I do and she thinks I’m odd.
I think he wears fucking carpis.
I still look hot in shorts, baby.
Sorry, Frank.
WHOOOOOSH!!!
Just playing to the crowd.
We couldn’t find anyone to swear out the warrant, even later.
Hey, aside from being right all of the time, that’s my greatest asset.
Is this the situation where we say “When come back, bring pie?” I never understood that one.
there’s actually a very interesting psychological phenomenon going on here, which I’ve seen on the board several times. Random Internet Surfer finds the Dope, thinks “Wow, a forum for intelligent people who fight ignorance. I’m intelligent and have vast knowledge, surely they will all bow before me.” Then when we don’t, they leave in a huff.
Maybe we should put something on the homepage saying “You’re more likely to find your own ignorance than to identify it in others. Come expecting to learn, not to preach.”
I think you’ve got something there.

Yes, but quite often the Political Debates here in the Pit are politer.
Ah, the Lesser Speckled Internet Martyr !
RESISTANCE IS USELESS. YOU WILL ALL BECOME ONE WITH THE DOPE.
It is the Path of the Sith, my young apprentice.
But until then, you can shoot blue lightning out of your hands ! How cool is that ?!
I end of imploding in it…
Well, since our esteemed OP has not seen fit to monitor her driveby shitting I can only surmise that after telling us how intolerant we are because we argue to consensus it’s now time to visit a breastfeeding message board to extol the virtues of formula, to explain to the long hair board how superior short hair is due to ease of maintenance, to rail at the large penis support board group for their lack of helpfulness in aiding the short cocked to cope with their deficiencies and to explain to the board dedicated to performance cars that they’d be ever so much better off riding tiny mopeds.
We’re so darned busy being intolerant and mean that we just don’t appreciate how difficult the OP has it what with monitoring the internet for correctness and all–the responsibility must be crushing!
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Empress has left the building!
Elen_Luyddog had a fit
The Straight Dope is lacking in wit
No open-minded thinking
Keeps this place stinking
And we’ll end of imploding in it
I like this - it’s what I get most from the Dope, really. I like the humor, and some of the debates, but mostly I hear and learn things I’d have never known otherwise.
As for the OP, I’m heartbroken that the OP is going to be leaving. After all I’d enjoyed and been illuminated by all the posts they’d left in other threads I’ve been involved in…
Oh, wait, this is the first time I’ve seen the poster that I can recall.
There are posters who’ve left whom I have missed, but someone I never knew? Get over yourself, peakwattle. I don’t think anyone here is going to care. Even if you’re as exquisite as you seem to believe, I sure haven’t seen any of it. Nor has anyone in the thread, it seems.
I get the odd feeling that the OP has an excellent command of American English, but not a native one. Not that it matters, I suppose.
Things that make you go hmm.
I’m new too though I’ve been lurking for years . Seriously, the OP is deranged because I am reading a completely different Dope.
You all make me laugh, make me think, ponder life a bit, you get the idea. I feel like I’ve already come to know some of you through your postings, your words somehow transcribe your feelings and personalities through to me, a strange guest!
So I will most likely be subscribing and not leaving like the OP. What on earth could she be looking for that is not right here on the Dope?
Well with that attitude there is only one thing I can do.
Welcome you to the Dope and hope you enjoy it.
Quite.
