It was Anastasaeon. [Here’s the thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wow-a-kind-warning-to-olestra-phobes/282805), post #2.
That was 16 dang years ago. _sigh_

Thanks for finding that. And it’s reminded me of one of my favorites which is the board deity, Og!
Perhaps I’m childish and silly (OK, I know I’m childish and silly) but I have always loved Og.

I did no such thing. You are searching for something that’s not there. I considered her a friend. We shared a lot of off-board talks about art. She knew she was polarizing, it wasn’t like it was a secret.

I stand corrected.
In my world _polarizing_ is not considered a term of endearment.

Fair enough.
Reading this thread prompted another memory.
There was that that guy that ended half of his sentences with, _and shit_. He had a strange username. That guy was funny as all get out.
Damn, my memory is for shit these days.
And, yes, I believe it was old scratch. 😉

Superkapowzer?
And Opal _was_ polarizing, and I don’t mean that as a term of endearment. Buckeyes, y’all

Ah, yes. Who could forget her anti-buckeye rant?
And who was it, who ejaculated into his fish tank? Said his fish loved it. Was that the same person who talked about pan-fried semen?

“When come back, bring pie” was from the flash animation series Weebl and bob and was all over the internet.

Thanks I was trying to remember the name of the series but as usual my memory is total crap at unprompted recall.
But one SDMB thang which has grown up and [left home](https://www.toyota-4runner.org/1216259-post16.html?s=e22e79c2088f8868d6785d5a84d6e3bb) is Gaudere’s Law.

I remember back in the day when there used to be a Dope-fest somewhere in the world nearly every weekend. The one that Coldfire organized in Amsterdam was really good.

A tribute, I assume, to the [“I burning your dog” thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-rock-in-the-box-i-burning-your-dog/193808/17).

Can anyone remember the thread in which a doper canonized all comers? Who was it?
I recall being granted the title: _St. QuickSilver_ - _a mercurial fellow; patron saint of thermometers._

Manny Peoples, aka @ZSPhobiaSZ. I see he dropped the idiosyncratic “manny” at some point between departing AOL and finding us on vB.
