úírgrgghwiofioiuiu _Stops mashing keyboard like a crazy person, composes self, tries again_ As I’m at home (it being night time here) and didn’t have anything else to do this evening I found I was a little unhappy with the lack of any dope. But then I chewed on some electric cable and it was fine. Maybe we should stop objecting to the linking of the name of the place to a drug… ---

I know it’s not my forum, but can I moderate SOMETHING in this thread, please? Maybe change the title or move it to another forum, or ban one of you? One of you has to be a sock, right? I think I’ll add a question mark to the thread title. ---

I think I checked the board status only maybe 75 times today, and posted a few times at the refugee board. Seriously, I kept checking like a monkey in the cocaine experiment. All day long it was hit button, demand satisfaction only someone forgot to top off Mr. Jingles cannister today. ---

Yeah! I’ve been sick all day and slept through most of it, so when I finally dragged myself out of bed - I was met by the board being down! No! You cannot both take away my health and my Dope ☹ ---

No kidding … I had a separate tab open most of the day and refreshed every 15-30 minutes. ---

For crying out loud, I’m afraid I’m addicted. All afternoon, I’m wondering if it’s back up, and one of the first things I think after going to the [doctor’s today](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=498813) is, “I need my dope…” ---

I quit trying the boards at noon and started playing Pandemic 2. Killing all of humankind (virtually) did a nice job of filling the void in my life. And I also caught up on a whole mess of “Ask Cecil” questions on the Straight Dope main page. Oh, and I did a wee little bit of work too. 😃 ---

I Googled the term “straight dope message board” in hopes of finding out something about what was happening. Does that answer your question? ---

LOL, I wouldn’t have noticed on any of the other 51 Tuesdays of this year. But, since I have to work MLK day, I got this day off instead. I wanted to go into the game room and whine about how the Clippers sucked last night. But, no!!! ---

Heh! I got so busy running around with Christmas stuff, I didn’t even notice until very late in the afternoon. Then I refreshed once and everything was back to normal. I had no idea. Any other day, I would have been beside myself. ---
