I didn’t get to see the whole thing, because a couple of Canadians opened up a jar of moths in the theater . . . and it ruined the whole damn thing. ☹ Tripler I hear the reviews are awesome, though! ---

**Annie-Xmas** modestly peeks in the door, goes back into the hallway, takes deep breath, walks in, looks around, runs back out, starts down hallway, decides “What the fuck?” goes back in, and belts off-key: Did a quick search on Google Searching Eagle’s words “Warm smell of colitas” The phase sounds absurb. Coming up on the blank screen I saw an interesting link I positioned the mouse over it And I clicked in a blink. Well, it was the Internet And you never can tell I was thinking to myself: This could be Heaven or this could be Hell I registered as a “Guest” The link showed me the way. There were theads all over the page Thought I heard them say: Hey! Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards Cecil Adams’s place (Cecil Adams’s place) Hang out in Cyberspace Plenty of threads on the Straight Dope Message Boards Any time of year (Any time of year) You find Dopers here. Her name is Lynn Bondini She takes care of the Pit She tells people to bring chocolate And then they can say “shit.” How they post at the Straight Dope And scream for a cite Some posters are real jerks. Most are really bright. So I started a new thead About wasting my time. They replied: We’ve had the same people here Since 1999. And still those damn threads are calling from far away Make you post in the middle of the night just to hear them say: Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards Cecil Adams’s place (Cecil Adams’s place) Hang out in Cyberspace We’re posting all day on the Straight Dope Message Boards It’s a crying shame (It’s a crying shame) Come get your Doper name. All of the posters here We have a secret vice: We are all just prisoners here Of our own device. And in Cafe Society They talk of arts and feasts And in the Great Debates they scream Over who’s the Bible’s Beast. Last thing I remember I was clicking With my left and my right hand. I had to find the passage out Before I found myself banned. “Relax” said TubaDiva. “The computer’s programmed to receive You can logout anytime you like But you will never leave.” ---

::Bows humbly:: ::Takes Annie’s hand and bows again:: Annie that was fantastic! Thank you all. You are all very kind. I wanted to use my 1K post to thank everybody. And I mean EVERYbody. Those who made me laugh, those who made me think, even those that made me shake my head and say wtf. Really. It’s everyone here that makes this place what it is. Thanks for the countless hours of amusement, amazment, and some of the most incredible displays of intellect, writing skill, wit and humour on the interweb. Just a quick word regarding the wardrobe and some of the sacrifices that had to be made in the making of this post. I was operating under a tight budget of 20,000 characters. There simply wasn’t room for excessive wardrobe and special effects. **Skip** , I had to cut your bagpipe number doing **Proper Thread Code** by Steve Earle after I shot the budget in act three with all that pyro and laser crap. Hell, half the song list had to be scrapped. Songs like… **Behind Closed Threads** _(Charlie Rich)_ **Comfortably Dumb** _(Pink Floyd)_ **Other Site** _(Red Hot Chile Peppers)_ I did what I could. As for the time I spent creating this post, I know I’ll never get that back… But it was a coffee break well spent in my view. Thanks to all of you who replied with all the kind responses and coffee spewing hilarity, you’ll be happy to know the kitties ate today. If my post cracked just one smile, it was worth it. ::sniff:: :😭: [sub]You love me… you really love me…[/sub] Keep the replies coming! Just because it took me almost seven years to get to 1,000 posts, doesn’t mean I’m NOT an attention slut ya know… Take care all. meek ---

> [@meek](#): > > If my post cracked just one smile, it was worth it. Aww, you don’t even\* know\*. I had just finished reading a couple of Pit threads aloud to my husband, when he scowled at me and asked how I could put up with this place. I said, “It’s not all bad, this is the Pit, after all. Let me go to MPSIMS real quick, I’ll show you why I stick around.” This was the first thread we came to. We stood, mouths agape, and high fived each other like little dweebs when we came to the end, laughing hysterically. “I understand now,” he says. “Aye, to be sure,” I said, “So do I.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-the-epic-musical/347312.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-the-epic-musical/347312.md?page=3)
