I’m from overseas. And I study snails. So stretching the figuratively speaking term, its true.

The next Doper gets overly excited at the sound of someone eating a crunchy apple.

Only if it’s me making the sound, and usually only if the apple in question is a nice tart Granny Smith.

TND is currently on at least one prescription medication.

False. I find them very useful for conveying subtleties (sarcasm, good will) that are often lost through this text-only medium. They beat the hell out of “LOL,” that’s for damn sure. 🙂  
TND regularly posts to at least one message board other than the SDMB.
