The Average Joe Poster Manifesto

Oh, now Veb, I really must protest. You are one of the most respected posters I have run into. I am a nothing on this board, but you are obviously held in high regard. And can I have some of that chip dip? I LOVE Lipton’s Onion Soup Dip.

And I hope I haven’t gone and killed this thread again.

TVeblen I sure have noticed you. You are a force to be reckoned with in the pit. I have always been impressed with you, knowing you live in the Quad-cities, my home for the first 20 years of my life. I like to think since I have seen the world I have shaken off a lot of my midwest, Quad-city naivete, but I think you have done that better than I have and you are there, not traveling the US from place to place like me.

There’s no way we’d let that happen to you, Scotti.

You are a dollface, Kat-

Thank you so much!

“Grateful Scotti”

I made a list. The one about posters you’d most want to see on the people pages. I got one vote. I think I should still be allowed to stay.

Hey - I started that thread !

So does that make me a “15 minute Colonel” to your Elvis ?

Perhaps I am groping at straws.

Oh, wait . . . I just realized I started the Flirting thread, not the crushes one. My bad.

Although Mega was featured prominently there as well.

OOoooops.

It is true: we are the humus in which the wit of this board flourishes. And we need not be ashamed – the bell curve has two sides, y’know.

So we have never been noted for our scintillating and coruscating posts. On the other hand, how many of us can say the following about our posts:
[ul]
[li]Never asked what felching is[/li][li]Never double posted[/li][li]Never told DavidB “But the Bible says so!”[/li][li]Never fed a troll[/li][li]Never posted a topic in the wrong forum[/li][li]Never put the letters “G”, “R” or “Y” together for any reason[/li][li]Basically never acted like a jerk.[/li][/ul]
So there! Be proud to be mediocre, my fellow AJPs!

Your plain-brain-in-a-jar,
Myron

Well (ahem), no.

I can say that I never asked what felching is (on the board that is) primarily because I emailed my eternally obliging buddy DRY and asked him. I was sorry I asked.

And yes, I did double post once, but since I didn’t hit the post reply button twice, I have to believe it was a system error. (Probably MY system.)

And I probably did feed a troll, mostly because I don’t have a very good troll detector yet. How in the Sam Hill do you tell a troll from a nice person having a bad day from a jerk? Inquiring minds want to know!

However, I have never denied being mediocre. I’m not, but I have never until now denied it.

And neither are the rest of you. Instead, we are the proverbial “Salt of the Earth” type people. RIGHT?

NO TVEBLEN CAN NOT APPLY!!! She is Way too popular… I think thats all shes getting at anyway… reasurance for her self concious self… She gets all the nominations and has never ONCE mentioned ANYTHING sexual and desiring about ME!!!
EVERYBODY RAISE YOUR SPIKED CLUB ABOVE YOUR HEAD AND CHASE THE POSER OUT!!!

…Maybe we can start a thread called “Dull, stupid things the AJPs have to say.” No intelligence or wittiness required. I’d do well there.

I cannot tell a lie…you asked about “frottage”, not “felching”. I didn’t explain to you what felching was.

Geez, Scotti, I nearly missed this one–am I gonna have to monitor every one of your posts to clear up misconceptions of me? I create enough of my own damned misconceptions–but at least those are deliberate!

Oh, and no offense but PLEASE do not use my name, “obliging” and “felching” in the same sentence (same goes for “squicking”, “munging” and anything else that you wouldn’t discuss with your nieces or nephews).

I’m sure you understand. :eek:

Well, sheesh, sweetie pie, now I’m gonna have to ask you for a definition of “munging.” Why did you have to go and bring THAT up? (Whatever it is.)

Again, probably this is more information than I need to have.

I admit, it WAS frottage I asked you to define. I went to a link to learn what the felching thing was. I remember now. But hey hon, I wasn’t trying to imply you knew what it was because you had done it. I was alluding to your vast and sophisticated knowledge of the world, and your kindness in sharing it with a little old country girl like me.

So could you see your way clear to quit keep picking on me? Please?

My word, accessing this board is fighting ignorance in ways I never imagined I needed to fight it in!

So to speak.
Scotti

“Lady, shall I lie in your lap?”
“No, my lord.”
“I mean, my head upon your lap?”
“Ay, my lord.”
“Do you think I meant country matters?”
“I think nothing, my lord.”
