Semi-witty comment that makes poster laugh, while the regulars scorn the poster for padding his meager post count with an unfunny comment.
Unrelated anecdote so that others do not realize that the sole purpose of this post was putting up the aforementioned semi-witty comment.
Quote from a comedian
Point-by-point refutation of picmr, invoking: Möbius’ tortured geometry. Escher as popularizer. Hofstader’s incomprehension of contemporary music. Claim that Turing was a drug addict. Extended diatribe supporting “the Umlautsian contribution”. Veiled insult.
underscores and forward slashes
sig about not having a sig
PostCount = PostCount + 1;
Statement how outrage/support/interest about OP caused change from lurker status.
Blatant sucking up to regulars in hopes of post being taken seriously.
Post Count envy causes a voluminous post in mistaken belief that quantity = quality. Attempt at intellectualism foiled by frequent misspellings and use of words “kewl” and “RULZ”. Parts of post that make sense later revealed to be paraphrased versions of previous posts.
Lame attempt to insert self into inside joke followed by x number of smilies (where x is greater than 10).
Pathetic attempt to get involved in flirting and accidental use of “putz” smiley.
Promises to become regular and positive contributor.
Secretly worried that a bad first impression was made.
Returns to being lurker, but never gathers sufficient courage to read responses to own post.
Tired witticism attributed to incorrect historical figure.
Criticism previous poster for obvious lack of having read whole thread.
Hopes it is not obvious that whole tread was not read on own part.
Completely OT anecdote, followed by gratuitous use of Jewish smilie.
Ill-advised joke inquiring about the origins of the Jewish smilie.
Unintelligibly cryptic word salad indicating rapid approach of psychotic episode.
Ironic statement, understood as irony and dismissed as reaching by most posters, incomprehensible to everyone else.
Awed, yet sincere observance of the overwhelming knowlege base of the posters collectively.
endearing statement of desire for equal effort on future possible queries and conundrums.
tearful lament for lack of sig line
bump
Long, boring (and completely inaccurate) explanation of how “The Internet” is running out of domain names.

Apologies for doing so, “just this once.”
Welcome to some newbies. Ignoring others.
Gratuitous abuse.
Foul word.
Apologies to moderator for use of foul word, promise never to do it again.
Rambling diatribe.
More promises to post evidence soon, after court date.

(long line of letters as acronym that no-one will understand but a few insiders)
Pithy one-liner.
Drops in and quickly skims through thread to see if name is mentioned.
Sees that DRY mentioned her and beams, even if it had to do with something sexual.
Answers that the tongue-lashing was meant for any of the dopers that really want it, and winks a couple times to indicate that she’s just joking around and being a tease as usual.
Mentions her status as a minor and what a pity it is.
Trademark Welfy face to everyone. :^)
Innoucous, inevitable, redundant post on length of thread
