[QUOTE=Revenant Threshold] I think **LHoD** might be fulfilling SDMB common phrases, but i’m terrible at the guessing side of these games. [/QUOTE] x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x Huh. After your guess, I figured I was gonna be the next one outed, but apparently they’re baffled. Unfortunately, I don’t have too many more catch-phrases lined up; I used a lot of them in the first day or so. Any ideas from the peanut gallery? I’ve not yet referenced “once, in 1960, for 20 minutes.” That one I’ll slip in there somewhere. And I’ve got a fun one coming up in which I express my fond desire for [a cap like the one worn by the woman on the right](http://livedesignonline.com/news/Harold%20MaudeRoad%205x7.jpg) (I figure it’ll give me an aura of authority). I might manage a jackbooted thug reference in there somewhere, and sock puppets may come around. Then I’m tapped out. Daniel Edit: now that I’m remembering the lines of X’s, I want to make a guess of my own: do we have a paparazzi in the house? ( **Inner Stickler** , by the way, I probably spent 10 minutes examining your list of liked and disliked animals searching for a pattern! Curse you–the alphabetizing thing was brilliantly done,and what a red herring!) ---

[QUOTE=Left Hand of Dorkness] **Justin** , I’ve never heard of the Rio thing on the Straight Dope. Is it common in Cafe Society or something? Daniel [/QUOTE] It originally came up in CS – someone asked what the song was with the line about whatever-whatever-whatever, and there was a record-setting simulpost of six or eight people saying the answer was Rio by Duran Duran. Kind of a aside type joke. Other possibilities – there are a couple of acronyms, one of them about an 18" dildo, and the other about the 14 G of Letter Letter Letter thing. Sorry, don’t remember either actual acronym, making them a trifle hard to search for – can anyone else provide more info? ---

x x x xx x x x xx x x xx x **Justin** , is there any significance to your misspellings on the first page (merengue for meringue, baring for barring)? I don’t want to spend half an hour poring over your posts for similar misspellings if they’re just typos. Right now I’m stumped by y’all! Except for the ones I’ve guessed.
