I believe you should not be confusing us newbies with such tales. You know how impressionable we can be. ---

I believe **Wolverine** is not surprised to see I mentioned him. I believe **jarbaby** is as cute as a bug-in-a-rug(ya’ know, that saying don’t sound so nice when you analyze it). I actually think she’s as cute as a teddy-bear-in-a-rug(but not that Teddy from A.I…yeesh!). I believe **Paul the Younger** is actually…older. I believe **Mahaloth** is about to go make his sig. shorter becuase this longer one isn’t working out(hasta la vista, siggy!) ---

Well, lets see. “The truth was that Humfrey was a crotchety old man who preferred isolation in the wilderness.” –Piers Anthony, “A spell for Chameleon” Except for the old part, I can identify. Heck, I even identify with the old part! Qadgop ---

I believe that **MGibson** is actually _Mel_ Gibson. Every time I see his posts, I picture Mel sitting in his office, just typing away on the SDMB. And if he isn’t Mel, he must be at least as handsome:) [sub]Yes, I know, he always signs his posts as “Marc.” This is probably just a ruse to keep us from discovering his true identity. But I’m far too clover for you, Mel.[/sub] ---

I believe that **Crunchy Frog** is the recently viewed a movie where someone said “That, ma’am, is a damnable lie!” and decided that he liked the phrase enough to use it at every opportunity. 😛 (Take that, you, you AUTHOR you. I’ll get you back for having more motivation than me, one day at a time…) ---

Awwwwwwww…poop. Ya got me. But, allow me to rephrase: I believe that **Crunchy Frog** is a stupid-head. A really, really big stupid head. And a poop face. Come back from THAT, witty man! I’d also like to add that my dad could take your dad, and if you think otherwise, I’ll meet you at the flagpole after school. ---

I believe **Upham** is the coolest human being alive. I believe **Mercutio** is not of this Earth. I believe that the ever-lovable **Mr Cynical** (sorry man, I’ll never get used to the manservant thing…) is really an enormous, living teddy bear who wants nothing more than to spread love, cheer, and jellybeans to everyone he meets. 😃 I believe **WickedBlue** is really good at Scrabble. I believe **Mnementh** to be the most irresistable of men. [sub] I believe **Mnementh** needs his meds. And a beer. And another beer.[/sub] ---

I believe **Persephone** has about a jillion gorgeous flowering houseplants and walks around in a long flowing gown a lot. ---

I believe that should you ever invite **spoofe** to your house for a party, you should lock up the toothbrushes and the toothpaste, and that should you ever invite **oldscratch** you should make sure that the pets are at the boarding kennels. ---

I believe **jarbabyj** can actually do wirework moves like in the Matrix, in real life. I believe that **Scylla** could kick my ass in several dozen distinct fashions, blindfolded. I believe that **iampunha** has absolutely no idea how handsome he is. That one baffles me. I believe that someday, a surprising percentage of the SDMB membership will be employed by **Jester** , or one of his subsidiaries. I believe **Ad Noctum** is actually a 46-year-old venture capitalist who just likes saying things like “doody” and “booger”. I believe that someday, somehow, **Matt\_mcl** will save the world. It will probably involve the metro. I believe that **Duck Duck Goose** is actually either Berke Breathed or Bill Watterson. ---

I believe that **BlackKnight** will never be mentioned in any thread such as this, since he is horribly asocial and doesn’t make friends easily. ---

Ah, sorry about that, Ginger, but [I’m](http://angelfire.com/va2/iampunha1/mypage.html) 19.

I believe that **uglybtch** is neither ugly nor a btch. I base this only on her (the “her” is a guess based on the “btch” part) thinking and writing skills, which I admire. Of course there are others here whose thinking and writing I admire. I mention **uglybtch** to show newbie solidarity. ---
