**rico776** : ever thought about starting a “Ask the Native American Indian” thread? That would be an interesting one - you should consider it.

Oh come on. You think that one ain’t gonna whoosh right over him? Then again, I’d guess he’s probably only a few credits from being a Sophomore…

Hey Einstein, the name of your farkin’ thread is _“Jose Cuervo.”_

No really. Look it up.

You’re probably right.

I should’ve stuck with something like

“your so GAY!”

I’m sure that’s more on his level.

Just gotta say, this now my Insult of the Week. It has such a ring to it, especially if you lengthen the “n” sound a bit as a leadin … I’d be chanting it right now but the roommate’s asleep and I don’t even want to think about her reaction to being woken up by me hollering “Knuckletrout! Knuckletrout!”

Cool. That’s the first time that’s ever happened to me. I opened this thread while the newly departed \*\* rico \*\* was a member in good standing (and so was ata66). While clicking on some of the links, noticed they’d been banned. So I refreshed this thread. Yep, they’ve been banned while I was reading the thread.

Not so - the numbers have nothing to do with it; the apostrophe’s correct anyway, since it’s possessive. Signed, [_The Apostrophe Nazi_](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=185128).

What I _meant_ to say is “since it’s a name, even though it contains numbers, the apostrophe is correct”.

rico776 and ata66 are not only brothers but are also twins, which is why people who looked at the profiles saw similarities and why i think lynn initially removed me. the difference betwee us is that he’s been kicked off for his posts and i’m still here because that’s not the way i do things. if you have a problem with rico776, that’s alright with me, just don’t pass it off on me because i’m related to him or a college student(something that has been getting a lot of crap for lately in these boards)

People aren’t bagging on all college students. A huge percentage of the regulars around here are college students. You see, a lot of us have been online for well over 10 years, dating back to the Usenet days. There’s this thing that tends to happen every summer and again in December when some students (not just college students by the way) have a lot of free time on their hands. They’ll invade message groups and post a lot of stupid crap that doesn’t fit with the spirit of the particular group. **rico776** was a good example of that. That is the thing to which some of us have been referring. Get it?

He’s dead, Jim. No worries about it over here.

I happen to like the name Jim… in fact, that was the name of a rather cool saxophonist dude in the high school band.
