Suggestion noted.
I’ll only put it in when I’m really smirking.
Its not that I’m trying to be antagonistic, I’m really just enjoying it here. So I smile. I happen to smile in a smirky way.
Any questions for me?
smirk
I didn’t mean to deceive you believe me…
Mr. Urge: You may have guessed already that megalomania is not well-received in these here parts, therefore you may (it’s entirely up to you) wish to tone it down a wee bit. Secondly, the contractive form of “it is” is spelled “it’s”. That was at least one of your first twelve grammatical errors. Grammatical errors aren’t well-received in these here parts either, partner. (I’m trying to impart a Texan flare, is it working?)

inertia:
Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking snoops, as in snooping out UL’s.
The Urge:
I seem to have forgoten to add a sentance in my post, again. I didn’t mean to come off as superior. I thought I had said “I hope you will return the favor.” after my “I will continue to see you” line.
Perhaps I should limit my latenite posting.
Nah.
I will be more watchfull though.
Also, I agree about the smirk. Used more sparingly, it could be effective.
As it is, it is not going to earn you any respect.

Turning to our trusty Websters (Collegiate) we find:
SMIRK: To smile in an affected or smug manner.
From The Little Oxford we find:
SMIRK: Silly or conceited smile.
If I smiled in a way that was “affected,” “smug,” “silly,” or “conceited,” I don’t think I’d point it out in every single post I made. But let’s see what else we have in the ol’ dictionary . . . Hey! The very next entry:
SMITE: To strike sharply or heavily esp. with the hand or an implement held in the hand.
With this in mind, let’s see what the OP has to say:
My first impressions are: 1. that you are sixteen, seventeen, tops. Maybe younger. 2. That you have contributed nothing of worth to this thread or message board, which means you are, so far, a waste of pixels. 3. That your insistence on “smirking” for the lame reason that, hey, you just smile that way (ie, conceited, smug silly, and affected) makes other posters what to smite you. Repeatedly.
No.

Intriguing. However, I’m actually 19 and a junior in college. It is a ‘silly’ smile. If you actually knew me, it would be more of a big deal.
On to your second point. Have you read all of my posts? There aren’t very many of them. If not this opinion has no basis. Lastly pixels? I refer to it as text. However,I think of art or graphics in relation to pixels more often. In effect if you look at it with logic, I’d be a waste of emoticons, because they are the only graphics in my posts. Hehe, but that is just a different point of view.
If you have read all of my posts. You’ll note that I do NOT in fact smirk in each. Sorry. Thirdly. If I used a 
in all of my threads I don’t think I would get as much of a problem. I don’t have a smiley code that will ‘smirk’ for me if I did I would post it. Also you might want to look at a lot of other signatures that have emoticons in them. You might notice a few. Go have fun yelling at them
Last of all, thank you for your opinion, I’ll be developing a thicker skin as time goes on. Soon I might be a wonderful callous unfeeling poster with perfect grammar and perfect spelling.
I’m sure I won’t use a smirk then.
You’ll be sorry when I’m gone.
Well, only if the Anti-Smiley Brigade caught sight of one of them. Watch out…they’re everywhere.

I just washed my cat. It’ll take me hours to get the hairs off my tongue.

I really hope you’re kidding me. Hehe, this ‘thick skin’ I’m working on is going to have to be wary of all manner of beast.
He’s got a ticket to ride…
Nope, these aren’t the ones. You’ve got more errors than that (I excluded slang).
Go ahead, check for my errors. I make typos, yes, it is true. On the other hand, I don’t smirk and tell people that they shall be astounded by me.
Not using full punctuation (e.g. quotation marks) is not style, it is an error.
Now for some harder questions:
Who was the first person to mention Shakespeare as a writer, in what book did he do this, and what line does he sue to parody which of Shakespeare’s plays?
Why should we suspect Marilyn vos Savant of inventing her name?
What error of English construction is contained in your user name?
How many cattle did Noah take aboard the Ark (according to the Bible)?
What is “unified theory” in public speaking?
Who was the first NFL quarterback known for regularly moving out of the pocket?
What possible reason do you have for smirking?
Bucky
What is the ground speed of a European Swallow?
Urge looks like you posted last at 12:32 this morning and now it has been approximately 10 hours. Either you are sleeping late on daddies money…or you are researching the answers to Bucky’s questions. Either way it sucks cause you said you stated that you answer questions “right off the top of your head.”
What’s the hold up?
Does mummy and daddie know you are skipping classes this morning?

I could be wrong here, but I don’t think you let anyone in on any secret.
Wisdom is the boobie prize,they give you when you’ve been --unwise!
Yo, aha just to let you know. I’ve got midterms this week. So I was studying. Then went to bed. I’m not going to devote all hours to this board.
Now for some answers.
No idea, that really is a hard question. Although in itself pretty vague. Ask something I could possibly know… I mean, I’m sure there were hundreds who made fun of ol’ bill on paper.
She does the answer column right? Savant is a word that means a learned person, or a scholar. Therefore it’s suspect that perhaps she made up her name rather than born with it. Just to make it fit with her job.
The ‘U’ is capitalized. Then again my first name could be ‘The’ and my second ‘Urge’ making them pro nouns worthy of capitalization.
First guess should be 2 because of the whole loading procedure. I think however it would have to be more, if he brought different breeds, or if you consider other related animals. Then again, I don’t have the bible memorized. This is off the top of my head.
No idea.
First? Likely Nammath. Then again I’m 19 first famous qb I remember was Montana, I don’t recall him out of the pocket much.
No reason in this post. I’m not smiling. Many of you just want to see how bad I can look. Which is fine, some of you are going out of your way though, which I find rude. If you wanted to ‘stump me’ Why didn’t you just ask me how many miles your car.
Ground speed… hmm no idea. I’m sure I could look it up, but that is not the point. Perhaps, harder less specific questions. If I asked my middle name that would be awfully hard to answer. If I asked you what kind of medium 2.5% of the worlds bacterium can live on, that is pretty vague.
Just interesting questions that are general enough that I don’t have to be a biologist, and a history professor, and a mechanical engineer to answer. Who just left my room?
Try being reasonable.
Also aha. I got up at 8:30 am after going to bed at 2:30 am I’m still early for class. I’m going to make a stop at the doctors because of the post I have in the general questions area.
I guess I’m stuck in a dream…surrounded by colored leaves on the ground…
Hey “The Urge”. Answer this question.
Why do I have “The Urge” to stick a pencil in my eye after having read anything you have posted?
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you’ll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
Because… you really wanna see whats on the pencil??
I give up
I was told my sig sucked so i won’t use it.
Hey urge, I like this passive aggressive trollism…it’s like a fight without all the fuss.
Now I *am *disappointed and let down that you didn’t answer some of Bucky’s questions. Only be cause you said in your first post:
Dammit, I wanted to be astounded by you, it would have made this thread fun!!!But so far it seems like you are what we all suspected…a pseudo intellectual troll.
Well you know the old saying, if it seems to good to be true it probably is…

Urge–
Do you hang around Porsche dealers and offer to sell people your 1962 Ford Fairlane?
Do you go to four star restaurants and peddle your leftovers?
Do you try to hang your 1st grade fingerpaintings in the Louvre?
Then why are you offering worthless, unresearched “information” at the site of the best expert in the world?
If you feel compelled to answer questions, why don’t you move your mouse over a quarter of an inch and click on the “General Question” button? THAT’S where people ask questions.
Of course, as you may not realize, since you can’t even understand the simple directions of this website, it’s pretty unlikely anyone is going to believe the answers you post.
First impression? You’re thoroughly unastounding.
As I suggested in another thread, either reign in your ego or put on some asbestos longjohns, because I have a feeling it’s going to get a wee bit hot in here for your liking.
