If you guys don’t stop making me laugh – okay, making me smile – I’ll have to ask our leader to remove your boring privileges.
How about an official Average book, TV show, band/rock group, sports team, movie? Not Awful, cuz Average doesn’t equal Awful, remember.
This is too much fun. We’re losing our focus, I think.
Ohmigod! I broke 1,000! Cool beans for me. But no party, okay? I like this group and I don’t wanna get booted.
I don’t know Persephone, aren’t sprinkles a little too, I don’t know, controversial? Better play it safe and go without. That is, if the rest of the group agrees.
OMG, I just stated an opinion without being asked. I hope ya’ll don’t hate me. I’ll just keep my mouth shut from now on…
I can’t think of anything witty to add, but as the Average Joe Spokesman I feel obligated to post.
Let’s see, colors . . . does this mean buying clothes? I mean, I am an Average Joe. Can’t we just use jeans? They’re comfy . . . oh, all right. I guess we could take a vote. Anyone want to write up the ballots? Anyone? Oh well.
As for a slogan, I was using “AJP: We will take over the world, once we get our laundry done.” Being an Average Joe Mathematician, I kinda like the bell curve one . . . kinda funny, kinda nerdy, suits me!
(Anyone else can use the one THEY liked of course.)
Oh, we still have titles open. Feel free to take them on a first come first served basis. If there are any arguments, you can work things out yourselves. I gotta do my laundry.

I’m an average freaky joe? Is that good enough?
Well, since I have only started about six thread, all of which died after mercifully brief lives, I guess that makes me average.
(pssst, Persephone, I missed your name change. Sorry.)
Tomndebb? Posting in MPSIMS?
:::bows humbly before the Mightiest Voice Of Reason Ever:::
We would be honored if you would join us AJP’s. Really, really honored. But we won’t make a big deal out of it. We’ll just stand around & say “Cool, tomndebb is here.”
Oh, that’s okay about not noticing the name change. I rarely venture into the territories that require actual knowledge about actual stuff, so you wouldn’t have known. 
Average Jo D, checking in. Hated by a few, loved by a few, inducing yawns in many. Never made anyone’s “Poster I’d Most Like To Air-Kiss” list, thought if nominated I would not run and if elected I would not serve, so that’s just as well.
Now that my 15 minutes of SD fame has plumeted with the crush thread, I come to you, the Average Joe Posters of the SDMB and beg your acceptance.
Thank you.
Just another poster,
-mega the roo
You had 15 minutes! Anyone else here had 15 minutes? Didn’t think so. Harrumph.
Ah well, we’ll take ya anyway. Can’t be too choosy, can we?
I am proud to be an Average Joe.

And here’s another ‘add me to the list’ post. Waves Mind you, I’ve not been here all that long, but I can already tell that I’m headed right for the top of the Baw-ring scale. In fact, my posts are so John-Majoresque dull that they give readers whiplash from passing out so fast, and sleep clinics all over the world are printing them out to use in treating chronic insomnia, with much success.
The couple of times I’ve wanted to reply to something in GD or the Pit, someone’s always beat me to it and said it so much better than I could ever put it. Grr.
And we won’t even get into flames except to (pointlessly) mention that I’d be useless even with a hundred gallons of napatha and a lighter. FWIW, I love Persephone’s AJP Official Flame!
I can’t even think of an interesting .sig. How lame is THAT?
And now, I’m off for a nice boring dinner at a nice boring locally owned Italian place. Back to obscurity!
Oh oh. I feel controversy bubbling up…can’t hold back…struggling…
I like F-distributions.
Whew! Where did that come from? Okay, having gotten that out of my system, I can go for a bell-shaped curve. As long as it’s normal too. Now back to doing my dishes.
When I first heard about this club, I thought that maybe this was a place where I could come to feel wanted and appreciated, but after seeing some of the big-name celebs in here who consider themselves average, I’m too afraid to ask for an application.
Maybe if nobody minds, I’ll just hide over here out of sight till after the party and help clean up afterwards (sigh…)
Well, I was going to write a witty and articulate post about my qualifications to be here (hey! I just broke 100! only took 7 months!), but I’m thinking about maybe making some peanut butter cookies instead. Plus it’s the weekend, which means it’s time to clean the house. Oh well. Maybe by next year I’ll have the courage to start a thread.
I admit it …
I am a “Joe Poster” …
I can’t even come up with my own witty comments, I have hired a technical writer to be me.
I want attention … pay me some attention …
Sylence, thank you for starting this thread. I feel like an alcoholic, previously in denial, at hir first AA meeting, listening to the stories and thinking “That’s me!” Maybe it’s because I’m only slightly less reticent online than I am IRL; I talk a lot, but I never really get loose. I wouldn’t know what to do in the “naked coed pillow fight” threads, and I can’t get into the spirit of the post count parties. To use another analogy, I’m like a commuter student at a college or university. I show up for class and hang out in the coffee shop; I’m known and not disliked,but I don’t have close attatchments, and I’m not around for the road trips and parties and late night confessions. But I’m also not around when people get busted!
Controversial? I’d say they are risque not controversial…
Oh, my God! A place where I belong! Home! I am an AJP! What a relief!
And I am an Average Joe Poster.
I have no particular expertise in any particular subject.
I have only started one GD thread, and it died quickly.
My post count, despite being registered in April (although, I really didn’t start posting until June), is abysmally low.
I killed what could arguably be the “most viewed” (6133 views, yet only 58 responses, at last count) thread, among others:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=26377
My responses to posts go unheeded and are largely ignored, while posters who re-state what I had said get praise and recognition.
I have never responded to a sex thread.
I have never started my own “Ask me!” thread.
I am a lousy debater.
I am not one of the “nicest posters”, “favorite chatters”, or on anyone’s “laminated list”.
I am so average, I doubt anyone will even read this post.
But dammit, I’m proud to be an AJP!
