You rang? Allow me to serenade you: Did Cecil, do you think, foresee Way back in 1973 Just where the Straight Dope would proceed? What highways, byways, fruit and weed Would burgeon in his column’s wake? Who woulda thunk it? No mistake: The Straight Dope board is quite a town Of wit and wisdom, sage and clown. So post your screed! Keep up the pace! And don’t forget the :)!! It’s got a good beat; **Lobsang** can dance to it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jaade \* > \*\*Silly boy, I don’t wear underpants! \*\* Cool! 🙂 If I weren’t IMing with my ex right now, I might have to verify… Um, did I type that in the right window? :eek: We had fun at the fair. I don’t know what to think now because my other ex (the stripper) is talking to me about going out again, and I still have feelings for her, too. I guess I’ll just string them both along until it all ends in a horrible and very hurtful mess. **Lobsang** ’s mother is a teapot. ---

I didn’t think so. Anyway, I’m here now, if a few posts late - I spent yesterday curled up on my sofa reading Vikram Seth’s “A Suitable Boy”. It is one long book… **sperfur** ---

Gaaarrr. I’ve just spent over an hour trying to teach my mum how to use MSN messenger so she can talk to me at uni. OVER AN HOUR. She keeps asking me stupid questions, like “How do I use it if I’m not on the internet?” and “What happens if I press the Caps Lock?”. I need some crisps. **Angua**. ---

My dad still has trouble with “that mouse thing” so you can only imagine how excited I’ll be when Dad progresses to the MSN stage. **fizzy**. ---

Oh yes, the good old days of explaining that the left mouse button and right mouse button do different things and you shouldn’t simply mash the mouse mindlessly with your fist. And don’t get me started on the mouse wheel. **sperfur** ---

Bwahaha! My dad is a computer techy god. He tells _me_ things I didn’t know about computers. My mum on the other hand, can’t even operate basic functions on a mobile phone, for example, calling someone, or hanging up after a call. **green\_bladder** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predict-the-next-poster/198832.md?page=72) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predict-the-next-poster/198832.md?page=74)
