> [@running\_coach](#): > > Interlocking fingers? These handshake jokes are getting old. It’s time to move on to the dead baby jokes. You know how I said that I was going through her posting history, and it felt like going through her underwear drawer? And that it was mostly boring underwear? Well, the thing is that I was really only looking at the top couple of layers. I should have dug a bit deeper. Turns out that there’s a dead baby in there. ---

Who’s the guy who insisted “let’s go throw things down the quarry” (or whatever it was) was a perfectly good replacement for “LOL”? Everybody told him it was super annoying but he would not stop saying it. Also, the amateur lawyer lady who continually got into arguments with **Bricker** and other real lawyers (well, purportedly real I guess, it is the internet after all). Is she still around? I’m not good with remembering names… ---

> [@MrSquishy](#): > > Also, the amateur lawyer lady who continually got into arguments with **Bricker** and other real lawyers (well, purportedly real I guess, it is the internet after all). Is she still around? There’s actually more than one of those. (I can think of two offhand.) ---

Ah, I just remembered one of the threads was about Trayvon Martin, and a search led me to **Stoid**. Also not sure why I didn’t just search for “quarry” earlier. That guy was **Snowboarder Bo**. ---

Everybody told him it was super annoying but he would not stop saying it. That’s **Snowboarder Bo** , but the reaction to that wasn’t universally negative. I still find it funny, and love it when other people reference it. YMMV, obviously. ---

Everybody told him it was super annoying but he would not stop saying it. That’s **Snowboarder Bo** , who is otherwise one of my favorite posters especially because he’s very knowledgeable about music and has very good taste, but that meme was very juvenile. I did similar things in school when I was 18 and found it very clever. Today, not so much. But the guy’s ok. ---

**Snowboarder Bo** is still an active member and people still joke about him and the quarry thing, but I don’t think he’s considered all that odd overall. He still throws in jokes about it himself occasionally. When he first started doing it, a lot of us were more puzzled than anything. It didn’t make sense to us in any of the contexts in which he used it. As I recall, after being questioned about it, he said that it was a reference to some TV sitcom. ---

Anybody remember him? Seems like he got into it with **Satan**. **Screwtape**! I haven’t thought about that nutbar in quite a while. Herein is a [wonderful exchange](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=65569) with **Scylla** on the former’s many glorious battles upon points of honor. I still say he had one of the best [flounces](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=1227221&postcount=49) in Dope history. ---

To clarify: I don’t mean the “oh, her baby died, how sad, why are you joking about that?” kind of dead baby. I mean the “she thinks killing babies is OK, and enjoys expressing that view it in a less than polite fashion” kind of dead baby. Hey, I said in that other Pit thread that there should be a warning somewhere. Consider this the warning. OK. I’m done with this now. ---

Did someone already mention **Lifesucks** , who was convinced that surgery would be the death of his soul (or something like that)? (With a hat tip to **Omar Little** - I was thinking of this guy, but OL found him.) [LifeSucks](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=715059) ---

**cg16** sure gets annoyed about a lot of things. Just grabbing the last 4 threads he started: He doesn’t like [his toast mixing with other breakfast items](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=805490). He doesn’t like [small ass-bags when shopping](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=805491). (bonus [link](https://xkcd.com/37/)) He doesn’t like [teams who try to win games](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=805492) at the end of the season. He doesn’t like it when [people talk about teams that are not the Broncos](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=805713). More weirdness: the thread IDs of the first 3 are sequential. I picture him carrying a little notebook everywhere where he jots down the latest injustice so they can be remembered when he’s next at the keyboard. “Ooooh, egg-stained toast, you just made The List.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-oddest-posters/761038.md?page=19) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-oddest-posters/761038.md?page=21)
