Hey, Valteron, do YOU remember an old SNL skit with David Spade on an airliner?
"Buh bye… buh bye… um, which part of “BUH BYE” don’t you understand?
Well I might be a cybernerd, or at least a middle-age geek and we have plenty of nerds and geeks on the board, but not all of us are nerds and geeks.
Most of us do not live in our parents basements or homes for that matter.
I think you have mistaken this message board with some other message board.
Many if not most members do learn things on this board. I have picked up some great advice and occasionally given some help to others in areas I know.
We are not all strangers to each other, most of us are, but we also have members that meet up for outings or Dopefests.
BTW: that was a great episode of SNL. It really was.

You never filled out your Customer Satisfaction Form, by the way.
The poor guy can’t decide whether to kill himself or to tell us how much we suck. Decisions can be such a bitch.
Something in my room smells distinctly of roasted peanuts, still in their shell. I think it may be my socks.

Fuuuuuuck you!

(I’m saving myself for John Corrado)
Some people who post 10 times a day post too little.
Some people who post 1.49 times a day post too much.
Just sayin’
So many directions to take this one…
I paid a Corrado for John sex once. But sadly, it apt in this instance. Scary, eh.
Y’know, this place (the SDMB) could better be nicknamed “The World’s Largest Pub”.
It’s just a place where people can kick back and bitch about things (The Pit), talk politics (Great Debates), ask peoples opinions about what lawnmower to buy (IMHO), or shoot the shit about what was on TV last night (Cafe Society).
Everybody’s got an opinion, some are full of hot air, some hit the nail on the head, some are just here to talk and not listen, some just lurk and listen.
And once in a while some holier than thou type comes in and tells everyone they’re a bunch of losers for wasting their time hanging out in the pub, and should get a real life.
Shove off pal! If you don’t like the company go down the street.
Y’know, whether you did or did not actually pay John Corrado for sex isn’t important. The horrible thing is that someone actually thought about it.
Bye the way, does it count as paying for sex if you pay a stripper for a lap dance and accidentally “finish”?
I…find your ideas intriguing, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I’ve been called a nerd and a loser. How will I ever overcome the deep, deep humiliation I feel? :rolleyes:
I have to say, I must applaud this particular turn of phrase as being particularly nauseating. What a…vivid mental image.
goes looking for brain bleach
I’ve taken John Corrado’s money for sex.
I don’t want to talk about it. It was a different time.
If you tip well, then it’s okay.
You forget the priceless satisfaction to be gained by skewering the unworthy on the rapier edge of one’s wit. Not to mention the invaluable technical and scientific savvy one can gain from knowledgeable members, such as the risks of swimming in the open ocean and/or drinking your own urine. I personally am most proud of helping to debunk the urban legend about John Wayne and his alleged terminal 50 pounds of accumulated colonic matter.
But much less than 50 pounds worth.
Did you write lyrics for Supertramp?
Well, maybe not. :dubious:
Stick around, at least through the fall elections. It’ll be fun, and many minds will be changed forever.
Why is it never the people who like the boards, who have a good reputation on the boards, who complain about objectivity?
Of course we’re affected by our surroundings and upbringing. And that’s going to have a strong effect on who we are and what we believe in. But hey, we can try, and really that’s the point of the whole endeavour. Not being able to totally get over your prejudices is no excuse for giving in to them, O non-cybernerd.
Oh, and you’re an ass, Valteron, and a predictable ass at that. Can’t you at least provide some entertainment by revealing your asshattery in a new, fun way?
Dou you know of anyone who doesn’t?
Um…I just come here to avoid work and maybe crack wise.
Fourteen dollars? Man, you got ripped. I only paid seven-something.
