Chill, Sparky. It was just mentioned [today](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10614147&postcount=16). There’s plenty of good reasons to heap scorn on the OP without making shit up.

Would someone please register a fucking zygote already and take the heat off **Doors** and **Ms. Robin**? Thanks.

Actually, any kind of gote will do.

I’m single, but I’ll register a sperm cell, if that’ll help.

Say hello to **Q-Sperm 3,093,831,190**!

Hmm. That Doper really is a doper, and then some.

Remember what Nancy said, all you kid and hep cats, don’t do drugs or you’ll end up like **punintentional**.

Apparently you are [considering](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=499007) becoming a parent as well. I can assure you that if you and your partner become parents you will also find things about your child worth commemorating in small and silly ways. God help your child if you are _not_ one of THOSE parents.

Ahh the stumbled upon scenario. Still. It was 6 fucking years ago.

I pit the spanish inquisition! Fucking assholes. Man did I ever tell you how much I hate that Andrew Jackson? Oh oh and Nero! That wanker fiddled while Rome burned they say. Don’t forget Archaeopteryx. Those bastards had to evolve flight so they could crap on our cars.

If he does have a child, at least intelligent posts might start appearing under his username in a few years if the little punner gets ahold of his password.

It occurs to me that somebody stands to make a mint by selling pre-bunched panties–think of the market!

For example, [my cat **Buddy** (NSFW)](http://my.tbaytel.net/culpeperlaw/20061231162110000.jpg) could make more intelligent posts than **Punintentional** , but he does not post because he is only two and a half years old.

That cat has about THE coolest fur pattern I’ve ever seen! He looks like a marble cake! Buddy can post any time he wants, for all of me…

I just registered the sparkle in my husband’s eye.

I’m thinking of registering my hamster. I figure he is part of the in crowd already.

I couldn’t care less one way or the other if some kid is registered, but why not sack the fuck up and mention them specifically in the first few posts. Just because it’s Christmas don’t mean you got to dance around the names like a sugarplum fairy.

I think **Intentionally Dumb** thought it was just one example of a common occurrence here. Since he’s [del]an idiot[/del] new, he can perhaps be excused for his ignorance.

Why, thank you ma’am! _curtsies_

I’ve considered encouraging my twelve year old grandson to sign up here but now that I see I’d’ve exposed myself to the wrath of the OP I’m ever so glad I didn’t. My, he’d be miffed at that, to be sure… Maybe he needs to change his username to “Miffy Mittens” on account of that would be awesome! Not to mention a stellar example of “truth in advertising.”

I always thought it was traditional to pit Baby Jesus on Christmas Day, not Baby Doors.

Unless the Doors’ have a very special secret that they’re not letting on

Uh-uh. Doors ain’t Joseph, my name ain’t Mary, and there was no Immaculate Conception.
