I came back … I brought pie 
I’d post mine but it’s on a videogame forum and also the most embarrassing thing ever. The only reason I haven’t edited my posts into oblivion is because the guy I was arguing with quoted me a lot. And mocked me. In brain spaghettiing English. 
I have such a problem with cites. I’m so keen to remember my latest fascinating nugget of information that I forget to remember where it was or how to find it again.
I wander into GD sometimes, but the threads there hurt my head because it always seems to end up with the same two people ramming their heads against one another before giving up in disgust.
Uh guys, before you rush in for membership of the IIDU, I should warn you that the compulsory entry vascectomy is not covered by medicare.
Awwwright Ashkicker you da sub-human. When Bear_Nenno can’t be there to head our meetings you can take over.
Four posts in one thread where three of them are thanking other posters for showing you your shortcomings certainly put your credentials on solid ground.
I would like to follow your lead in proving my worthiness (unworthiness ? Are either spelled right?) but can’t find the thread. I will sum it up thusly: I got in an argument over scientific fact with Q.E.D. But I stuck to my guns until the thread sunk out of sight.
Can I join? I’m so dumb that I only got foxymoron’s name just then.
Heh. You made me curious, so I did a liottle digging and found this thread, which is the one I’m pretty sure you were referring to.
I’ve got my own stupidity thread, too. So, can I stay?
How 'bout calling us the SDUMB? Straight Dope United Moronic Bums. Then, when people ask, we’ll just say it with a slight accent and they’ll think we meant SDMB. That way we’ll sound cool, without having to know anything.
Or the IDIOTS. Inferior Dopers (Intellectually) Of The Straightdope
We need to brand ourselves right. After all, the big bad corporations of the world make their money from us.
I can already see the t-shirts and mugs. This could be huge.
I swear to you, after reading Timothy Zahn’s Angelmass, it made perfect sense to me. But when I just looked up the definition again…nothing… d’oh!
Anyway, I sympathize with you and will join your club. Also, I’d like to point out that xash’s suggestions for names were strangely clever…ya know, like the kind of cleverness us IIDUies don’t exhibit… now where’s the suspicious smiley? …or would that be a frowny…?

Oh, great. Another foreign quote… What is this, Italian?
Well I guess it could qualify as foreign- it is from The Day The Earth stood still to bring Michael Rennie back to life. It really indicates that I never watch anything much more uplifting than 1950’s science fiction movies.
I think a name should be simple so I have a prayer of a chance of remembering it.
Dumb United Dopers is as about as complicated as I can handle.
I don’t have proof of bein dumb, but I can say that I never say anything in threads that gets replys… they are totaly ignored…I think that this will qualify me. Too dumb to even comment on.
I brought brownies
moves to the front of the line
I called ahead and booked a reservation here.
Hmmmm… what’s Biotop and SolGrundy doing here? 
Gee - It looks like *half *the people here - shouldn’t be here.
Mods - Please remove the smart people from this thread.
And… Where’s Ed Zotti?
I’m KIDDING!!!
Have you ever met some (not all by anymeans) of the people that have passed the Mensa test?
“Socially retarded” was coined just for them.
Ah. I’m home.
My post count would equal Handy’s (if he were still around) if I posted every reply I ever drafted instead of deleting it in a fit of insecurity.
In fact I just looked at the above statement and almost deleted it. Instead I’ll leave it up to prove that I do belong to the IIDU.
I do this exact same thing. There are times that I will spend 30 minutes on a long indepth reply, only to preview it, and say never mind and delete it. :rolleyes:
The best part is when you end up forgetting that you canned the post.
“Why is no-one answering my question? Oh… I never posted it.” :smack:
um I do this as well. I forget I didn’t post it, and then try to find the post I took such care in writing. :o
See I belong here!
Given that this (post #6) is the extent of my high-brow intellectual posting around here, I think I qualify for a Lifetime Charter Membership.
I am screech-owl, and I too am a D’OHper.
I’m dumber than all the people who posted links to show how dumb they are, because I don’t know how to post those kind of funky links where it looks like a word of your post but it really goes to http:/what the hell ever.
We may not be bright enough to be of much help in the fight against ignorance, but at least we have the sense to keep our mouths shut most of the time, thereby not furthering the spread of ignorance. I suggest the following motto for our as-yet unnamed club:
<name of club>
Keeping our unsupported opinions to ourselves since 1973, at least most of the time.
