Welcome, MaWm! Don’t mind yer kid, there. Y’see, Cecil Adams and the Straight Dope are basically twisted but always honest sources for answers; no bullshit, usually funny but always reliable.
The folks who gather around this place are another matter. As a greater mind put it, “we put the ‘fun’ in ‘dysfunctional’”. Hey, truth ain’t pretty.
You are obviously a superlative mom, so you don’t want to clap your son upside the head. Don’t worry; we’ll do that for you! ::smack!!::
Now sit up straight! And don’t chew with your mouth open. Seekers are always welcome. Think we’re snobs?! ::smack::
HA! Fuggedaboudit. Read the columns and the archives. It’ll all make sense–sort of–pretty soon.
Welcome, Dz! And don’t pay attention to techchick when she disses herself. She’s a nice girl with a good job. Comes from a good family; has real nice teeth. What more can a boy want?
Welcome, Dzdmona! Any friend of Sam’s is a fr…oops! I mean, any friend of GaWd’s is a friend of mine! (You know kids, they always want you to use their little nicknames when you talk about them around their friends!)
Well, thank you all for the warm welcome! Am I to be the chaparone around here?
TechChick, all kidding aside, it’s very hard being GaWd’s MaWm. You have no idea! He keeps me running hard all day long, bringing him wine, peeling his grapes, tying his shoes…oy! I could go on forever!
But power? Nooooooooooooooo! Not one bit! He keeps all the glory to himself! And for this, I went thru all the trouble of an immaculate birth! And does he appreciate??? No! Just takes the chance to quote MaWm without her knowledge!
But now that that’s all said…he’d be a great catch! And I’m sure he’ll father darling babies! (He’s gonna kill me)
Gotta love it. A high-minded, low-cunning Mom on the board, reading the nonsense and shootin’ the breeze better’n any 3-speed reversible fan on the market.
Damn Skippy; experience, endurance and untold wealth of knowledge, all offered up in finest style.
::gloating:: young whippersnapper knows the technology but thinks he knows the world better?! Pshaw.
We’re talking grandbabies here…applicants to the left.
Hi MaWm! Nice to meet you. You’ve got a very sweet son there, which speaks very well for you and how you raised him. (How’s that for kissing up?) He doesn’t seem to know I exist, though, so maybe you could put in a good word for me?
Pay no mind to the nekkid twister party Wally’s throwing me for my 1000th post. I’m really a timid, virginal creature. (But feel free to join us - we’re having a blast! :eek: )
Welcome to The Straight Dope, GaWd’s MaWm (and maybe some day, mine. ;))!

I’m not sure what high-minded, low-cunning is, but I can blow hot air as well as any fan out there!
