Yep, it’s almost September again. You know, September, 1939 was when Germany invaded Poland. September is also when a great many people get brand new computers, just in time for school. Some of them visit the SDMB for the first time. Welcome all of you! I wouldn’t want to compare the “invasion” of the SDMB by perky new students with Hitler’s invasion of Poland because, well, it’s a clear invocation of [Godwin’s Law](http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/Godwin's-Law.html). Some variations of Godwin’s Law claim that the first party to compare something or someone with the Nazis automatically loses the argument. I wouldn’t want to negate the very premise of this thread. As it is, it’s probably going to die a quick death anyway. Furthermore, it would only encourage my new live-in exchange student, **Goebbels’ Gerbil**. He’s going to be borrowing my computer from time to time. Say hi, GG. _ **Goebbels’ Gerbil says:** _ _Fucking Nazis! Fascists, too! I love you all! Come to me and be mein little Nazibuttbrethren! Adolf Hitler is the perfect analogy! Let us glory in the invocationen of his name! H-I-T-L#$^79ij,piuj_ All right, enough of that, you little bastard. Why don’t you go back to watching the History Channel? See, that’s the thing. Goebbels’ Gerbil just _loves_ it when the Nazis are invoked, because not only does it sour virtually any debate, it also serves to lessen the monumental evils committed by the Nazis. GG is all over that like Otto Skorzeny on the Gran Sasso. So let’s all be careful out there, newcomers and mean old cusses alike. Let’s be careful about who we are comparing to whom. Otherwise, GG is going to be posting all over the place. I, for one, promise to be more careful in the future. ---

_ **Goebbels’ Gerbil replies:** _ Ampere-hour, **MisterEcks** and otheren. I am thus glad, could connect you mine fish roast little. They see that my plan operates perfectly. A casual search of the Large Debates shows me only one egregious example of the use of our Fuhrer this day past, which is used in such a way in the classical manner Godwinian. But I expect, which increases soon. As soon as it daily will have Hitler compared with the average parking measuring instrument companion, unleash I my victory weapon. I with a nice Australian companion spoke, who is designated Rupert, which is interested in a documentary, which I penned, permitted “Did the Allied Gain World War II?” I assemble the photographic proof, while we speak. That is everything, which I can say for now, but I leave you with this haiku: To come in the times, If memory Hitler verb-lets, Whom is it to replace? ---

Britons! Ask your Admiralty–where is the _Ark Royal_? "The Yanks are ‘Lease-Lending’ your women. Their pockets full of cash and no work to do, the boys from overseas are having the time of their lives in Merry Old England. And what young woman, single or married, could resist such handsome brute from the wide open spaces to have dinner with, a cocktail at some night-club, and afterwards… Anyway, so numerous have become the scandals that all England is talking about them now. Most of you are convinced that the war will be over in four months. Too bad if it should hit you in the last minute!" ---
