There is only one loveable, huggable, smoochable Tymp on the SDMB. All others bearing my name are sad, strange little creatures.

Little Troll, please report to my office for your summary eye poking.

Tymp,

I don’t think anyone was fooled for even a moment. You are much more articulate than that little goat felcher will ever be.

‘Preciate it, Joe. I’m not all that well known around these parts. This thread should help to keep our delightful dopers from making what would be an easy mistake.

I’ve also fired off a message to the divine moderators and administrators regarding this madness.

Aw, **Tymp** , we know better. (But are you really smoochable? ;))

By the way, your first summary of “the experts solve the world’s problems” thread was _hilarious_ - I laughed out loud. Good show!

Don’t worry Tymp, trolls have no sense of humor, you do. You are always easily recognized.

Tymp,

I assure you that you are better known on the board than you think. You are doing great, I think you are an asset to this message board.

Don’t worry about the IdiotImposterTroll. It has no life and so spends it’s time wacking off here. It’s sad really.

Welcome to the club, Tymp.

Take it as a compliment–I think these losers impersonate people who are everything they wish they could be. Unfortunately for them, gutless worms don’t make many fans here except among their own kind. Thus, they pretend to be their betters–maybe someone will briefly think they are real people.

Tymp, just to let you know here, too, that I wasn’t fooled by the imposter in the Kinkade thread. I may be a putz, but I know you’d never call me one!

Well, I’ll be . . . I post this little thread as an alert and it turns into this. Who knew it was this easy to get a little love?

Thank you all for the props and recognition. You’re the bees knees.

This is the Pit, though, so cut it out. You’re makin’ me feel all warm and fuzzy and that’s just wrong for this forum.

Esprix, darling, you’d be surprised how far dinner and a couple bottles of wine will get you these days.

Don’t sweat it, tymp. The Invasion Of The Identity Snatchers isn’t going well. They mimic the real things, but they’re not at all convincing. It’s sorta like distinguishing between, say, the London Symphony Orchestra and a Boogie Bass.

Somehow, any intital confusion doesn’t last long.

The only person on here that would be easy to imitate would be Silent-Bob, and the little troll-fuck even managed to screw that up. :wally

No, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t at all… {heh heh heh}
