> [@What Exit?](#): > > He has been very Trollish so far. He copied pictures from a Genesis site, [Genisis Park](http://www.genesispark.com/genpark/ancient/ancient.htm) to hide the origin of them and then basically lied in his GD Op. What a fun site! I especially liked the fourth paragraph: > [@](#): > > The ancient Sumatrans produced multiple pieces of art depicting long-tailed, long-necked creatures with a headcrest. Some of these animals resemble hadrosaurs… They also resemble _chickens_. ---

He’s not smart enough to be a troll. I just hope he doesn’t breed. The gene pool is shallow enough as it is. ---

> [@Thudlow Boink](#): > > It’s always a good sign when a poster refers to himself in the third person. I am just waiting for him to post to a picture thread with his tinfoil hat on and a leather jacket. BTW: Where do you purchase Tinfoil these days? I think there are probably a large consortium of evil organizations that have been selling\* Aluminum foil as Tinfoil and all these poor people are not getting the protection they believe the are.

It’s not all bad. I ended up at a site called [Genesispark.org](http://Genesispark.org), and they have this page: [http://www.genesispark.org/genpark/croc/croc.htm](http://www.genesispark.org/genpark/croc/croc.htm) It’s about crocodiles, and they have a link to a sound bite of a crocodile making a chirping noise. I’m playing it right now, and it’s driving my dog crazy. So, thanks **TheFonz**. ---

I liked this one, from the [GD thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=379174) about Bush not stepping down after the 2008 elections: > [@TheFonz](#): > > With all the apathy going around these days I don’t think anyone would really notice or give a damn. The few people would, but then they’d get howled out of the forums and sites like straightdope by people who call them conspiracists. “If it were illegal he wouldn’t have gotten away with it, right?” Right. The posters on this forum are so apathetic towards GW Bush that they just wouldn’t give a damn. ---

> [@duffer](#): > > Have you noticed the company he keeps? Says more than anything we can. dude, isn’t he hangin’ out with us??? generally, anyone who self identifies w/an old TV character is operating with a euker deck of cards in the first place. Couple that w/the referring to self in third person, and you have a real gem. (I once received a resume that was done in the 3rd person. Guy IRL also made many references to Mork. hey, wait a minute… ) ---

I’m playing it right now, and it’s driving my dog crazy. It’s all true; before the fall of man, approximately six thousand years ago, crocodiles were cheerful, affectionate herbivores, regarded in much the same way as small finches and canaries are today, but with the additional ability to smile. ---
