You people are nice and all and there’s some serious potential amongst you here but you are operating on a whole different level of intellect and snark. I for one am a little alarmed that a Shopping Channel Discussion is going to be at the top of SDMB but I guess that’s democracy, so carry on.
They’ve apparently been in a terrible place where they’ve had to be all super-nice or get their threads deleted. Sounds hellish. No wonder they’re all nice and sweet and careful.
Give them a bit of time, and I bet we’ll corrupt them all good and proper-like.
Besides, just wait til they discover they can PIT some of that QVC crapola.
Can I keep my SDMB cred (assuming I had any) if I admit I will linger on QVC if David Venable is having food related orgasm over caramel covered apples or pre-packaged BBQ? I’m like a moth to a flame.
Good idea, Honey. Some below are also added nics for those you already mentioned
The Frau, Trevor’s mom - Jill Bauer
Jane Ego Elf, Tiny Dancer, JRT - Jane Treacy
Droopy Dog, Homewrecker - Kirsten Lundquist
School marm - Mary Beth Roe
Our Shawn, Poo, Shawnie Sue BooHoo / No clue or any combination of these things - Shawn Killinger
Miss Southern Simper, Miss Stars and Garters, anything about being sickly sweet or corn pone, but fake “southern gal”-Albany Irvin
That’s all I can think of for hosts…the rest usually we just call their real names pretty much, I think.
There are more for vendors, too. Can’t think ATM, except
Dotty, The Grater, The Driedel, Kooky Crazy - Susan Graver the Q’s “exclusive designer!”
What pisses me off is one minute they’re your buddy… the next they’re changing the rules mid-stream, and HOW DARE YOU question their authority and even propose a discussion or clarification on the subject. Absolute Rule! Are they North Korea, or what?
I was joking about “everybody duck;” that’s why I put the winking icon after it. The truth is that we’re still feeling shell-shocked about the mods over there dropping pianos on our heads for no good reason.
