**One** Dope, Two Dopes, Old Dopes, New Dopes

by VegforLife \*(copied and pasted by Jenericho as instructed by the final line \*

On AOL, in cyberspace, there is a most intriguing place. It’s called The Straight Dope Message Board; it’s run by Cecil Adams (fnord).

Do you have a question odd? Care to know if there’s a God? Post it now! Post it here! The Teeming Mil will make it clear.

Want to know if farts explode? Should you float or sink your load? Post it now! Don’t delay! The Teeming Mil will make your day.

Is a fart an upturned belch? Would you, could you, learn to felch? Post it now! Learn the facts! The Teeming Mil are sharp as tacks.

“But it’s not clear,” you just might claim, “Who are The Teeming Mil you name. Are they real? Are they fake? Have they all read ‘Finnegan’s Wake’?”

And that demands an answer, true, So this short list is just for you. The Teeming Millions, quite the crew, Are listed here (at least a few).

A longtime reg is OpalCat, and she thinks UnDeadDude is phat. Sex of every kind she’s had, But she thinks killing cows is bad.

George is Opal’s bitter foe, She thinks his friends are Curly and Moe. He, in turn, thinks she’s just dumb, And wants coyotes to bite her bum.

But that’s not all of George’s schtick, His SuperFlame is really slick! If you with him should disagree, He’ll burn your butt a time or three.

Consider Bob, who argued long, “Murder’s the only capital wrong!” George started his familiar song, “Bob, put away that awful bong!”

Bermuda got in on that debate, and posted statutes that were great. Bob shouted, “Paper Tiger! Bore!” but CyberTwit saw fit to ROAR!

Cyberian, now _there’s_ a fool, he’s posted much, amidst his drool. But all his posts are mostly air, so we ignore him now, that’s fair.

Well, _most_ of us ignore him now, except for Veg, who took a vow: “He has no right insulting Bob! I swear I’ll make him weep and sob!”

But I digress. . . let’s see, who’s next? Ah yes, a smarty, CKDext. He knows his math, he’s in the know, If only he could learn to yo.

Ian’s a musician fine, On evolution he’ll opine. Pat too likes evolution threads, and Disney too – he’s a Pooh-head!

Hyper’s been in Mormon threads, but he’s okay when on his meds. Lileth doesn’t post much now, when she’s sarcastic – Yikes! and Wow!

There’s a bat we know as Kell, for R.E.M. she’d go to hell. Melis, a sweetie, has a spoon, she’s online morning, night and noon.

James thinks oranges are fake, McCafferta thinks James a flake. Alan thinks socialism’s cool, Jon thinks Alan is a tool.

Libby is a spunky gal, I guess that George is now her pal. (Some may wonder at that pair, but Gypsy? “All in love is fair!”)

Then there’s Gus, who likes his guns, and CatsPJs thinks Gus is fun. Steve likes ketchup on his fries, (actually, on _all_ he spies).

Tyler’s got a story to tell, about the stars that knew her well. Lockean knows all that’s true, just ask Stephmon - wait, that won’t do!

Ask Lockean himself instead, he’ll tell you all (since Wilson’s dead). For S & G he’s got a flair (except when spelling “their” or “they’re”).

Pam, Zil, Ron and always Judy, MK, too, and MEB. Look for these on the board most posh (and don’t forget the armored Rosh!).

And finally two who’re right as rain, the goddesses, Jenny and Jane. We sometimes disagree with these, but show respect, if you please.

The Teeming Millions want you here, ask us all, we have no fear. But careful, you might get a flame, if a third “-gry” word you might name.

So join us here! Let’s see your face! On AOL, in cyberspace! For now you have just one small taste; Just don’t forget: Copy and Paste!

Isn’t that from _Lucky_ by Jackie Collins? And if it is, wasn’t it preceded by “Which…”? That book was the first novel I read, at age 11 or 12.

Can’t believe that nobody’s done the Creed song yet…

I’ll just settle for humming it in my head.

One

Affirmative may be justified  
Take from one give to another  
The goal is to be unified  
Take my hand be my brother  
The payment silenced the masses  
Sanctified by oppression  
Unity took a back seat  
Sliding further in regression
