Another {vague stream of consciousness blather} “so what do you think about it?” thread, with (probably) no follow-up, like just about all the others.

He did return to one thread, and his response was more incomprehensible than his OP (I linked to it above). So be careful about encouraging him to reply.

It’s **boffking** , so yes.  
ETA: And he returned to his thread. A rare “treat”.

Of course he completely ignored the only other post in the thread so it’s barely returning, just post banal drip from the OP.

I think I called him early on. I’m glad you now see the wisdom of my wisdom.

Other pings on the radar this week:

**Lance Strongarm** for his forcible anal penetration is not sexual assault [thread=795050]thread[/thread].

**CCitizen** for jumping into yet more threads with his strange fixation about Liberals ending the First Amendment and how men can’t use the First Amendment, but women can, yada, yada. I really go back and forth on the honesty of his beliefs. Internally, does he believe what he says? This week I’m too irritated to care.

I thought Lance was just dumb for a long while. But, yes, the “just asking questions about anal rape” thread definitely hits the trolldar.

Then there’s the odd case of **Shockaholics** , who seems to randomly bump threads with [nonsensical posts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=19391124#post19391124). Take a look at his posting history - it’s just a series of bumped threads.

The linked post above is evidently referring to [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=19136106). If you believe him, he’s a 13-year old with Aspergers. He certainly has…something.

Sure seems incomprehensible, but that thread is spilling over on the 2nd page-- has anyone even asked for a link to the story he’s talking about? That’s the thing I don’t get about this place. How many people are willing to pontificate about something based on “I heard this story…” or “I got this from someone on Facebook” without seeing the source.

I’ve noticed her before. I’m still trying to parse that sentence…

> How is Google going to hide the Islamic terror attack in Orlando to protect Hillary’s presidential bid? A whole page and not one mention of how this is going to affect the election. Obama has made us vulnerable. He has blood on his hands. We were safe under Bush.

Let’s see: Google is going to protect Hillary by hiding news of the attack, because no one gets their news anywhere else. Let alone the rest of that. Yes, potential indeed.

So what’s Bob been up to? Still making music?

(I gave up on him after Newport. I mean, electric guitars are for twangy surf music, not folk.)

I’ve spotted another rookie with potential. He’s mad, he’s bad, he’s **Giraffes Can’t Dance**!

A sampling:

> [@Not angry at all.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/not-angry-at-all/757215/65):
>
> Of course you don’t need a gun. You reside in some safe, lily-white domain, detached from the realities of danger. You’re also an ignoramus of a leftist, too sanctimonious to absorb the meaning of the 2nd amendment.
> 
> As for me:
> 
> I’m a libertarian who’s never owned a gun, nor even held one. I’m from a violent area in Chicago, where the strictest of gun laws have failed to stall the violence. All said laws do is make it hard for the good guys–many of whom are minorities being held hostage in their own neighborhoods–from obtaining guns. And I’ve got a big dick.
> 
> Now get back to your lily-white existence!

I think he could go all. the. way. Off the Board, I mean. He’s really ranting hard straight out of the gate.
