Unless, of course, you know, that French thingie was, you know, a dumb quote and you don’t know what it means and you didn’t really know you didn’t know and thought you were being smart.

Me: \* “Hi, my name is Seeker and I’m a Stupid Doper.”\* Crowd: _“Hi Seeker.”_ Every time I come to the SDMB, I feel like I’ve taken a stupid pill. I’m not up to speed on current events, don’t know diddly squat about religion, and pay absolutely no attention to politics. Even if I had an opinion on such popular topics of discussion, I wouldn’t be able to express them intelligently. I doubt that I’ll ever go to a Dope Fest-- If one of the Smart Dopers were to strike up a conversation with me, I’d stand there with a blank look and finally say, “Thank You?” ---

_raises hand_ Count me in the not to bright deparment. I just sort of lurk 99 percent of the time, unless someone posts something I feel comfy with in MPSIMS. The one other time I stepped out of this world into the other parts of the board I got smacked with a rolled up newspaper. I think I will just hang out with you guys/gals. ---

Then you can stay. Can I stay if I own the book but have not actually read it? It just sits there on the shelf to impress guests. And that name I gave…that’s not really the name of the book, just a false cover I put on an old Steven King novel. But the language is a rare French/New Guinea dialect. Very rare.

Wow, this is great and they have corn chips… Corn chips are good! I’ve always said ignorance can be fixed but stupid is forever. I actually like to think of myself as ignorant, at least there’s hope. ---

Oooh, ooh! Can I join too? I am relatively well-versed in random trivia, pop-culture and useless knowledge but could rarely,if ever, contribute something worth-while to a GD thread. That forum mostly just makes my brain want to crawl out of my ear and run away. I stay in the safe zone–MPSIMS and Cafe Society. It’s very comfy in there–bright colors, soft chairs, padded walls… _runs out of thread carrying sissors…sicssors…those sharp pointy things used to cut paper_ ---

I keep my posts to a minimum in order to avoid letting on that I’m a dumbass. Yes, even in the fluff forums/threads. I am terrified of being made fun of.
