I dunno. Most of the offerings have already been sacrificed to my tummy.
You’ll have to come over to get the last.
(by the way, ‘insert winking, flirting smiley’)
You’re talking to Kythereia. Winking and flirting is sort of a given, isn’t it? :dubious:
Wow, you people are fabulous!! Thank you for the warm welcome and the wonderful advice.
Whod’ve thunk that a thread on tips on fitting in could be so hilarious?! It was also amusing that when I read the thread, the banner ad was for Democratssuck.com. What did I say to trigger that?!
So now for my first conundrum in posting here. . . how do I reply to everyone here in one post, taking into account featherlou’s advice not to double-post? Let me take WhyNot’s advice and apologize in advance for anyone that I don’t mention here in this post. I really did appreciate your taking the time to post here even if I didn’t have the space to quote it here. I’m sure y’all will tell me if I should have done this post differently.
No problem there. I’m strictly a dog person, so I won’t be starting any threads about cats.
Is apple pie OK?
Do I even wanna know?
Sunspace, thanks for the welcome. You didn’t have to cross off the first description of this place. The two descriptions are compatible, I think.
lissener, your advice sounds pretty generic for most message boards and indeed most arguments in real life, so it must be good advice. Thanks.
Will do. I’m allergic to chocolate, so she can have my share.
Thanks! I was apprehensive about using it and thought a long time about it, so thanks for mentioning it.
Duly noted. And while I would not create an argument with a moderator, especially given Oakminster’s earlier advice, I do want to point out that while tomndeb might be two real persons, Heffalump and Roo might be real, but they aren’t two “persons.” So I’m not really getting two subscriptions like ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies suggests. I wish I were that crafty.
Perhaps it might be funnier to some than others. For instance, it might not be so funny to the one starting the “New here” thread. Oh OK, it was hilarious to me too, but you know what I mean.
bigbabysweets2000, I’ve been bolding. Thanks for the tip.
twickster, thanks for the welcome and I’ll try not to be a jerk from my perspective. That’s not a guarantee for how others will see it, though.
glee and WhyNot have both cautioned me to be prepared to give cites for anything factual, so I’ll keep that in mind. But why is it more credible to link to a webpage that has no more basis to say something than you do?
Dangerosa, I think I’ll take a pass on the pimple thread advice, but I’ll try to take your advice about not taking much here seriously. I tend to be a pretty serious person though.
Inigo Montoya, I won’t make fun of your user name if you don’t make fun of mine.
Uh oh. I may be in trouble here. You see, all my “smart” questions were already answered by real life people who would have looked at me with the “wow, what a whacko!” stare if I had asked my inane and stupid questions to them. So I only have inane and stupid questions to post here, and I’ve been saving them up, so I have quite a lot of them. But I’ll try to take your advice and pace myself if I can. Thanks for the welcome.
If I upgrade, that will be the reason why.
What’s left? 
(using my one and only smiley in this post per featherlou)
Praise Og and the IPU for all the wonderful replies I’ve received here.
…only because we don’t have more animated smileys.
Well…stop sucking.
Applie pie? ears perk up
It should be your ONLY reason, missy!
And again, welcome to a great and amazing timesink.
Well, another hot topic is always declawing of cats (if you take the “I’m in favor of it” side). And be warned, the Fat Police patrol here very heavily. So you can call someone a “goat-felching son of a French whore with questionable hygiene,” but whatever you do don’t call them fat!
Too lazy to quote for a short reply to the long multi-reply. (NOT thinking of a Right Said Fred parody about I’m to lazy for the board, too lazy…)
Anywho…
Any pie is good. From my pespective, Chocolate Pie is gooder. Especially the kind sold at fine establishments such as Picadilly or Morrison’s Cafeteria. Your pie may vary. Hmmm…Variable Pie…
TANSTAAFL=There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. I ripped it from Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (I think). Definitely Heinlein. Maybe wrong about which book.
Something that has been hinted about but not said outright. Becareful with the “in” jokes that have become over used. Such as:
- 1920’s Style Death Ray
- Penis Ensues
- Hi Opal!
- Band Name
- Something about a double headed blue dildo.
- Mariana’s Trench and some undisclosed amount of time.
There’s several more and you can read about them in a sticky.
They have their place, just be sure you’re in the right place when you use them.
Well, ideally, you won’t choose some site that has no more basis to say something that you do! We can judge a websites credibility - we can’t judge yours. Cites like peer-reviewed articles are good. WebMD is generally accepted for med questions
:smack:
OH! The mods really frown on asking for medical advice on the boards. It’s not something I personally agree with, but there it is. (Personally, I think if medical questions are off limits, so should legal, car mechanics, compuer and all other “specialty” practical questions which could cause bodily or legal harm to a stupid person who blindly believes some stranger on the internet rather than seeking professional advice IRL.) You can ask a general question like, “What are people’s experiences with Lipitor?” But not, “Why is my arm numb and tingly?”
Basically, we don’t know who you are. You could be the Pope, but we don’t know that and you can’t prove it. So any factual answer about the Catholic church doctrine should be back-upable by a reputable source. It you post on here long enough and without obvious contradiction, we’ll probably loosen up a bit and accept you are who you say you are. (That’s why some people, like Qadop the Mercotan, can get away with posting information and no one asks for a cite - he’s been around for ever and most of us believe he’s who he says he is, namely, a medical doctor working in a prison in Wisconsin. He knows just about everything there is to know about general practice medicine, Tolkien and aged cheddar cheese, so he won’t be challenged there. Surfboarding, however, and he’d better be prepared with cites - it’s outside his acknowledged area of expertise.)
Gah. Apple. See how excited I was?
Ketchup is goooood on hot dogs, you damn moron. Oops, no name-calling outside the The Pit. There’s another good rule.
Let me rephrase that: Ketchup is gooood on hot dogs, you poor misguided soul.
If you come to a Mid-Atlantic DopeFest, danceswithcats will be the one with the bottle opener hanging around his neck. He’s not quite as scary as some people would have you think.
twickster will be the one in a tiara. She’s very nice.
Be good looking
Be attractive
Don’t be unattractive
No, no, you don’t understand, listen to me. Ketchup contains chemicals that react with the skin of the hot dog that alter your brain chemistry to make you think you like ketchup on hot dogs, and if you eat enough if the psychotropic nature of the reaction becomes permanent. You’re just one of them, now. But H&R is a new, pure soul. There is time yet to prevent another loss to the Great Ketchup Conspiracy!
JUST SAY NO TO VISCOUS RED GOO ON YOUR WEINER!
I’m with ya, buddy. Even worse than the ketchup-philes are the people that shower their hot dog (or worse, pizza) with many many condiments/toppings. Then the hot dog/pizza ceases to be about the hot dog/pizza and more about the condiments and toppings.
I mean, really, if you’re getting 7 toppings, why not melt some cheese in a bowl, thro the toppings in it, toss it in the oven, and have a breadstick with it?
This post is just begging for a nostalgical tangent…
That quote is from memory. Ah to be a wee neural sponge again…
I just have to say, though it has been said many times previously, YouTube rocks. Especially for those of us who are curious as to the accuracy of our fading memory…
So I gotta few parts wrong… Don’t make me come back there and sing the Monchichi jingle!
Ooh. I remember parts of the Monchici jingle.
That’s some “talent” there, I tells ya.
Can you sing another one?
Let me guess. You’re one of those sickos who puts sauerkraut on hot dogs, aren’t you?
: barfing smilie :
I hate sauerkraut.
Ketchup and onions on my wieners. That is all. 
What does your significant other say about your putting veggies on his weiner?
We might as well come clean about this; a couple of surprisingly heated discussion topics are also taking your shoes off in the house, and ordering milk in a bar. You can discuss these topics if you like, but go in forewarned. I wish I were kidding, but I’m not.
