Ditto every item on Colophon’s list, except that I’ve seen the Matrix and like Weebl and Bob.
Also:
I actually like loud parties, clubbing, drinking to excess and talking shit. I’d probably be pitted for general obnoxiousness if I ran into certain US Dopers in real life.
I really can’t get excited about debates or arguing with people on-line. I just want to get along.
There are many things on the OP’s list that apply to me and I agree with the poster that said that the OP hasn’t missed much having not been to Walmart.
The main new item I’d like to add is TMI, I’m just not into that type of shit. 
I can appreciate that. I admit I felt a little strange on attending a Dopefest, until I said to myself “Hell, self, you go to pubs all the time where you don’t know anyone at all and strike up conversations with complete strangers that you’ve never met in any capacity, not even on a message board.” Made it much less weird. At least it would have been less weird had I said it to myself in my mind instead of out loud, in the pub.
Right. You need to find out where the Target headquarters is and go there instead.
And yes, I am too lazy to look it up for you.
Some of those apply to me, too…

I think the biggest difference between me and other Dopers is that I’m capable of having a political discussion without turning it into a shouting match about George Bush.
If you really haven’t seen Weebl and Bob, you can find 'em easily. When you go to Google, type in Weebl Bob Pie . You’ll get a link to an animation site called albinoblacksheep. Click on it for a crude, but very funny, short piece about pie.
Slight hijack, but I might as well ask here … Manga - how is it pronounced? My little sister likes it and I don’t wanna look like a TOTAL square.
The Japanese would say Mahhng - ah.
The gaijin say Mang-a with the Mang like Bang.
Hmm, I’m not like other Dopers because… hey! I’m everything you said on the list. :dubious:
Because I sold 41 million dollars worth of mortgage loans today.
I am interested in many things on the OP’s list but I guess the biggest differences which set me apart are -
Not American
I am older than most
I do not have a degree nor am I an expert in any field
My posts are short, to the point and almost always anecdotal
Have no interest in GD, religion or US politics
I do not bother reading long drawn out posts, if I can’t get through it in a few seconds, forget it.
I do not know anyone here personally, and other dopers rarely acknowledge or respond to anything I write
I would really like to see everyone’s opinion valued here and also see more input from non Americans on these boards.
Nothing to add here, except to give a short explanation of MST3K (for those that want to know).
It’s a television show where they show really bad old movies. When you watch the show it looks like you’re in a movie theater. And ahead of you are three guys (well, actually one guy and his two robots, and they’re trapped on a space station or something, and they’re sentenced to watch these awful films, but that’s not too important) who are snarking on any aspect of the film that makes it a really bad movie. It could the credits, it could be someone’s hair or clothes or diction. It could be the utter lack of a plot, or it’s convoluted nature. It could be the lighting, the set, the cheesy special effects. But they give a running commentary to just how bad the movie is. Sometimes you can’t hear the dialog, but it really doesn’t matter.
It was pretty funny. You had to be there.
I’m just like every other SDMB member who’s also a recovering maximum-security prison physician Tolkien uber-geek fan of vegemite and 12 year old cheddar cheese sandwiches who’s personally crashed an airplane and crawled out of the wreckage to take his doper name from an extremely obscure novel within an extremely obscure novel.
Pretty mainstream, really.
"You cannot stay here but, being Misfits Yourselves, you may spend the night on the Island of Misfit Toys.
“And, when you see Santa, could you ask him if he can find homes for all these Dopers?”
…and apparently that isn’t spelling.
I’m active in the militia. Yea, you know… the guys who wear camo and run around the woods with assault rifles.
Know any other doper who’s a member of a militia? Didn’t think so. 
Yeah, you and everybody else, dude. Get in line.
What’s funny is that the OP started out saying he felt like a misfit, yet nearly all the subsequent posts were chime-ins of ‘me neither!’
I don’t fool myself into thinking I am anything but typical. I kinda get the feeling that a lot of the early-twenty-somethings here are in about the same boat as I am…intelligent, working a crap job, set goals and no idea how to reach them. Maybe?
If I had to think of something that might be different about me, um, well…crap.
-I actually LIKED the Star Wars prequels, including Jar Jar.
I seem to be fairly unique in that I’m one of the social posters (as opposed to the debating type found in GQ and GD) that really hates in-jokes. If it was ever funny to begin with, it becomes banal after about the dozenth time I have to scroll past it in a completely unrelated thread.
I also dislike TMI threads or posts that are TMI just for the sake of it. Potty humor does nothing for me either.
I haven’t read any science fiction since I was 14.
I like my job. It is good.
I am not, nor have I ever been depressed.
I am a salesman (OK, complex software, but still…)
When I go on vacation, the last flipping thing I want to get anywhere near is a computer.
I went to college on an athletic scholarship, not an academic one.
I can spell.
