It was suggested I do this in the card room, just to see who would laugh. Would be interesting to know if I’m playing with any Dopers.
Gah. Playing POKER with any Dopers. Leaving that sentence open is just asking for trouble.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
And won’t somebody think of the poor monkey butlers?
I must’ve missed this one. Explain?
Adams helped popularise it in 1997, but it was appears to have originated in 1989, and was already enshrined in 1996.
MysteryDog:
More ancient history. This guy showed up on the board, offering no explanation or backstory, and repetitively created new posts asking us all what we thought of the tow truck industry. At some point I think he said he operated a towing service (in Canada?). And for his sig line, he had “I want to know how people feel about the Tow Truck industry either good or bad and why”, so even when he wasn’t asking about it, he was asking about it. So after awhile, whenever some newbie poster showed up with a really obsessive-compulsive focus on something or other, one of the regs would post in reply “I want to know how people feel about the Tow Truck industry either good or bad and why”.
So, how do people feel about the Tug-Ahoy industry, good or bad, and why?
ducking and running

Oh, and how about “ass, ass, ass, as much as I want” ?
Resurrecting an old one that has died out during the Bush43 era:
On AOL we had a member who would make assertions as to the commonness of some custom or usage by beginning his statement: “Manny peoples [say/do/think]…”
This resulted in the creation of a person named Manny Peoples, who would obligingly provide fake cites for people (in lighthearted, non-serious threads, of course).
This reminds me of a fictitious person created by a stand-up comic who is a good friend of mine.
He (the fictitious guy, not my friend) happens to be the leading scorer in the NBA.
His name is Melvin Totals.
He averages about 105 points a game. He also leads the league in rebounding, assists, FT shooting, fouls, steals, and everything else.
Curiously enough, even though he is such a high scorer he is always listed at the very bottom of the box scores.
And while I’m already in this thread, I will call your (y’all’s? yinz’s?) attention to an attempt to herd together all the Doper in jokes in the thread that is less than a week old:

Your’n’s.
Sure. Like I’m going to accept the word of a southern Nevadan about usage in Pennsylvania!
