The Dopers in the Sharp Parts of the Bell Curve

Just checkin’, but is it really dark where you are? If you can’t tell and don’t like it, tell 'em to stop.

If you do like it, what’s the problem?

<re-reads the question instead of sounding it out fone-et-ik-lee>

Never mind.
The Doper who needs a better watch, and it wouldn’t hurt to leave the house a little sooner…t.e.p…jr8!!!

Huzzah!
You’re never TOO late.

Poster said “Hi” to most by people who don’t even know who I am: ME! :smiley:

::: Major blush :::

A cutie is putting me on a must-kiss list? Maybe I should go to one of these Dopefest thingamadoodies… :stuck_out_tongue:

And here are the Dopies for…

Making Me Laugh and Having a Spicy Name: Dr_Paprika!

Poster I Am Afraid to Talk to Because I’d Probably Turn Into a Drooling Fan Girl: Eve! (Ever since I realized she’s the same Eve Golden who wrote “Vamp : The Rise and Fall of Theda Bara”.)

Fighting the Good Fight: Collunsbury!

My Personal Favorite Poster: Esprix! I was hooked on “ATGG” before I even registered.

Woah! Didn’t notice that before! Cool. :slight_smile: Wondering a bit about why, but still cool. :slight_smile:
And a secret crush on LadyRachel? I did declare it in the crush thread a while back. :slight_smile:

Cumber,[very funny, but a bit over the top for IMHO, o.k.?-Czarcasm]
:smiley:
jir8(ate)…
::sniff::
Thank you, thank you so much.
::dries his tears::

Most Likely to be Seen at a Dopefest: ME! :wink:

I’ve sworn off flirting.

Have a nice day.

<sniff> How flattering is that? Thanks!

Esprix

Well, Cumber, its because I’ve not seem you post anything stupid or dumb so why would anyone flame ya?

Czarcasm? What did you delete?

I’m sure this has been mentioned before, but when I see Cumber’s name, I just wanna add a “Q” to the beginning…

I sarcastically flamed Cumber, with the first 5 profanities that came to mind. Now, I’m gonna go moan and gripe in the Pit because Le Czar decided to do his job and remove one of my statements! ::sniffles::
:smiley:

Keep on the good work, mon Capitan Casm

bells ring, neon signs flash, colourful streamers fly through the air Congratulations dantheman! You’re the lucky one millionth person to make a joke along those lines!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

And just FYI, I do actually have Qcumber registered at another forum that does allow double logins. :slight_smile:
And thank you vanilla! I didn’t know anyone saw any of my posts, I always thought I was one of The Ignored. :slight_smile: You’ve just become my favourite doper (well, apart from Obsidian Flutterby and LadyRachel, obviously :)).

What in the hell does it take to get a Pit thread dedicatated to you these days?

Mercutio, your siggy is too damn long, and the small print hurts my eyes.

Not that it’s worth reading in the first place.

That aughta do it! :slight_smile:

[Thread re-edited to misspell “dedicated”-in another vain attempt to give anyone a reason to blast me in the Pit :)]

[Edited by Czarcasm on 03-07-2001 at 10:27 PM]

I’m starting this pit thread to flame yer ass!

That oughtta do it…

:wink:

::goes off and cries in the corner::
Is this the kind of respect I get after naming you?

::soaks his clothings in his own tears::

And I’m adding my sig, just to spite you!

I ::sob:: gave you ::sobsob:: the best ::sob:: name ::sob: that I could ::ssoo–ooohh-ooohh-oob:: think of!

Poster most likely to nominate herself for something she doesn’t deserve: ME!

I would ask just the opposite what does it take to stay out of the pit these days? :wink:

Huh. Following Lizard’s kind mention (thanx), I was going to nominate myself for Poster who has been around the longest and has around 1000 posts or more who is only just now starting to show up in these sorts of ‘fave’ threads, and is wondering what the frick took so long.

But then it occurs to me it would be more gracious to nominate someone else instead, so let me put three names up for the Top ten most underrated and unfairly forgotten posters (how does that sound?): ianzin, Colibri, and Biggirl.

So instead, I’ll nominate myself for the Top ten posters with around 1000 posts or more who have thus far managed to avoid getting seriously flamed in the Pit. Yeah, that seems reasonable.

Oh, and one more: katrina is the Poster I’m most happy to be married to. :slight_smile:

And finally, I nominate this message for Most gratuitous and annoyingly egregious use of boldface.

How about **Posters who have earned respect with their insight, arcane knowledge or humor? **

There are posters whose name I recognize with a small frisson of delight because I have learned to pay attention when they post:

1.Fenris who is highly knowledgable in SF, and whose series on moderator origins is a certifiable masterpiece.

2.CalMeacham who is often a voice of calm reason amid the shouting

3.Hi, Opal! for her “love” of lists

4.BigStar303 who flat out knows rock & roll history

5.Mjolnir ditto, and much else

6.AuntiePam who has demonstrated considerable empathy

and a half dozen more who shall remain unnamed, so that I can avoid offending the other 12,954 registered dopers.

Just want to add thanks to all of you.
