**Eureka** is using homonyms, not sure if there’s more to it than that. And I have no idea where to even start with **OneCentStamp** – you seeing any patterns there, **dotchan**? ---

Anyone know any good variations of “hello”? ---

[QUOTE=twickster] And I have no idea where to even start with **OneCentStamp** – you seeing any patterns there, **dotchan**? [/QUOTE] I’ve got a week, so I’m just trying to poke and prod for now rather than guess. Although I may be steamed if **OCS** got a PM that said “Be **bbs2k** ” when he was in high school. Because that’s how I’d peg him so far. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=twickster] And I have no idea where to even start with **OneCentStamp** – you seeing any patterns there, **dotchan**? [/QUOTE] I’m doing my honest best here. I would hate for you to think of me as a poor guest. Would you like me to go to the car and get my Sir Mix-a-Lot CD? That always livens up a party. _36-24-36? Only if she 5’3"!!!_😛 Words to live by. ---

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] So by “vitamin jar,” do you mean that the jar _contains_ vitamin supplements, or that the jar _itself_ boasts some kind of nutritional value? [/QUOTE] Errr…umm… well… I guess it’s what’s in the jar why don’t they ever tell us important stuff like that but I’ll look at this small writing yes! It’s what’s inside! Look at this incredible list of ingredients! ---

[QUOTE=dotchan] (Host Notes: Malcandra’s Britishness, travelogue of exotic locations, taste for dangerous predators, and unusual wardrobe seems to suggest that he is/thinks he is Steve Irwin. I’m confident enough in this to hazard a guess sometime today. Kat’s quirk does look similarly nailed, but I want to wait for an official mod word on the tally before I use my guess for her. Blaster looks like he might be referencing other people’s posts in some way - he’s been using the same turn of phrase as some of the other guests, but I can’t quite narrow it down yet.) **Diomedes** , may be have an official count of who’s already been guessed correctly and/or incorrectly? [/QUOTE] Isn’t that rather rude to talk of others when we’re here. Doesn’t anyone here have an idea of what it is to be polite? I’m sure your mother is distraught by this outrageous behavior. Surely, she’d be shamed. ---

[QUOTE=twickster] **Kat is using (or referring to) the name of a Doper in every post**. \<– official guess [/QUOTE] While twickster is correct, I’m afraid I’m going to need more specificity in an answer than that. twickster can no longer guess on **Kat**. Correctly guessed: **Anaamika** : must use each successive character above the number line in successive posts. **dotchan** **Purplkid\_Caterer** : has a tendency for using hackneyed cliches. **twickster** **Zoggie** : is an Advice Columnist **dotchan** Incorrectly Guessed: Kat: twickster Unguessed: Malacandra Eureka PriceGuy BlasterMaster OneCentStamp Taber featherlou fachverwirt Aesiron DiggitCamera (possibly Idle Thoughts. I sent him a quirk, but he may not show up for this round) ---

I’m sure your mother is distraught by this outrageous behavior. Surely, she’d be shamed. [/QUOTE] My apologies, would you rather we spoke of you behind your back? I kid, I kid. We’ve been terrible hosts, haven’t we? Perhaps you could help me entertain some of the other guests. (Host notes: Diggitcamara sounds like a newbie/unscrupulous salesman. _EDIT_ And since Diomedes has mod-ruled about twickster’s guess, I’m thinking that her specific quirk might be that she has to reference the Straight Dope’s administrators and mods. But I think we should poke at her a few more times to confirm this. We are down one guess on her, after all.) That’s an impressive list of ingredients there, Diggitcamara. Other than vitamins, are you offering any other products? ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] Anyone know any good variations of “hello”? [/QUOTE] Plenty… “hi” or “yo” if you’d want to be informal “how’s it hangin’?” is what I’d consider saying to my buds “good morn’” or “good evenin’” work if it is time suitable Plus th’ good ol’ Australian greetin’: “Good’ay” possibly appended with “mate” If you’d want some nonenglish ones, you’d have to seek your answer from some person that isn’t me. ---

I’m hungry, damnit! I’d even be cheerful to help bake some cake if we don’t have it. Do ya’ have some eggs or milk or whatever ingredient we need to bake cake? Pastry chef…? Haha, I’m hardly even able to cook canned soup. ---
