I'm new here but...

Isn’t all sushi “dead sea rolls”?

OG GAG!

Well, Ferrous some of us don’t deserve any credit.

OG!! OG!! OG!!

It’s pronounced “dumas”.

Dumbass…

How can you possibly complain about a thread that contains a gem like:

Friggin’ hilarious! Way to go, istara!

Ah, Robb, self-restraint can be a bitch. It takes every ounce of discipline I can muster to not go into the “WIRED magazine” thread over in the Cafe and make the obvious Simpsons reference.

Hey, I know—I’ll do it here and get it off my chest!

WEIRD? I love WEIRD!

Hey, wait, this isn’t WEIRD!

Hey, wait, there’s no such magazine as WEIRD, is there?

Whew! Now I feel better.

I changed my mind. I just had a dumb pun, but nobody wants to read that. :wink:

Seriously, some of it comes from emulating Cecil, patron saint of Curmudgeons.

Personally, I like it. You can get good answers or debate from smart people AND some smartass humor. And inside jokes and references are what make it a community.

If you just want a serious answer, try to blip over the smartass and dumbass replies and interact with the people who are actually trying to be helpful.

Feel better now, Ferrous?

Oh, by the way, erictelevision, welcome to the nuthou…er…boards! :smiley:

Much.:smiley:

God but I love obnoxious and OT! I thought the Dead Sea Rolls was an intentional joke and never read it. May I just say . .

bwahahahaha! That was great!

I wish I had the wit of some of you, but since I don’t, I just have to be a vicarious smartass. Obnoxious and OT is what makes SMDB such a joy.

So when will 'punha be running naked through this thread…?

That thread is an excellent example of what the SDMB is all about. Truly funny smartass posts mixed with truly informative serious posts including cites. Someone even linked to a relevant article by Cecil Himself! It doesn’t get any better than that.

If you don’t like what happened in that thread, erictelevision, you won’t enjoy your time at the SDMB.

Oh, did you not get the memo? Us bad puns only run HALF-nekkid through threads. Deal with Cecil; he posted to his post count party thread, but he didn’t acknowledge me. So I went halfway.

Oh, and to the OP: well, if we took everything seriously, there would be no (or much less):

MPSIMS
IMHO
Cafe Society

And thus 99.9999% of my posts would cease to exist;)

But seriously … we don’t have to be serious all the time, and when it’s your seventh time seeing “ThE mOoN lAnDiNgS wErE a hOaX” … well, it’s kinda hard to take crap like that seriously:)

rolling on the floor, clutching her stomach, tears streaming from her eyes, giggling maniacally

Will you all stop it already? I’ll end up laughing myself to death one of these days…

::tickles Tsubaki::

Some people are so easily entertained…

So what’s wrong with laughing yourself to death? There are better ways to go…but not many, and most of those are /really/ bad for whoever you’re with at the time…:eek:

You don’t mean to tell me you think those things were REAL!?!? :smiley:

D&R

OgNoxious!

You’re new here, I’m new here, what say we get the vibe of this place before asking why people post in the style they do? I don’t see anything wrong as long as they aren’t being too personal or tasteless.

Personally I find the wiseass answers to be the best. :smiley:

I’m not sure why you objected to OT answers. Part of the question involved how much of the Old Testament was found there.

(And if you will note, among the eight “valid” answers was quite a bit of information.)
