Hey Missy, I’m just here to make a liar out of you.
The thread lives! The thread lives! Long live the thread!

Ha! I scoff at you. I am the new thread-killer in town! Affixing my post to a thread results in a drop to oblivion so fast it makes heads spin (well, mine anyway). Fear me, for I am below even Average!
Me, me. I’m one too. I was born to be mild.
Well, I’ve had a couple of high points in my post career, but basically, I’m a MPSIMS Whore. I’ve answered one question in GQ(About Klingons), I’ve barely been able to follow a Great Debate, much less post to it, and my best flames don’t come close to the masters.
I’m also the Thread Killah Extraordinaire.
So, can I be Former Second Stringer(Like Aquaman) Who Now Posts Every Now And Then?
Went to IRC chat for the second time last night. One of the SDMB’s regular posters said “Hey, sandyr, who are you?”
Yup, count me in.
No sequins, though - they’re too flash for an AJP like me. I’ll be the one in the corner wearing jeans and playing by myself.
I agree. How else would people realize how witty the SDMB literarti’s posts are if it weren’t for me (and the other AJPs) posting something banal?
Hi, I’m Persephone, and I’m a Jane Poster with a High Post Count.
I don’t do much to eradicate ignorance. Not because I don’t want to, but simply because I’m ignorant myself. I’m bright enough to know I’m ignorant, though, so while I read the other forums, I rarely post anywhere but here, in my beloved MPSIMS.
Bluepony, I never went to college. I swear to the Goddess, I cannot throw a Frisbee to save my life. If you’ve got a minute, please, share your secret.
I’d like to think that I’m an Above-Average-Joe-Poster, but as I live on the underbelly of the world, I guess that makes me much lower than the rest of you. Unless you are further south than 35 degrees latitude.

Painfully average, not very useful me checking in…
I’ll be over in the coner staring at the floor now (boy this room has a lot of corners 
)

Average Joe divemaster, doing my part for the cause. Actually, my problem is not too much MPSIMS; it is not enough. I don’t flirt, and I’m not too proficient at witty reparté. I don’t even know what or where the “chat” room is.

Hi… uh… my name is Drewbert, and I’m an Average Joe Poster.
I don’t live in front of a computer, and i don’t post eight times a day, maybe only once every three days or so.
I don’t know Coldfire or UncleBeer or Satan from the Straight Dope Message Board, but I’m sure they’re really nice people.
I’ve never started an “Ask the ____ Guy” thread.
This post didn’t just come to me out of thin air. I had to work on it. Over lunch.
We’re not trolls or sock puppets. And it IS pronounced EM-PIZ-IMS, not MIP-SIMS, EM-PIZ-IMS!
Average Joe Posters write their OWN signatures and profiles, and we’ve never been welcomed by anyone official!
Average Joe Posters are the majority of posters and we’re the Best Part of the Straight Dope Message Board!
MY NAME IS DREWBERT, AND
**I…
AM…
AN AVERAGE JOE POSTER!

ahem. thank you.
I was all ready to sign up as an official AJP until I saw Bluepony and Sue Duhnym. They raise the bar so that I’m not sure I qualify.
How about an auxilliary for VERY Average Joe/Jane Posters?
But I am still average. I’ve killed threads. I’ve composed threads that got lost at the bottom in less than an hour. I try to contribute. I don’t use “me too” posts. I’m not an official anything. But you know what? I don’t want to be. That’s right. I don’t care. I am me, just another average Jane, and that’s the way I like it. Yeah. So there, or something.
VB opens door, looks in:
Whoa! Incredibly average!
Just thought I’d say hi, Y’all! I’ll belong if Mully does.
hmmm I feel like I’m on the set of Antz…
but hey count me in…dave, one average dude
Another average Jane here.
And I’m not one to toot my own horn, but I think I am much more average than you guys.
If I was food, I’d be boiled potatoes – without salt or butter.
If I was a car, I’d be an Escort.
If I was a bird, I’d be a sparrow.
See how average I am? You guys can’t compete with that.
(And I really think it should be “if I were”, but I’m so average, I don’t feel qualified to participate in grammar threads, so I can’t be sure.)
Welcome, fellow Janes and Joes!
I’m glad that you’re showing up here. Oh, as for those of you who may or may not be Average Joes or Janes, that’s okay, you can consider yourself Honorary Joes or Janes. We Average Posters are generally very amendible (dible? dable? whatever.)
I am working on a quiz so everyone knows if they’re average or not, but . . . well, you know how things go. I’ve only got two questions done and haven’t figured out the scoring system. Maybe I’ll get around to it after I’m done playing Diablo II. I gotta do my laundry though . . .
Oh, in the meantime, you can come up with titles for yourselves. Since I was the original poster, I humbly submit that my title be “Average Joe Spokesman.” And for pricciar, who came up with the title, I suggest the title “First Joe” or maybe “Average Joe Visionary.” Up to you.
Go forth and be average, my friends.

Ho boy. Talk about belonging.
None of my threads find wings.
I’ve never started a ThreadSpotting contender.
I don’t think I’ve made more than 4 or 5 people splort or LOL.
I, sir, am average.

Hi. I just came in, if anyone cares. Anyone? Nope, didn’t think so.
Your averageness pales in comparison to my extreme, outstanding averageosity.
