Omigod. OgreUrge is back!
huh?
Umm, either you chew jawbreaker candies like they always say you’re not supposed to, or you have a lot of braces on your teeth. Where’s my marmalade?
I’m new … have no clue what MPSIMS stands for but I took it to mean Military Police Sometimes Investigate Messages Sent. But, I could be wrong … 
those are both right, but neither of them is correct. so technically your marmalade is still my marmalade.
Try again. It’s not like there are that many options.
your jaw was broken severely and you have a pice of a steel screw implanted.
or you like giving robot head.
anyway, seriously. I’m not a complainer by nature. if i screw up, i screw up. i don’t like the shift key and many hae called me to task for it, but i have just let it go.
obviously this guy (gal?) (I’ll put my money on guy) has a weird sense of humor, and a different skew on things. I can’t stand when a bunch of SD’s jump on somebody and pull them apart just because they didn’t use smileys or something (n.b.- i am NOT talking about drainthelizard!!!). be gentle, fellow dopers. be gentle.
steeljaw, i have not exhibited troll-like behavior (as defined by some anal posters) but i have f-ed up incredibly. i think manhatten has a special file for me by now. anyway, enjoy the board. i like you. just because a few people ride your ass like a regualar lougainis doesn’t mean you should get defensive (which you haven’t). this board is fun and educational. think of the really insistent anti-you posters as the smart guys in class who felt that the educational agenda should be set to their personal peccidillos. but realize that they are good and funny people, with a lot to say.
hold no grudges!
Can’t hold a grudge … my hands are too small.
Thanks j.b. and blind
'preciate it.
oh and jb you are right on the money with the jaw thing.
your marmalade is in the mail.
**How about “regular stuff that not general stuff, nor barbeque hot, nor really a debate or about Cecil”
That’s RSTNGS-NBH-NRADOAC for short.**
I believe the medical term for the condition he is describing is loadacrappia. I currently suffer from masturbatilosis, that means I have an uncontrollable urge to masturbate, it’s not cuz I enjoy it or anything, good God no, but I can’t control myself but I’m like a horny monkey at the zoo. I’ve tried explaining that as the reason for my porn movie and magazine collection it to my GF, but she thinks I’m just making it up.
ooooooooooohhhh,
loadacrappia
it all makes sense now.
Tech mex, that’s a great idea. But in the last 36 hours I’ve learned that if you have an opinion about the SDMB and try and show that to other people they will retaliate militantly (especially if you have less than say, 13,348 posts under your belt), so for now, lets just keep our name changing activities confined to our underground sewer lair.
No, jackass, you are welcome to share your opinions. Of course, if your opinions are “Your moderator sucks and the name of this forum sucks and I want to take over the Board,” your opinions won’t make you any friends. No matter how many posts you have.

A neighbor’s 15-year-old comes over to my house. I invite him in. The first words out of his mouth are, “Geez, whereja get the crappy-lookin’ drapes?” Then he says, “Is there any beer in this joint?” and when I say no, we don’t drink, and besides, I wouldn’t give a teenager beer, he says, “What are you, some kind of religous fanatics?” Then he asks what the dog’s name is, and when I say, “Daisy”, he says, “That’s a stupid name for a dog.”
At this point, I throw him out. He goes home and complains to his mother, “Geez, I was down at Duck Duck Goose’s house just now, and I said maybe a couple words about her dog, and she retaliated militantly! It’s because I’m only 15–if I’d been a grownup, she’d never have tried it.”
No, actually, if he’d been a grownup, I’d have thrown him out after his remark about the drapes, but I cut him some slack because of his youth.
Point taken? [insert smilie with elegantly raised inquiring eyebrow]
P.S. Don’t whine. If there’s anything we hate worse than a jackass, it’s a jackass who whines.
P.P.S. But strictly speaking, you aren’t a jackass just yet, just a mope. If you persist, however, then you will be qualified as a full-dress jackass. A word to the wise, 'kay? 
Ummmmm, Jackass, the pit is calling.
I think you’d better tone it down a LOT. Or else find or found your own board.
If you want to found your own board, I’ll point you in the direction of vBulletin or Infopop (UBBS) software.
If you can’t control yourself on this board (and I’m talking about the whole Straight Dope board, not just MPSIMS), don’t post at all.

kaaaCHIIINNNGGG!!
And the lovely Lynn Bodini slaps his steeljaw right outa da ring.
:: cheers and applause ::
later, Tom
I was going to suggest that we wire the jaw to be a very large electromagnet. Every time something started to venture forth that was inappropriate, a simple flick of the switch and ka-chung – instant silence. (Of course this plan had certain pitfalls, like the jaw being too close to a navy destroyer, the George Washington Bridge, or a '66 Dodge Coronet, but I was willing to risk it.)
Then we see the subtle application of REAL power. (Lynn must have a way with kids!)
Thanks Lynn.
steeljaw – put another way, MPSIMS is for sharing fun.
My guess about your name is that you used to be SteelToes and assorted alter egos and couldn’t resist giving us all a clue about your return.
First of I know I’m even more of a newbie than you are but that is precisely why I feel I’m qualified to talk to you in this frank, honest, all kidding aside manner. Also it is possible I may know a little more about human nature than you.
The most important thing I ever learned is–every behavior has a reason.
OK the first rule in playing nicely is that when people feel they are being attacked unfairly, they will usually let you know LOUDLY and FIRMLY.
Second, although no person receives a formal invitation to join this group of members, make no mistake, there is a sort of probationary period needed to build the level of trust that is required before the new kid stops being just that and becomes one of the group.
Third, it is entirely possible to make a lucid point without resorting to verbal assault.
So take a breath, calm down, think, reflect. I know you are witty, show me what else you’ve got. I like you. On the other you could just tell me to fuck off, who asked you and I’d think I got what I deserved for offering well-meaning but unsolicited advice.

Mouth full of braces?
DING DING DING DING!!!
I bet that’s it! Now I do not feel so bad for hating this guy!!! Thanks for the heads-up Wahoo.
BTW, are you Chief Wahoo McDaniels or a fan or something? I have an autographed picture of some wrestler from the 80’s. That was his name IIRC.
