Left Hand of Dorkness is the most dangerous poster on this board

I thought that was crows.

Daniel is my hero. I want to be just like him when (if) I grow up.

Left Hand is the most dangerous poster on this board?

Yawn. I suppose your next thread is gonna be: Pope catholic, bears shit in woods.

Tell us something we DON’T know.

I think ravens are smart and devious enough to pull just about anything including murder just like Dorkness over here.

All this may be true, but all his posts are founded in purest Bumcombe! :wink:

(Congrats, Bricker, for doing something really worth doing, and Daniel, you deserve it.)

A worthy anti-pitting from someone most qualified to give it (in a good way).

Polycarp: Please define Bumcombe. Google has failed me.

Yep, crows travel in a murder. I recall reading somewhere (in other words, no cite) that a group of ravens is called an ‘unkindness’. Someone else can use that in a clever joke.

Polycarp misspells a funny :). Asheville is situated in Buncombe County. The first time someone told me that the word “bunk” (as in, “That’s just bunk, and you know it”) was derived from my county’s name, I thought they were teasing me, the same way my sixth-grade teacher was when he told us the word “gullible” was derived from the book “Gullible’s Travels.” But sure enough, Felix Walker, a congressman from my district over 150 years ago, prefaced a speech full of bullshit by saying, “I shall not be speaking to the House, but to Buncombe.” A word for nonsense was born.

Daniel

*Oooh…*so that’s where we get the term “bunkum”? Nifty bit o’ etymology, that.

Left Hand of Dorkness? Dangerous? Tsssh. Let me know when he’s crushed a few empires or blown up a few planets.

I mean, really. :rolleyes: :wink:

LHoD, the praise is well-deserved!

Does this mean we have to be nice to Bricker?

Bears are catholic and the Pope shits in the woods.
:smiley:

Our Daniel in the Lion’s Den (SDMB)?

:smiley:

I prefer to imagine the OP as read by a man who has just set down his third cup of eggnog.

(And I sincerely agree with the sentiment expressed.)

For those of us who don’t pay much attention to usernames, could someone provide links to notable LHoD appearances?

Sure.

Post 28.

That’s a fine example of his typical dangerous, analytical full of BS self. Notice how he skewered the questoin posted by the confused jfranchi even thought the question was clearly directed towards Polycarp. * Bastard* is right.

Let’s all just pretend I can spell as long as we’re at it.

Thanks for the clarification and the etymology.
This is a well deserved pitting, I mean Mpsimmings.

Jim

My previously mentioned “Christmas war” thread.

Note the civil debate between Daniel and FinnAgain. No flames. No insults. Pathetic, I tell you.

Thank god he’s not our Daniel in the Wolves’ Den.
There’s a comment that dates me on this board.
Anyways, as usual, what Bricker says, I agree with.
