[The Anonymous Message Server](http://www.smalltime.com/anon.html) I was aimlessly surfing on the Net when I saw this site again… here’s the [previous thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=111811&highlight=anonymous+message+server) I started on the subject. Post what you left, and what you got back! It’s amusing fun! 😃 I left “I wish they’d understand…” and got back: > [@](#): > > You shall have a wonderful week! It is going to be filled with good things. > > Love, hugs and kisses. Maybe this means that S will call me tomorrow, because I’ve been disappointed in him the last couple of weeks… I can only hope, and expect not to get a phone call. 😉 ---

What I posted (wording not exact, as I forgot to copy the text before I hit the button): > [@](#): > > Tomorrow night, the Purdue women’s basketball team is having its pre-season banquet. I’ll be attending with my lesbian friend. The message I received from the previous poster (copied directly): > [@](#): > > I was going to say that I am chewing gum, but appearently that was too short. Sooo… In the firelane at my college today there was a firetruck, ambulance, and a Mountain Drew truck. I then entered the URL for [this site](http://www.anomalist.com/) and got [this link](http://www.straightdope.com/) in return. ---

How do I avoid getting my own message back? There seems to be no control over that. And I resent the blue implication that it is my own fault. ---

**I sent:** "As I was following my dog up the stairs he let left some wind which may a “bee” line for my nostrils and mouth. Normally this wouldn’t bother me as I’d be past the cloud in only a second. But today he just stopped right there in the middle of the steps. Now this dog goes 120 pounds and getting around him in a narrow staircase is no easy task. Now do you suppose that he stopped so that I would get the full affect of his emittance? I mean he is a male and all…" **I got back:** “ameliorate \A_mel"io_rate, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Ameliorated; p. pr. & vb. n. Ameliorating.] [L. ad + meliorare to make better: cf. F. am['e]liorer.

“Roxell Roxell Bowshot” has come up in several **SDMB** messages. I believe it was **Mangetout** who found the phrase scrawled on a piece of paper and has been puzzled by it ever since. I just wrote a paragraph which referred to a recent **SDMB** post. I won’t quote the text, but will admit to authorship if anyone receives my message. I got back a sentence in Spanish > [@](#): > > La mecánica me pone. which literally translates to “The mechanic put me.” Maybe there’s an idiomatic meaning (“the mechanic laid me”?) I didn’t learn in Spanish class. ---
