Yeah, I wasn’t sure about it either, but you’ve been doing a great job with it. I esp. liked your Star Trek post, as I said to you via PM.

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 (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.

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!)

I’ve thrown Daphne was off haven’t I? 
LHoD, have you mentioned Rio by Duran Duran?

Antinor, are you Bob Barr? Shot in the dark here, but all those political terms, along with references to liking red berries and being a dark horse candidate, make me wonder.

Sorry, the way you were talking, I thought yours was that you had to mention Straight Dope in jokes and stuff.

It is – I gave it to him because he’s a ‘99er – I had no idea he was going to come up with these baroque scenarios, though. Funny freakin’ stuff.
And LHOD – I’m petty enough to take credit for Inner Stickler’s “zoo” post – s/he was struggling and asked for some help. If anyone else wants to write a few posts for her/him (sorry IS, I don’t know your gender), throw 'em in here … after the standard 10 lins of blah-blah, of course.

Inner Stickler writes sentences in which the words are all in alphabetical order. Here’s the one I wrote for him/her:
I like mincemeat pie. But enough pie talk! Let’s talk zoos. I like monkeys, rhinos, wombats, zebras. Aardvarks and camels too. Not penguins, though. Anyone else have opinions?

I think mentioning Rio by duran Duran is an in-joke around here. There’s also that 1920’s style deathray thing.

I’m definitely having fun with it. Other than the pavilion one, have you caught them all?
It’s a horribly mean red herring. I love it!
Justin, I’ve never heard of the Rio thing on the Straight Dope. Is it common in Cafe Society or something?

Yeah, I think so.
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?

asked: It’s the 18"DHIBJD Which expands out to 18" Double-Headed Ice Blue Jelly Dildo (ETA: Which is not among those things that chain mail protects against…)
BTW, twicks, are you as amused as I am to see that I’d been pegged as a tourist?

It’s an 18" ice blue jelly dildo and 14 k of g in afpd.

Drat. DaphneBlack is far too observant. Braces for the falling hammer.

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. Anything to my paparazzi theory, Otaku?
