q. from new guy

Hi all.
I’m new here, as you may have guessed from the thread title and I just have to ask a question.
Now don’t feel dejected if you can’t answer, because NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS.

In 1960 we visited the deepest part of the ocean. What is the name of this place and for how long did we visit? Did we ever go back?

I look forward to a lengthy discussion on this topic :slight_smile:

Wasn’t that the Trieste? I don’t know much else about it.

Yes…This is what we call flogging a dead horse.

How did this one get started, anyway?

One of the dumber in-jokes we’ve had on the board. Not as bad as death rays or talking like a pirate though.

We need an “I’ve been wooshed” smilie.

If you’re referring to me, I’m a little out of it due to very little sleep and too much vicodin so I’d probably take most anything at face value.

Win some, lose some.

Upon actually rereading the thread and not just the last post, I see you’re probably referring to yourself and not me.

At least you aren’t the only one with egg on your face.

I had egg on my face once. In 1960. For about 20 minutes.
Don’t run the new guy off, y’all! He’s just trying to fit in.

Panjandrum, in-jokes get very mixed reactions on the SDMB. Some people love them, some hate them with a burning rage. Most of us use them from time to time and then let them go. So, don’t be dismayed by the reaction to this thread.

Welcome to the Dope! May all your threads go to three pages.

All except this one, I hope NoClueBoy!
I was only trying to get rid of my reputation as someone on the receiving end of these kind of jokes- a reputation I earnt in 20 minutes, in 1960…

Not many people know that…
