[QUOTE=scout1222] Okay, knowing that the man who played Mr. Ellsworth has posted here tickles me way more than it probably should. [/QUOTE] Me too. I loved his character so much. It’s also neat to learn how much else he’s done, but still–Ellsworth, right here at the Dope! Hee! ---

[QUOTE=FlyingCowOfDoom] 14 k of g in a f p d. –FCOD [/QUOTE] Ok, of the entire thread this got my attention. I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere before. Hey **Bricker** if you do any vanity searches, wasn’t this one of the questions on Pyroto years back? I could swear I can almost remember what it was. ---

We had an entire very long thread devoted to it. In the time that I read it, they never came up with a believable explanation for whast it stood for. I’m not sure how to search for it, and haven’t got the time right now. ---

Yeah, I can tell that it must have had a thread devoted to it, but since I don’t know a damn thing about the contents of that thread, and can’t search for that string, I have no idea how to find it. I still think it was one of the questions for ascention on the **Pyroto Mountain** game from 3 or 4 years ago. ---

E. D.** is now working with the Mythbusters in some capacity, though I don’t think he’s ever been on screen. Of other confirmed Dopers, **ianzin** is somewhat well-known. And we’ve had a few Jeopardy winners, including **5 Time Champ** and **The Man Who** (the latter of whom very briefly held the single-night winning record for the show). On to the realm of speculation, it looked like Mary Jane was carrying an SDMB printout in one scene in the first _Spider-man_ movie, though I don’t think we ever got confirmation on that. I personally choose to interpret that as Kirsten Dunst being a member of the board. I also personally choose to interpret that she’s clearly a big fan of the physics threads where I hang out. ---

[QUOTE=Trunk] Drawing any conclusion about a person’s membership here because of something they said in real life is stupid. I think the reasons given in the OP are completely retarded. . .because he’s intelligent, and intelligent people hang out here? There’s about 5 things wrong with that statement. [/QUOTE] That about sums it up. OPs similar to this one come up around once a year or so. I love this board but I am not so deluded as to think that it’s anything more than a muddy little backwater in the sticks of the 'net. ---

I’ve seen at least one or two jokes that were presented here that have been used in major movies. Namely, _The Bad News Bears_ ca. 2006, and _Reno 911_ ca. 2006. Those thieving bastards! ---
