Only 6 of 19 threads cited were really about patients/prison. And I’d love to play my musical anoscope on American Idol! 😃

Qadgop, there’s a difference between playing at being nuts and actually being nuts. It’s more obvious you’re in this for fun and not trying to subvert our worldview with your own crackpot version.

XD!!!

Makes me wonder if RW made that as a sort of olive branch in light of his earlier efforts to disparage/flee from A + R Records for signing (for just a week!) the Sex Pistols.  
Keep in mind - I’ve only heard that, and yet to come up with a cite to back that.  
Or maybe the video was a slight against the punks, instead of trying to identify with them in any way?

And thanks **Qadgop** for what might look like an interesting reading list.

Every now and again, I think that my posts are clever or funny enough to run with the big dogs on the SDMB.

Then I read a comment like that, and I think,“SMV, son, best you just stay quiet before your betters.”

It’s not often that I really, actually do Laugh Out Loud at something I read on the intertoobz, but that got me snorting. Raucous applause, **Left Hand of Dorkness** , raucous applause.

The latest Trump joke and twitter hashtag reminded me of ZPhobiaZ, AKA Manny Peoples. Very oldtimey. He’d start GQs with “Manny peoples wonder and now I ask . . .” and then ask a ridiculous or racist question.

So there you have it. Donald Trump is an odd Straight Dope poster from 15 or 16 years ago.

But we recently got a British freak with a similar tick, he closed every sentence with “then” and was altogether mostly incomprehensible, damned if I remember his handle…He started a thread pitting Tony Blair for the Iraq war 13 years after the fact some weeks ago.

Ha. That’s what he wants you to think.

Haven’t we had a Never Nude amongst us? And someone else that refused to have any uncovered mirrors in their house?

**Dunmurry**. Showed up after an absence of several years, posted a half dozen or so daft threads, and seems to have disappeared again, then.

The Lone Ranger is captured by Indians, speaks to Silver, who brings first a red head woman, then a blonde, then a brunette, and then the Lone Ranger chides him for not bringing the posse.
