Try our Dope, come on we dare you.

Dopers, you can’t eat just one.

A little Dope 'll do ya.

Cecil who?

and finally, to really get their attention…

“We know what 42 means” (but it’s a secret, shh)

Amazing Dope, how sweet the word  
that saved my stupid ass.  
I once was dumb, am now a nerd;  
got pitted (was really crass).

Twas Dope that saved a fool like me  
from ignorance untamed  
And Dope shall lead to my vict’ry  
o’er ignorance un’shamed.

We have been here since '73  
Chi Reader, SDMB and all  
we know we’re smart, like Louis Leakey  
And at last ignorance will fall.

**The Straight Dope** - the third word that ends in “gry”

_Now with the Asshat tag!_

Lexus has the “December to Remeber Sales Event”, maybe the SDMB has the “December You Try Really Hard To Forget Pitting Event”?

(side effects include, but not limited to: insomnia, burning eyes, lack of social life, and addiction to TMI)

**You Dope?**

It’s what I regularly inquired at Chance’s Dopefest where his real-life friends and family mingled with Dopers. In response, one gent said, “I keep getting asked that, but I don’t even know what it means.”

From the OP’s thread:

**You’ll Wonder Where the Yellow Went, When You Brush Your Teeth with Straight Dope.**

It has a sort of surrealistic ring to it.

Or, **It’s the Bright One, it’s the Right One, that’s Straight Dope.**.
