That one was fun. Should have been moved to the pit instead of the cornfield.
A summary for those of us who get lost in cornfield mazes?
First time poster starts a thread in GQ asking people to post their passwords so that everybody could look at each other’s accounts. No, he wasn’t more subtle than that. It was like if the Nigerians had dropped the whole “prince” thing and started sending out e-mails saying “I want your money, please give it to me.”
So, did they cornfield the loser as well as his losing post? Part of me hopes they didn’t because it’s always fun to keep a loser around to mock once in a while.
Mild hilarity also ensued.
Yeah, but this one would probably come back and ask people for their Social Security numbers next time.
Sent off to banned camp.
I’m pretty sure that Password Poster was trying to be funny. I could be wrong. His biggest mistake was putting the thread in GQ. I enjoyed the Doper responses.
People would still send them money anyway.
Who wants to bet that Katrice and Robert corrigan are the same poster?
Back in the days when people still used and read the classified ads in the paper (why, yes, I am getting old), people would pay for ads reading “Last chance to send in your dollar” along with an address, and have people send them money. Supposedly the postal inspectors would shut them down, based on it not actually being your last chance to send in your dollar.
And if this is an urban legend, I don’t want to hear it - it’s my favorite “people are dumb” anecdote.
Well that’s stupid.
That’s clearly an activity for Thread Games…
Would that be more like, guess my password by changing 1 character?
Sorry I missed it. But since I did, my password is:
PASSWORD. And it’s case sensitive, so not so easy to guess!!
You should use a zero for the O. That’s what the rest of us do.
eta: Ummm, yeah… can someone cornfield that? I mean, hey, I was just, y’know, kidding. I mean, hilarious, right? Of course. There’s absolutely NO reason to assume that hundreds of us here share a password. See what I did there? A “password”? 
Even if we came up with the idea at the National DopeMeet at Lalapalooza last summer, we’d never actually do it… Nope, just havin’ a chuickle. Like this [chuckley noise]…
Full name and title: Dave Grossman: Gun Nut. For anyone who happens to be a churchgoer, Dave advises that you’d be a fool not to bring your gun. But I think that was just an example; you really should bring your gun everywhere. Dave describes different kinds of holsters – shoulder holsters, ankle holsters – presumably you should wear all of them at the same time, so that you’re festooned with guns like the ornaments on a Christmas tree. A proper gun nut would presumably also have one stuffed up his butt. Otherwise you’re a sheep. Plus, having guns dangling all over identifies you as a stud muffin and attracts the ladies.
So actually – and with appreciation and kudos to El_Kabong – Chuck Jones is far more erudite on the subject of sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs than either Dave Grossman: Gun Nut or andylongino: NRA Member.
Anyone else’s flags raised by this one?
Yikes! How do y’all know? I swear to god I am fooled everytime.
P.S. your second cite thing-y didnt open up.
