Welcome. We’re glad to have you with us!
Other Dopers Only (not you Clockwork- you just keep doin’ what you doin’ and lookin’ pretty doin’ it… this is just some housekeeping with other Dopers only.

(She’s clearly a troll- I have a directory of every college and university in the United States of America and there’s no such place as a “University of Ottawa”, plus what boyfriend would live with someone who has a cat? I’m thinking either pornbot or Nigerian banking scam- tell Cecil in either case and don’t let her out of your sight- I’ll take the first watch.)*
Amazing how these mistaken university references can trip people up. Way back in Texas, I knew a German who slipped up by telling us he’d been accepted to Washington University in Saint Louis. Thus we knew right away he was an East German spy, since he obviously thought Saint Louis was in Washington.
Thanks! I must admit, I stole the idea from someone in the MizGrand/Rss pit thread that went on a couple months ago. Some were talking about the “jackals of the dope” and someone mentioned the phrase “Clockwork Jackal” (I forget in what context.) And that was it! I had my username!
Do you think that’s wise? I don’t think there’s ever been a double-squidding. There could be danger involved, all those tentacles and stuff. There are whole volumes of hentai about it. It isn’t pretty. I’m thinking maybe the Great Lonk instead. If we can find him. And he’s sober.
I have to say, you have violated one of the unwritten rules of the dope. You mentioned a cat and failed to provide pictures. The dog is optional, but as a lurker you should know about the kitty rule by now.
Elendil’s Heir, what about 1920s death rays? Is it safe for her to approach those? She might really need one if they are talking a double squidding.
Sir, we seem to have a little problem with your payment. Now, y’see, it’s customary to donate a small fee – a tip, if you will – on top of your normal subscription fee for the S’Dope Moderator Retirement and Booze Fund. Oh, and generally one slips some money into the pocket of each Administrator (folding money only please. Around here, we call a roll of pennies “the Banmagnet”).
Now, I’m sure it’s just because you’re new around here, but, you wouldn’t want to come across as… unseemly, would you?
Welcome to the Dope, Clockwork Jackal. We can never have too many Canucks around here. Have to talk about something other than GWB once in a while, you know.
Have fun, and don’t take it too seriously. Unless a mod is giving you an official warning. That you should probably take seriously.
