rubbing the sleep from her eyes
The SDMB was all just a smart person’s dream. But now I’m home!
There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.
Oh, no, you don’t, you dirty lousy physicist!!! 
Or are you an astronomer? Either way, you’ve forgotten more than I’ll ever know …
Maybe one of YOU should ask one of US to help you name your group. We’d be glad to help.
By the way, the armbands we ordered for you to wear are in the mail.
Go along and play, now. I got you this shiny new truck.
Here you go:
Can soap ever get dirty?
He runs through the basic working principle… laina_f was on the right track.
I am waiting for confirmation of our IIDU motto so I can use it as my sig line. I do like laina_f’s suggestion of “Keeping our uninformed opinions to ourselves since 1973, at least most of the time.” or “Out five bucks and still ignorant” even though that was the T-shirt option. Any other suggestions?
In the seven months I’ve been a member, and I think this qualifies me for the club, I have not, as yet, come up with something witty to use as my signature. Then will come the hard part, figuring out how to add it.
OK. I’m an astronomer. But I still know nothing!
I think anyone with lots of posts to their names needs to explain WHY! Are they moles? Craven toadies who pretended they were smart before?
Stop speaking Russian. If you know two languages you don’t belong here.
Like my namesake (after the effects of the intelligence enhancing surgery wore off) I’m as dumb as a silly mouse. Therefore I think I should get to be a member of this club* too.
- though I’m reminded of the quote that goes something like: “I wouldn’t want to join any club that would accept me as a member.”
Yes, it was Groucho Marx:
“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member”
My favorite personal twist to that:
I refuse to date any girl who would have me as a boyfriend.
At least you read a Tom Clancy book. If what I read doesn’t have loads of breast heaving, bodice ripping, I’ll Save You My Sweet with My Stunning Good Looks, Witty One Liners, Hard Body, Pure Bloodlines and Deep, Deep, Deep Pockets. - story line, I’m lost. So, you are purty smert in my book.
And SDSAB stands for Straight Dope Sex and Beer ** QED** has been a poser all this time and gets his stuff from google.
Don’t hurt me.
I was born to be here, folks!
I have spent most of my time in GD since joining the boards. However, I am growing quite weary of it. Do you guys offer a transitional program of some sort? Perhaps a learners (unlearners) permit?
It does?? They been holding out me! I’ll get you, Dex!!
I try to remember we’re all intellectually inferior to Cecil. That doesn’t make me any smarter, or the smarter people any less smart, but it’s somewhat comforting.
Abraham Lincoln’s version - “I now have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying and for the reason that I never could be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me.”
Hi, my name is Patty and I can’t spell or do Algebra to save my life.
Bad Spellers of the World, UNTIE!!!
All I can do is answer questions about automotive issues and how to make a mean teriyaki chicken.
Can I join? 
Finally, I belong .
But what are we going to do about those SDMB members who try to humiliate us by writing big long posts, filled with big long words and really difficult concepts? Call me paranoid, but I bet they’re already plotting to get rid of us - and probably change the name of the board to Straight Smartypants or something equally elitist!! How can we keep them from wiping the genuine Dopes out of SDMB?
As Marvel said - we gotta untie, and fast!!!
ZombiesAteMyBrain, our job is to subtly undermine them, and/or keep them on their toes. So long as they never open this thread, they have no way of knowing who we are. So we ask questions which they, in their innocence, reply to, before they realise we’ve wandered off, distracted by the beautiful butterflies, or the marks on the wall, or the pretty patterns you get inside your eyelids when you close your eyes…
Where was I? Oh yes. We ambush them with d’oh! moments, and try to see how many cites they can come up with before they realise it’s hopeless. And that naturally makes them more alert, and more suspicious, and more likely to beat each other unconscious with Google, leaving the boards free for US! Which would be a good thing, right?
Maybe not. I think I’ll just go and rethink my strategy, if I can concentrate for long enough.
