I just stumbled onto SDMB. Would appreciate the inside “dope” you think I need to know.
Just reading over some posts would be a good first start.
You would also be well advised to look at the “sticky” threads at the top of each forum; that will give you some guidelines for each area.
While the rules are fairly consistent across the board, each forum has little individual wrinkles in it, because the content in each is different and is handled differently.
Just look things over. Don’t be afraid to ask questions; the only stupid question is the one not asked.
Hope your time here at the Straight Dope is enjoyable. Let me know what we can do to make it so.

What’s that dangly thing between my legs?

It’s probably a mole. You should see a doctor about having it removed.

Especially if it gets bigger, changes colors, turns black, or becomes assymetrical.
Don’t use Lobsang as a role model here, unless you like ridicule?
I am the birthday queen.
That’s all you need to know.
We don’t have the inside dope. We search for truth (the straight dope). Our Perfect Master is Cecil Adams. In your search for wisdom, you might start with his column on the question of whether or not a duck’s quack echoes.
There should be somebody running nekkid through the thread any minute now.
No running naked in this forum! Running naked belongs in…ah… um… er … in Mundane Pointless Stuff You Must Share.
If this wasn’t ATMB, I’m sure iampunha would take Ethilrist up on that. 
I’m pretty sure that iampunha’s stuff is neither mundane nor pointless.
Cite!?
Cite for sore eyes … ?
TubaDiva!
Never knew you this kind of sense of humor.
This is hilarious.
Ouch. This is bad. Bad, bad, bad. Hang your head in shame…
