Beautiful. A brainfart in my own brainfart thread. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=367248&page=2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=367248&page=2) I’m going outside now, play with my little girl. For those of you so inclined, you might want to pray that I don’t hurt myself or something. ---

So what do you call it when you screw up the coding of a link in the OP of a thread about how dumb you feel about a mistake you made in another thread? Can we call it Smeghead’s Law? ---

[/QUOTE] You can’t get a law named after you from identifying an anomaly which the offender has already acknowledged himself. That’s Rigamarole’s law. ---

[QUOTE=Smeghead] I can if I say so. –Smeghead’s Corollary [/QUOTE] If a Corollary falls on the SDMB, and no Mods are there to witness it, does it make a sound? ---

[QUOTE=Rigamarole] You can’t get a law named after you from identifying an anomaly which the offender has already acknowledged himself. That’s Rigamarole’s law. [/QUOTE] But we can call the act of trying to get something named after you Smegheadding. I think the worst I’ve done is type a homonym to the word I meant to type. It’s very annoying and embarassing. ---

Where but on the Dope could you get nine replies (all right three of them yours) on a confession of embarrassing yourself? ---
