friends and not just people I kind of know because of the Internet.
I want to list them, but I’ll forget someone and feel like an absolute shit.

Thank you all for taking me in after snopes kicked us all out.
I’ll echo this, and add that I am glad to see some familiar faces (avatars) from snopes.
To me it is interesting to see such a variety of people–some older than me, some wiser, some better educated, some more affluent, some with more interesting careers, some with more responsibility–all spending lots of time on online forums, and watching/talking about TV (not to mention comic books). It is nice to know that, beneath the surface, everybody is as big a loser as me.

Bagpipes! It’s bagpipes, for a Piper! Why is that so hard?!?
Look, we love you, OK? You’re one of the best posters on the board. Truly. But what you’ve got there is the world’s ugliest hummingbird.
(Somebody had to say it.)
I think it looks more like something being stabbed to death with spears.
Well said, Sir.

At least he had the integrity to keep his avatar, not replace it with an indistinguishable kitty pic like about a dozen people did the last time we had an avatar pile-on.
Hey, hey, HEY! My kitty is entirely distinguishable!
Could you please elaborate on the Snopes thing? I missed something there. Did they have a discussion board one time that got shut down? Or were you all misbehaving?
