I believe that although I mix with **Nymysys** like oil and water, she ain’t all that bad. I believe that **Mauvaise** has been such an important friend for me that I would have jumped off the dam without her there to talk me down. I believe that one day, there will be a dopefest in Denver with more than 3 people. I believe that everyone who has mentioned me thus far is entirely too kind. I believe that **Demo** is my long lost, better looking brother. ---

> [@](#): > > Spiritus is a wise sage who is paid to sit in an office and think Great Thoughts. He is paid well for this philosophising. I believe that I would rather have the job **kabbes** imagines for me than my real job. I beliee that I have now been mentioned twice in an MPSIMS “which poster” thread. I believe that’s a NEW MUNDI RECORD! I believe that **xenophon41** is a thoughtful, witty poster who will get his butt licked if he doesn’t meet me for dinner tomorrow night. I believe that **Manda Jo** has the highest sensible post::total post ratio on the SDMB. I belive that **Doobious** secretly trains seals at Sea World to belch noxiously when taunted by six year olds. I believe that **SPOOFE** still whispers “BO DIDDLY” every time he reads his user name. I believe that **erislover** still has the hots for Ayn. I believe that **sam stone** secretly wishes he could do good Bogart. I believe **polycarp** is too good to be false. ---

In a similar vein, I believe that one mention of **kabbes** is a new k-record too. So hurray for both of us. Oh - and I also believe that **erislover** has what he _calls_ an Ayn Rand shrine on his wall at home. It’s actually a mirror. (ho ho) pan ---

Spiritus Mundi said “Uke Ike looks just like Tiny Tim but with better hygeine.” From the book I’m With The Band, the author, who met Tiny, said he took 5 showers a day. I believe Manhatten has a self-constructed 4 foot tall bong, which he shows to all his friends and tells them how to build one themselves… (manny, I’m kidding, dont hurt me) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hardygrrl \* > I believe \*\* iampunha \*\* shoould be a male model. I believe this place has been more of an ego boost to me than I’m willing to admit:) I believe that **hardygrrl** is a dominatrix at heart. I believe that if **Esprix** and **matt\_mcl** , met IRL, you would not be able to tear matt from Esprix. Catfight would ensue. Matt would win. I believe that Airman Doors and Ad\_Noctum are two of the most underrated posters on this board. And, um, . . . they’re good soccer players, I dunno. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SPOOFE \* > I believe that ExTank has a collection of several hundred fully-automatic rifles, machine guns, SMG’s, carbines, and a good-sized collection of berettas, glocks, HK’s, all sitting around on his bedroom floor, waiting to be used… …on arachnids. (I’m never letting him live that story down. 🙂 ) I believe I’d enjoy drinking with **Cal** and **Pepper Mill**. (I make mead, too.) I believe that **Wolverine** has been lying to us all along, and really _is_ a tough, clawed, stogey-sucking mutant. I believe that **Sengkelat** prizes eloquence over meaning…but occasionally has problems with both. 🙂 I believe that **Cervaise** is actually a hyperintelligent bottle of beer bent on integrating itself into society (without being drunk). I believe **KneadToKnow** is striving diligently to achieve enlightenment while working in a bakery, deluded victim of a tragic homonym-related accident. I believe **HelloKitty** is a tough, mean-looking biker. I believe **Knighted Vorpal Sword** should make a point of staying out of **Mnementh** ’s reach, just in case. I believe **Balance** should have chosen a more memorable user name. I believe that’s enough for now. ---

I believe HARDYGRRL has met ANTHRACITE on the field of battle…and wants another piece of her. I believe NUMBER SIX is a Lieutenant in ANTHRACITE’S private army, specializing in hacking Government and Corporate data-bases. I believe SPOOFE has clibed Mount Everest, for the sole purpose of installing the all-time-mother cell phone tower. I believe VANILLA is actually Martha Stewart. I believe ERISLOVER will implement a working solution to promote peace in war-torn Northern Ireland…for free. Then, implement the same solution in the Middle East… for a Hundred Billion Dollars (BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!). I believe BARBARIAN is a cuddly little teddy-bear at heart. ---

I believe SDIMBERT posts to the SDMB from his hell-hole cubicle at work. I believe TOADSPITTLE is an apprentice to SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD. I believe that BERNSE is a genius engineer, whose 100mph car he invented is being repressed by the Big Three Auto Companys, as well as the oil industry. I believe CARNIVOROUSPLANT likes “Little Shop Of Horrors” a little too much. I believe KNIGHTED VORPAL SWORD just wants MNEMENTH to come out and…play. Yeah, thats the ticket! I believe SMACKFU considers the Three Stooges martial artists. I believe MORRISON’S LAMENT is an Existentialist Street Poet hanging out in the Upper-East Side. I believe MOUTHBREATHER is almost a big a slob as I am, but not quite. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Balance \* > **I believe that Wolverine has been lying to us all along, and really _is_ a tough, clawed, stogey-sucking mutant.** I believe I was going to say that. 😃 I have this mental image of **Wolverine** wearing blue and yellow spandex and trying to type with adamantium claws. I believe that I should go back to studying now. ---
