Hi there, I just signed up here and if I made this topic in the wrong forum I apologize. I was just wondering if there was any search function to look up threads/topics on this forum. It would be usually be on the top next to UserCP, Rules, Members etc. but I can’t seem to find it here.
Any help is appreciated. Again, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Thanks! 
Costs ¢. To use search you have to become a paying member.
Sorry, didn’t mean to be culturally insensitive. When I said “Costs ¢.” I meant
“Costs $ or ¢ or £ or ¤ or ¥ or ৲ or ৳ or ฿ or ៛ or ﷼ or ₠ or ₡ or ₢ or ₣ or ₤ or ₥ or ₦ or ₧ or ₱ or ₨ or R or s or ₩ or ₪ or ₫ or € or ₭ or ₮ or ₯ or ₰.”
For the time being the Straight Dope Message Board is still a subscription based board and the search function is a privilege of subscription.
We hope you enjoy your time here.
So long as you don’t have a shopping list, I’ll merrily do a search for you.
I can believe you’d do a search for a guest, but, really, “merrily”? Seriously? I mean, how do you propose to us that you’re actually “merry” as you’re going about it? Would you be willing to have someone videotape you searching and then post it on YouTube and link it so we can be sure you’re doing it merrily, and not just desultorily? 
Who says he has to be merry? Maybe he’ll do the search in the style of somebody named Merrill.
Hmmm. Possible. I’d just like some clarification, here.
Then he would do it “Merrill-ly”.
I know that if I had to do a search for someone else, I would resent every second of it. In all of my posting days, I can’t remember ever doing anything merrily. Is it true that evolution selects for grumpiness? As a species, are we becoming more ill-tempered?
I don’t think you’re right about that. It’s just that no one around here gets to be an administrator/moderator unless they have a very high irritability score. So, no, it’s not the species of homo sapiens. It’s Dope mods/admins.
And just what the hell do you mean by that?
I kid, I kid.
But Arnold Winkelried is not a mod – though he has a name which suggests that he ought to be!
But he was, right? Right?
Yes, Arnold is a former moderator. And a fine one, I should add.
Yes, but in my moderator days, I disguised my peevishness with a beaming and carefree countenance. In those days, people used to remark on the uncanny resemblance between me and this smiley 
I was often referred to as Slappy (short for slap-happy).
A fine former moderator? Hmmm… Like what people sometimes say about Jimmy Carter - he’s a much better ex-president than he ever was a president? Off to the Pit!
Pitting yourself, Arnold? Is that just to beat the Xmas rush??
Hahaha! ha. Now you too are on my list, DSYoungEsq - my hit list!
