Well I got this idea from something I said in another thread. I dunno how well it will work, but hell nothing I do works right anyway. The idea is to pick a poster and post in that poster’s style - whether it be by content, “posterisms”, or catch phrases. We’ll try to guess who it is you’re imitating. An example: ::runs through thread nekkid:: Might bring the guess of **iampunha**. OK? OK. That’s not my imitation. But this OP is an imitation of someone, in a way. Let’s go! TellMeI’mNotCrazy Of course, this idea probably won’t work at all. ---

**TellMeI’mNotCrazy** (you loon) is imitatiing **Tripler**. And now: It could be fun. If enough dopers put some thought into how some dopers tend to post. Regards swampbear ---

(knee jerk) This is insane! What were these people thinking? The neocons will stop at nothing to cause distrust and dissent. Bushco prove themselves to be total degenerates with this thread idea. I personally blame Karl Rove and the rest of the pubbie “mind”-trust for this debacle. They must be stopped! (knee jerk) ---

Of course you can just imitate **Swampy** by talking about beer, cookies and burly men. 🙂 \*Dang! On preview **CandidGamera** has beaten me to the punch! Oh, and I think that **TellMeImNotCrazy** just did **Mangeorge**! ---

“What would Joan Crawford do?” - Is that **Eve** again? I don’t believe in cites. They come from a fantasy world. Where I’m being stalked, although I have two wives and no-one on this board is kind and I’m pitiful. 😉 ---
